Hailey Welch aka the Hawk Tuah girl shares her journey amidst fame
In her new video, the Hawk Tuah girl, Hailey Welch, began by discussing the "the three awesome things" that changed her life since going viral. The first thing she noted was conquering her stage fright and performing in front of 80,000 people with Zach Bryan. She also admitted that while she couldn't sing, she "did it anyway."
She then revealed that she had quit her job at the Spring Factory. She added that this meant that she wouldn't have to eat Taco Bell all the time but that she was going to "do it anyways."
"Number two, I quit my job at the Spring Factory, so I don't have to eat Taco Bell all the time, but I'm still gonna do it anyways," Hailey added.
She joked about how she would "have to get ready more than one time out of the week" as she claimed she wasn't "allowed to look like Adam Sandler anymore." However, Welch also highlighted three challenges she has been dealing with.
The first challenge was the persistent paparazzi presence outside her house. She said that she had to dissuade her pawpaw from taking drastic measures against them.
The second challenge was the rumors that she had an OnlyFans account, which she firmly denied having. She emphasized that all her content was purely for humor. She then expressed frustration over all the fake social media accounts and counterfeit merchandise being sold without her approval.
In addition to addressing these issues, the Hawk Tuah girl also told her followers that she was taking steps to combat the counterfeit merchandise issue. She said that the merchandise being sold and bought online was not from her, adding that it wasn't approved by her.
"And by the way, there's one more thing that's really p*ssing me off. Any of you selling or purchasing merchandise online, it's not from me. It's not approved by me, and it's counterfeit, and I'm not making a damn dime off of any of it."
Hailey, who gained a lot of fame as the Hawk Tuah girl has hired a manager and an attorney to handle the situation. She also plans to launch her official merchandise store soon, promising fans they will be the first to know when it goes live.
