"She's literally just a girl from a small town"— Internet reacts as tweet comparing the Hawk Tuah girl to Baphomet goes viral 

Hawk Tuah Girl, real name Hailey Welch, is being compared to Baphomet on X. On August 6, 2024, X user @beneathhersoull alleged that Hailey showed signs of supporting the gnostic idol. The viral post claimed Hailey's hand gestures resembled the Baphomet statue and compared her facial structure to a male's, suggesting she supported the pagan figure.

The post also read:

“Hawk tuah is an old kabbalistic mantra in Hebrew that is charged like a sigil when people say it, type it, or hear it. This gives the demiurge more influence over you through lust.”

For those uninitiated, Baphomet is a deity that became the official insignia of the Church of Satan. However, it originally symbolized restoring balance and equilibrium.

The post also claimed that since Hailey Welch was spotted wearing a red band on her hand, she was wearing the Kabbalah. For those uninitiated, the red bracelet is a symbol that is believed to ward off misfortune and the “evil eye.” It is also worn by those who follow Kabbalism to attract good luck.

The social media post had amassed over 3.2 million posts at the time of writing this article.

Netizens did not believe that the Hawk Tuah girl was a supporter of Baphomet or a depiction of the occult figure. Several internet users took to X to ridicule the claims by saying:

“This is a crazy level of reaching,” an X user said.

“Y’all got too much free time,” another platform user commented.

Along with being compared to the devil, the Hawk Tuah Girl was also dubbed as an “industry plant” as she amassed immense fame online. Meanwhile, other reactions read:

“please find god,” an internet user stated.

“I liked this because it’s funny. You liked it because you think it’s true,” an X user said.

“Hard reach,” a platform user commented.

Meanwhile, the social media sensation has been appearing on numerous podcast shows, including the Howie Mandel Does Stuff Podcast. Some other reactions read:

“Twitter slowly turning into Facebook,” an X user commented.

“Mr. Fantastic levels of reach,” a platform user commented.

“Have you considered getting a job? Something to occupy your time,” another netizen said.
