We’re truly in an era of people going viral and just becoming famous for the most random of things, and the latest one is, of course, the Hawk Tuah girl.
In a now-viral video, Hailey Welch is approached in the street for an interview where she’s asked how she gets over a breakup, and then her go-to move in bed that makes a man go crazy. She replies: “Oh you gotta give him that hawk tuah, spit on that thing” whilst imitating spitting, well, on a dick.
The video has gone insanely viral, but if you haven’t seen the original here it is in all its glory:

She’s said in interviews that she doesn’t just want to be known as the Hawk Tuah girl. Speaking on a podcast, Hailey said: “I don’t really want that being my image. Like Hawk Tuah girl I just don’t really see that being my thing .” So what else does she want to be known as?

Appearing on a podcast to talk about her fame, Hailey was asked whether creepy guys message her as a result of the viral video and she replied: “The guy that does my hats got offered $600 like three days ago for me to spit in a jar and sell it. That is revolting. Like that is just disgusting is it not? And I was like should I do it and then I was like no I shouldn’t do that.”
