Hailey Welch, better known as the Hawk Tuah Girl, has maintained her viral fame since her interview went public on TikTok on June 19. Hailing from Tennessee, Welch has been making the most of her newfound celebrity status, participating in a range of activities from interviews with NBA Hall of Famer Shaquille O’Neal to community managers leveraging the “hawk Tuah” phrase for advertising. Even Logan Paul joined the trend, incorporating the “hawk Tuah” as a celebration in WWE.
Shortly after her rise to fame, Hailey collaborated with a local company, Fathead Threads, to release a line of hats. According to Welch, this is the only legitimate merchandise that benefits her directly, as opposed to the numerous fake products circulating online. In a video, she discussed the positives and negatives of her viral status, notably addressing whether she has an OnlyFans account. She expressed frustration over impostors and fake accounts using her name for their own gain without her consent.
Hailey clarified that she does not have an OnlyFans and has no intention of creating one. While this might be disappointing to some, it shows her desire to maintain her personal integrity, suggesting that “money isn’t worth disgracing yourself.” The financial potential of OnlyFans is immense; according to medium.com,Bella Thorne, the platform’s top earner in 2024, makes around $11 million per month, a figure that surpasses the earnings of many top athletes.
Despite her viral fame, it seems Hailey Welch intends to return to her normal life. She continues to work in a bed spring factory and not as a teacher, contrary to circulating rumors that she was fired from her job due to the viral video. Whether her fame will last remain to be seen, but for now, she is making the most of her moment in the spotlight without compromising her values. For now, she stands as an example of someone choosing authenticity over easy money.
