The international sensation Hawk Tuah girl aka Hailey Welch revealed that she is turning her 15 minutes of fame into a new career in a new Instagram video.

Welch, 21, became famous worldwide after the TikTok video went viral. According to her latest update, Welch is now cashing in after launching her own merchandising company, 16 Minutes LLC, something DailyMail.com earlier reported. 

In the short clip, Welch threatened, in her typical light-hearted manner, all of those who have been trying to make a quick buck out of her fame by mentioning that she has hired a lawyer and manager to look after her interests. The video was accompanied with the hashtag: ‘#Coming4you.

The Tennessee-native mentioned another issue that her fame has created, the constant requests for her to create an OnlyFans page.

Welch spoke about the good things that have happened since she became famous, including be able to perform on stage with Zach Bryan

‘Stop asking me for the link in bio for my OnlyFans. I don’t have an OnlyFans and there will never be an OnlyFans. I just make funny jokes, that’s all I do,’ she continued. 

Another of the bug bears of instant fame, Welch says, is her father, whom she refers to as ‘paw paw,’ and his constant threats to shoot members of the paparazzi who have been camped out in front of her home since the video blew up. 

On a more positive note, Welch said that she is grateful that she was able to get over her stage fright and sing alongside Zach Bryan, mentioning that she cannot ‘sing for s***.’ 

Welch added that thanks to her fame, she has been able to quit her job at the spring factory, a bed spring factory located in Belfast, Tennessee, 60 miles south of Nashville. 

However, she said that she will continue to eat Taco Bell, no matter how famous she becomes. 

A more light-hearted drawback Welch says is having to get dressed up every day and being unable to ‘look like Adam Sandler,’ a reference to the A-list actor’s casual wardrobe choices.  

16 Minutes LLC, based in Nashville, Tennessee, may be a clever wordplay over her attempts to have more than just 15 minutes of fame after her viral interview.

 The name of the new company may also be a nod to her life-changing line – ‘You’ve got to give him that hawk tuah and spit on that thang, you get me?’ – which is comprised of 16 words. 

According to TMZ, Welch and her management team are planning to send cease and desist letters to merchants who are trying to use ‘Hawk Tuah’ on clothing for profit.

The filing, as well as her new company come, as a surprise after she told Brianna Lapaglia on the Plan Bri Uncut podcast that she was hesitant to be ‘Hawk Tuah’ girl forever.

On July 1, she revealed that she has quit her factory job and employed management since the clip of her explaining how to ‘make a man go crazy in bed’ for Tim & Dee TV racked up more than three million views on YouTube after airing June 19. 

Welch had initially isolated herself in rural Tennessee where she lives with her family. Her friends and family built a protective wall around her to shield her from the publicity. 

Since being thrust into the spotlight, she explained she had received ‘revolting’ offers’ from fans who attempted to reach her through the man she has partnered with to offer special ‘Hawk Tuah’ merchandise. 

She told Brianna Lapaglia on the Plan Bri Uncut podcast: ‘So, the guy that does my hats, he got offered $600 three days ago for me to spit in a jar and sell it. That is revolting! That is just disgusting, is it not?’ 

She joined Lapaglia, also known as ‘Brianna Chickenfry,’ just two days after sharing the stage with Lapaglia’s boyfriend Zach Bryan at the Nashville Nissan Stadium.

In the wide-ranging interview, Welch confirmed she had been out drinking that evening but that her comment was intended as a joke and that she ‘didn’t mean anything by it.’

The rising star was then quizzed on who her celebrity crush is in a game called ‘Hawk Tuah or Nah.’  

Welch also debunked rumors about where she and her family worked. The internet initially said that Welch was a schoolteacher that was fired after the video came out, and that her father was a preacher. 

‘I worked in a spring factory, I’m not a school teacher,’ she said. 

‘My father is so far from a preacher, it’s crazy.’ 

She said that after she became famous she quit her job and now plans on traveling across the county and ‘be on a show and be on a bunch of podcasts and everything else in between.’
