Hawk Tuah girl FINALLY breaks her silence after viral video
The woman who quickly shot to fame after giving an enthusiastic sex tip on TikTok has finally spoken out.
Haliey Welch, 23, also known as the ‘Hawk Tuah’ girl, sat down with Brianna Lapaglia on the Plan Bri Uncut podcast on Monday.
Welch joined Lapaglia, also known as ‘Brianna Chickenfry,’ just two days after she joined her boyfriend Zach Bryan on stage at Nashville’s Nissan Stadium.
When asked what her parents think of her viral crude comment, Welch said they find it comical.
‘They think it’s so funny… they never know what’s gonna come out of my mouth,’ she told Lapaglia.
Welch initially isolated herself in tranquil Tennessee where she lives with her family. Her friends and family built a protective wall around her to shield her from the publicity.
She also revealed some of the strange offers she’s gotten since she was thrusted into the spotlight.
‘So, the guy that does my hats, he got offered $600, like three days ago, for me to spit in a jar and sell it,’ Welch said.
She added: ‘That is revolting! That is just disgusting, is it not?’
Lapaglia quizzed the rising star on who her celebrity crush is in a game called ‘Hawk Tuah or Nah.’
The influencer first asked Welch what she thought of her country singer boyfriend, telling Welch to ‘be careful.’
Welch and Chelsea Bradford, the proud friend that stood next to her in the viral clip, both broke out in laughter before telling Lapaglia: ‘I love you, but hawk tuah.’
The pair went on to show interest in Morgan Wallen, but did not know who Tampa Bay Buccaneers Wide Receiver Antonio Brown was.
They initially didn’t recognize Dave Portnoy, the the owner of Barstool Sports, but after Lapaglia showed them a picture they gave him a ‘Hawk.’
Welch and Bradford were also reluctant when asked about professional boxer and Youtuber Jake Paul, but when asked about former President Donald Trump, they immediately said no.
Although the limelight quickly caught up to Welch, she admitted that she doesn’t want to be known as the Hawk Tuah girl forever.
She explained that when
‘And then it kept going and kept going and then there was the search for you and what like what did you want to do when there was a search was there a part of you that was like I don’t want to be known as the ‘hawk tuah’ girl.
