Hawk Tuah’s girl is doing her best to turn 15 minutes of fame into at least an hour.
And, to be honest… so far, so good, we have to say.
For those who don’t know, Hawk Tuah’s girl is a 23-year-old girl named Hailey Welch.
It went viral, like, ACTUALLY viral — earlier this summer, while I was being interviewed in Nashville for a popular YouTube show and was asked about a sex move that drives men crazy in bed.
Welch, who had probably had a few drinks, made a very specific sound (think “hawk tuah”) and then said, “You have to spit on that thing!”
The answer caused her friend to burst out laughing along with her.
And it led to Welch being dubbed The Hawk Tuah Girl.
And it also caused her to achieve a certain kind of fame that is only possible in the age of social media… that changed her life forever.

Now, in the meantime, TMZ reports that “renowned showrunners and producers” are reaching out to Welch to determine what type of reality show could be put together that would showcase her unique personality.
This really shouldn’t surprise us.
In the month since Hawk Tuah Girl became an international sensation, Welch appeared onstage with Zach Bryan at his Nashville show and also starred with Shaquille O’Neal at JBJ’s on Broadway.
She recently sat down for an interview on a Barstool podcast hosted by influencer Bri LaPaglia and signed with a talent agency.
Welch also has a lawyer and a PR team at the moment, and manager Jonnie Forster, owner of the Los Angeles-based management company The Penthouse, claims his client has been earning around $25,000 for various types of public meetings and appearances lately.
“Right now, she can make more money holding a can for five minutes than she made in the entire last year,” Forster said.
Welch has her own Hawk Tuah product line and will soon be moving to Los Angeles to pursue opportunities in the entertainment industry.
“The first week I was really embarrassed,” Welch told The Tennessean about the infamous video and her initial reaction to it.
“I didn’t leave my house. I went to work, but that was it. Other than that, I didn’t go anywhere. But I went from feeling ashamed to living in the moment.”
That is sure.
As Welch told LaPaglia during the aforementioned podcast:
“There’s more to come, don’t worry.”
