“So she will hawk tuah on the show?” — Fans poke fun as ‘Hawk Tuah’ girl joins Glen Powell’s series Chad Powers

Haliey Welch, famously dubbed the "Hawk Tuah" girl after her colorful street interview went viral in June 2024, is once again making headlines. It seems America’s favorite viral spitter is now headed for the small screen. Miss Haliey Welch is reportedly making a cameo in Glen Powell’s upcoming TV series Chad Powers.

Best known for her now-infamous response in a street interview ("You gotta give 'em that hawk tuah..."), Welch quickly became a meme, a merch mogul, and, briefly, a crypto queen. Now she’s adding “TV actress” to her chaotic resume. Naturally, the news left the internet speechless—but only for a millisecond—before social media did what it does best: roast, react, and recycle memes.

Under one tweet announcing her casting, @BCAmati summed it all up with,

“So she will hawk tuah on the show? Or on his sausage?”

And honestly, the questions demand answers.

Haliey Welch is back, and this time she’s hawk tuah’ing her way into scripted television

The internet has erupted with reactions ranging from skepticism to full-blown disbelief. @dePINDegens deadpanned,

“Surely this is a late April fools joke.”

@doofinc_ chimed in,

“Why are we making her more relevant?”

Some took a darker route, referencing Welch’s past controversies:

“Wait, didn't she scammed a bunch of people and went into the hiding after that? How is she still free? 😭"-@bepopcore

“She acting like we forgot about what she did 😭😭" -@h0rse_mate

Others focused on the surreal nature of her fame:

“All this for saying hawk tuah?”-@Dangitswayne

“Different sort of cheerleaders these days.” - @JaneeMetaX

One post by @Upgradercom, paired with a photo of a man in a suit smiling gleefully, simply read:

“Waiting for her to become fully irrelevant.”

The collective energy? A mix of “this can’t be real” and “well, of course it is.”

Spit happens: The rise and (kind of?) fall of Haliey Welch

Welch first shot to internet stardom in June 2024, when a clip of her describing a move that “drives men crazy” went nuclear online. Her use of “hawk tuah,” complete with sound effects, became instant meme material—spawning TikTok parodies, remix tracks, and a merchandise empire.

Not long after, she launched a podcast (Talk Tuah) and a cryptocurrency dubbed $HAWK, which soared in value before tanking—leading to accusations of scamming, though Welch denied intentional wrongdoing.

After a brief internet disappearance (read: hiding), Welch re-emerged with new ambitions: live comedy, entertainment gigs, and now, acting. Her cameo in Chad Powers will reportedly place her alongside Glen Powell, who’s playing an undercover college football star. No word yet on whether Welch will play a cheerleader, a sideline reporter, or just... herself.

She’s also filed trademarks for “Hawk Tuah” to cover everything from apparel to entertainment, clearly signaling she’s not done milking the meme just yet.
