Everybody on the internet knows Hailey Welch as the "Hawk Tuah girl." Her popularity began when she was interviewed on the street for a TikTok video, which blew up and made her world-famous. Ever since her newfound fame, Hailey Welch has monetized her famous catchphrase by selling Hawk Tuah merchandise. She also started a podcast called Talk Tuah and introduced a cryptocurrency called the $HAWK token.
Not all has gone well for the Hawk Tuah girl. Back in December 2024, her meme coin faced some backlash after it reached a market capitalization of almost $500 million before coming down to $25 million. Legal authorities were involved in the matter, and Welch has announced that she will be cooperating and assisting the parties that are involved.
Since then, Hawk Tuah girl has been quiet on the internet. The last post she shared on her Instagram was from December 2, 2024, with the caption, "Me and yam yam had a hell of a weekend🍂". During her hiatus, netizens were wondering where Hailey Welch had disappeared. Numerous speculations came out, some thought Welch had passed away, while others wondered if she was not posting because she was pregnant.
However, a few hours ago, Welch shut all rumors down with her hilarious comeback video on Instagram. She simply captioned it, "What'd I miss?" While many loved Hawk Tuah girl, a lot of netizens were not pleased or bothered about her comeback. One user wrote,
"When she gonna quit on this thang" - @jonahbanks commented.
