Hawk Tuah Girl Reveals Why She Refuses To Thank The Creator Who Made Her Famous

Just when you thought the Hawk Tuah girl had faded from the spotlight, she’s back with a headline-making revelation.

Haliey Welch, better known as the “Hawk Tuah” or “spit on that thang” girl, rose to viral fame earlier this year when a video of her describing a particular bedroom move sent the internet into a frenzy in June.

With an impressive net worth of $200,000, as reported by Celebrity Net Worth, and a strong following across social media, Welch has made a name for herself. However, rather than expressing gratitude to the creators of the viral video that catapulted her to fame, there’s talk she might even take legal action against them.

Rumors began circulating that Welch was planning to sue Tim Dickerson and DeArius Marlow—better known as Tim & Dee TV—who created the original viral clip. Twitter account DramaAlert even claimed that the creators themselves had confirmed the legal battle was on the horizon.

In response, Welch took to her own social media to debunk the claims in her own unique style. She posted a humorous image from Legally Blonde, replacing Reese Witherspoon’s face with her own in the famous courtroom scene.

The caption of the post simply read: "Fake news."

While Welch may not be taking legal action against the creators, it’s clear there’s no love lost between them.

She has openly stated that she has no intention of thanking them, despite their role in her meteoric rise to fame.

Speaking on The Bobby Bones Show, Welch discussed the video that brought her into the public eye.

She revealed that she hasn’t earned any money directly from the video, as it remains the intellectual property of Tim & Dee TV.

When asked whether she had reached out to the creators or expressed her gratitude, she bluntly responded: "Tell him thank you for what?"

When pressed further about the fact that the viral clip was the reason behind her fame, Welch explained: "Well, see, we reached out to him and I asked him to stop posting those videos and he never did. He blocked us all on everything."

She concluded her thoughts by firmly stating: "So I'm not telling him thank you for anything."

Regardless of her stance, Welch’s newfound fame is clearly working in her favor. She recently announced an exciting new business venture that’s set to build on her viral success.

In a video shared on social media, Welch reflected on how much her life has “changed forever” thanks to the viral video.

She teased her followers by saying her time in the spotlight is far from over and that she’s “just getting started.”
