We’ve seen it before, many, many times. Someone goes viral by pure happenstance, makes it big, and everyone tries to copy their success.
Haliey Welch, the latest internet sensation on account of her viral “Hawk Tuah” interview, is finding that out right now.
Welch’s popularity has grown exponentially since she coined the term during a random street interview that blew up online. And she’s getting paid handsomely for it.
The “Hawk Tuah” Girl might be here to stay as she’s retained Hollywood agents and is believed to be close to landing her own reality TV show.
She judged a bikini contest during a DAER event at the Hard Rock Casino in Hollywood, Florida, this week and, according to TMZ, made $30 K for the appearance.

“Clearly, Haliey’s still getting accustomed to the whole fame thing, even though the fee she received for her first celeb appearance would bring anyone to happy tears. Sources tell us she got around $30K for the gig,” the outlet reported.
Other Women Want In On The “Hawk Tuah”
Videos have been popping up online, with women trying to outdo Haliey and create a viral moment for themselves since she blew up.

Doesn’t quite have ‘Hawk Tuah’ traction, and X/Twitter didn’t love it.
“Hawk Tuah girl was funny and unplanned this is just weird and gross,” a user wrote.
“Please stop making these clowns famous,” said another.
“Did she just call get her b***hole “toothless”?” a third asked.
“This is just gross,,,” someone remarked.
“This has increased the roaring hate in my heart,” another user wrote.
“No, we’re done. It’s time to stop.” a comment read.
And if you thought that was bad, wait until you see the new “Spit on it” girl, who literally spit on people in her cringeworthy interview. It’s incredibly hard to watch.
A lot of what made “Hawk Tuah” a thing is the fact that it was completely spontaneous. It’s going to be hard recreating such a moment.
Hell, even Haliey would have a hard time.
