The Hawk Tuah girl will most likely be active on whatever social networking site you like.
Whether you're on Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, or YouTube, you've probably seen a meme, GIF, or short video of her stating "gotta spit on that thang." The 'hawk tuah' refers to the onomatopoeia she used for the spitting movement.
Her good relationship advise came during a risqué street interview with Tim & Dee TV, and one of her comments went viral. What followed was a million memes and a global quest for her identity.
Shortly after becoming an international celebrity, she was identified as Hailey Welch of Nashville, Tennessee.
But it wasn't enough for the persistent netizens, who wanted to learn more about the girl.
And they got exactly that when a tale circulated claiming Hailey was a preschool teacher who was dismissed due to the interview.
The thing with viral sensations is that if you can produce anything convincing about the issue, it may also spread virally.
In this case, a viral post on the Tippah County Tribune's Facebook page stated that the "hawk tuah girl" was Hailey Wellington of Ripley, Mississippi, who had been sacked from her preschool teaching position.
"We have kids spitting on each other and everything else since they heard their beloved Miss Hailey say 'spit on that thang' on YouTube. They really look up to her as a role model and imitate the things that she does."
"We love Hailey but unfortunately we cannot allow this type of behavior from one of our very own faculty members."
The post even received a reaction from 'Hailey', who stated: "What I said during that interview was based on my own personal thoughts. I was giving good advice to those who might want to have a little fun. I have the right to share my life experiences if I choose to do so. It has nothing to do with the kind of teacher I am for my kids. It is outright discrimination and I plan to seek retribution against the preschool."ursue revenge against the preschool."
However, several viewers overlooked the fact that the Tippah County Tribune is a self-proclaimed satirical site, therefore it is undoubtedly false.
We know she's cashing in on her slogan, but not much more.
Hailey has teamed up with Tennessee-based hat business Fathead Threads to sell her own collection of headwear after being discovered by OutKick.
However, learning more about Hailey's background remains tricky.
While a lot fake profiles with versions of her name have arisen on platforms such as Instagram claiming to be her, learning more about the actual Hailey is still ongoing.
