Haliey Welch, better known as the 'Hawk Tuah' girl, has shared the most disgusting request she has gotten from a fan.
The 21-year-old unexpectedly skyrocketed to viral fame after a video of her candid response about what drives men wild in the bedroom circulated online.
Her hilariously explicit remark, "You gotta' give him that hawk tuah and spit on that thing," quickly captured the internet's attention and garnered over five million views on Tim & Dee TV.
Since her newfound fame, Haliey has experienced both the perks and challenges that come with viral stardom.
On one hand, she's had exciting opportunities like joining Zach Bryan on stage and gaining a significant following, turning her into somewhat of a national figure.
However, the sudden spotlight has also brought about its share of difficulties.
During a recent interview with Australian radio hosts Kyle and Jackie O, Haliey opened up about how her overnight fame has impacted her life.
She spoke about feeling uncomfortable in public due to fears of being recognized and the possibility of unwanted attention or even harm.
"It's really strange, I can't really go in public by myself anymore," she admitted, expressing concerns about her safety as a petite woman.
Reflecting on an unsettling encounter at Walmart where a stranger claimed to know her, Haliey highlighted the surreal nature of being recognized by strangers.
Living with her grandparents in Belfast, Tennessee, she also recounted the awkwardness of explaining the viral phrase 'hawk tuah' to her grandmother, who needed multiple explanations to grasp its meaning.
Haliey previously dismissed rumors that her father was a preacher upset by the video, saying that her parents were actually amused by the whole situation and are aware that she doesn't have a filter when it comes to her humor.
Haliey admitted she was taken aback when people tried to track her down online. She initially didn’t want to be found but decided to come forward when fans began stealing photos from her friends' social media accounts and creating fake pages.
“It’s kind of creepy, seeing your face on another account that don’t belong to you,” Haliey said.
As for the most disgusting request she's received - a $600 offer to spit into a jar, which she considered but ultimately rejected, calling it “revolting.”
Additionally, she's been approached about starting an OnlyFans account and received unusual requests from fans, including inquiries about pictures of her feet.
Despite these challenges, Haliey has found some silver linings in her viral success. She recently announced quitting her job at a spring factory, marking a significant change in her life.
In an Instagram video, she joyfully shared this milestone, humorously noting that despite leaving her job, she'll still indulge in Taco Bell.
