Video shows telling sign about viral ‘Hawk Tuah’ girl’s game
The young American woman went viral on social media after she was filmed in an street interview where she mimicked a sex act.
An American woman who went viral for a street interview may be realising her time in the spotlight is up.
Haliey Welch went viral after she used the term “hawk tuah” to describe a sex act, with the internet quickly doing it’s best to learn everything about her.
Soon after, she appeared on Bri LaPaglia’s podcast Life of Bri to talk about how the infamous moment came to be — before joining Ms LaPaglia’s boyfriend, country singer Zach Bryan, on stage.
Her fame only rose from there and she became the girl of the American summer. But, it seems her fame is started to decline after a video began to circulate of her at Rock The South Festival in Alabama last weekend.
Ms Welch was invited on stage in a bid to hype up the crowd before the performer — Warren Zeiders and Jelly Roll — was set to hit the stage.
However, video footage showed Ms Welch shout; “Let’s here for Warren Zeiders and Jelly Roll!”
She then squealed but the audience was unimpressed — with no one matching her energy and screaming back. The hosts then thanked Ms Welch for her time and she left the stage.
People were not kind to Ms Welch in the comment section, with one claiming her “15 minutes [of fame] were up”.
“She was June. This is July. Times up,” one social media user commented.
Another added: “Shows how quick the viral flame can burn out.”
“I just got second hand embarrassment so bad,” one said, while another asked what made people think others still cared about her when the internet got over the assassination attempt on Donald Trump in two days.
Another defended her, saying that she helped out animal shelters and that was a good use of her viral fame.
“Y’all don’t hate her for what y’all made famous,” another said.
There were similar reactions when it was announced that Ms Welch would be at the Calgary Stampede at the Cowboy’s tent earlier this month.
“That is so embarrassing Calgary” and “this is why I stopped going to Stampede” were among some of the comments.
