Who knew that going viral would come with so much drama, as the Hawk Tuah girl reveals that she's been 'blocked on everything' by the creators that made her famous.
Hawk Tuah girl, also known by her real name Haliey Welch, became an overnight sensation following a viral TikTok clip where she was asked to provide 'one move in bed that makes a man go crazy'.
"You gotta give him that hawk tuah and spit on that thing" were the wise words said by Welch, and the rest is now history.
What followed was mass hysteria surrounding the 'unique' phrase she uttered, and it has since been endlessly memed and made into countless pieces of merch too.

Welch has since revealed that she holds no love for the YouTubers that made her famous, as Tim Dickerson and DeArius Marlow, otherwise known as Tim & Dee TV, have 'blocked her on everything'.
When asked, on the Bobby Bones Show, whether she's talked to and thanked the pair for making her famous, Welch responded:
"Tell them thank you for what?"
While it initially seems like Miss Hawk Tuah isn't appreciative of the platform that propelled her into superstardom, she goes on to explain why she doesn't exactly have the fondest feelings for the pair:
"Well, we reached out to them and I asked them to stop posting those videos, and he never did, he blocked us all on everything. So I'm not telling them thank you for anything."
She revealed that her initial plans were to simply just ignore the popularity of the original video and continue on with her normal life, but the repeated attention put on her viral moment made her reconsider what she could make of the moment.
And if there's one thing you can't fault Welch for is taking advantage of her 15 minutes of fame, as she's become quite the internet sensation and has even started her own business ventures.
At the forefront of this is the 'Talk Tuah' podcast that she hosts, which reached a peak of #4 on the US Spotify charts in late September.
She's even drawn the attention of the richest man in the world, stating that Elon Musk has given her personal messages on X.
The self-professed 'queen of memes' has now amassed over 2.5 million followers on Instagram, and has a supposed net worth of around $200,000 according to CelebrityNetWorth.
Not too bad for a single catchphrase, and you could argue that she's certainly got the last laugh in her battle against Tim & Dee TV.
