During the candid chat, she discussed the ups, downs, and downright bizarre experiences that have come her way, including a shocking job offer that has set the internet abuzz.
Hailey Welch shot to fame after a man-on-the-street interview by Tim & Dee TV during Nashville’s CMA Fest. When asked to name a sex move that drives men crazy, Welch responded with, “You gotta give ’em that ‘hawk tuah’ and spit on that thang!” The clip quickly went viral, making Welch an overnight internet star. Her quirky and unfiltered personality resonated with many, leading to widespread attention and various unexpected offers.
Welch’s, newfound fame as ‘Hawk Tuah Girl’ has brought both opportunities and challenges. She revealed that she had quit her job at a spring factory and now has a manager to help navigate her sudden rise to stardom.
Despite the rapid changes, ‘Hawk Tuah Girl’ remains grounded, attributing her viral moment to her outgoing nature, humorously noting,
“I could talk to a brick wall if you really let me.”
‘Hawk Tuah Girl’ and the $300 an Hour Job Offer
In her interview with LaPaglia, ‘Hawk Tuah Girl’ discussed the peculiar offers she’s received, including an astonishing proposal from a Nashville Country Club.
According to Welch, the club offered her a job as a cart girl, promising a staggering $300 per hour. If accepted, Welch would become the highest-paid cart girl in the history of golf. This offer has sparked significant debate online, with many expressing disbelief over the proposed salary.
Welch also recounted another bizarre request:
“The guy that sells my hats, he got offered $600, like three days ago, for me to spit in a jar and sell it — that is revolting!” she said, illustrating the strange and often inappropriate nature of some propositions she’s faced since her video went viral.
Reflecting on her viral fame, ‘Hawk Tuah Girl’ explained how the video’s sudden popularity caught her off guard. She initially saw the clip on her phone at two in the morning before heading to work.
Despite the surprise, she embraced the attention, even though it came with its share of misconceptions. One prevalent rumor she debunked during the podcast was that her father is a preacher.
“My father is so far from a preacher, it’s crazy,” Welch clarified, adding that her parents find the entire situation humorous.
Welch’s viral moment has not only altered her professional life but also opened doors for new ventures. She hinted at future plans involving shows and more podcast appearances, ensuring her fans that there’s more to come.
“I think we’re gonna do like a show, then we’re just gonna be on a bunch of podcasts, and everything else in between,” she teased, indicating a bright and busy future ahead.
The internet’s response to Welch’s viral fame has been a mix of admiration, skepticism, and curiosity. The rumored cart girl offer at $300 per hour has particularly captured public attention.
Many social media users have expressed disbelief, comparing it to the typical earnings of cart girls, which average around $13 per hour. However, Welch’s unique situation and the novelty of her viral moment seem to justify the extraordinary offer in the eyes of some.
Welch has already capitalized on her fame, selling over $65,000 worth of merchandise, including her signature “Hawk Tuah ’24” hats. With a supportive management team and a clear vision for her future, Welch is determined to expand her brand beyond the viral video that started it all.
As Welch navigates her newfound fame, her story continues to intrigue and entertain. Her ability to turn a spontaneous moment into a launchpad for various opportunities showcases the unpredictable nature of internet stardom. Whether she accepts the cart girl position or pursues other ventures, Hailey Welch, the Hawk Tuah Girl, is here to stay, and the world is watching her every move.
