9 Viewers Left: The Rise and Fall of Hawk Tuah Girl
1710 segments
On June 9th, 2024, in front of the Old
Bar on Broadway Street in Nashville,
Tennessee, are YouTubers Tim and D, a
pair of street interviewers who target
inebraided women to extract salicious
answers from their equally indelicate
questions. Across the street was one
such woman, a 20-year-old small town
factory worker that was in Nashville for
a music festival. Though her friend
takes over the interview as the factory
worker walks off, though she returns
shortly and delivers an answer. Oh, you
got to give him that hawk too and spit
on that night. You get me?
>> 3 weeks later, this factory worker would
be mingling with an expanding roster of
celebrities. 6 months later, she would
launch a cryptocoin that failed not even
30 minutes after launch. And over a year
later, alongside frequently paying mind
to her detractors, she would be
streaming Fortnite to nine viewers and
evidently selling photos of her feed on
her fan fix. While it may seem
unrealistic compared to where she is
now, there was a small window of time
where she was viewed as the all-American
woman, someone honest and industrious,
and she appeared to embody these ideals
partly because she was not seeking fame.
She was actively hiding from it. But
first, I'd like to thank Chime for
sponsoring this video. Traditional banks
cost a lot to operate because of their
physical branches, the staff needed to
operate them, and everything in between.
Customers pay for those fees by being
subjected to a low APY. Chime is digital
first, so they can pass on those savings
and benefits to their members. Benefits
like a 3.00 APY and up to a $350 bonus
with qualifying direct deposits. That
savings rate is seven times higher than
the national average savings rate of
0.40 APY. To put it into perspective,
earning 3.00 APY on $6,000 is about $180
in a year. At 0.40 APY, you would only
earn about $24 in the same amount of
time. With Chime, you can also automate
a percentage or a fixed dollar amount
from every paycheck right into savings.
So, your money is working for you while
it's in your savings account, but always
accessible when you really need it. Best
of all, in my opinion, is that Chime has
no monthly fees or minimum balance
requirements. If you want to get up to a
$350 bonus and start earning up to 3.00
00 AP1 your savings. Go to the top link
in my description box or scan the QR
code on screen. Just set up qualifying
direct deposits to unlock the full
bonus. And you can even get your
paycheck up to 2 days early. Sponsor
over. Back to the video. As the video
was posted on June 10th and immediately
hit the algorithm, the reach of the
video was so great that it almost
immediately seeped into the small town
of Belfast, Tennessee. In this community
of under 1,000 people, several took note
of the video and recognized a girl who
was enthusiastically giving advice of a
sexual nature. The first to notify her
were her friends. This information is
not so surprising considering at least
one of her friends was present during
the interview and thus knew to look out
for the video. Alarmingly, every time
she revisited the video, it would only
grow far beyond her wildest
expectations. It was only when she
arrived at work at the Spring Factory
and where she was in charge of packaging
orders that she knew her life would
never be the same. Her co-workers knew
before she did as they had also seen the
video and made her well aware of that
fact. Her close circle of friends, her
co-workers, and the rest of the world
were discussing what otherwise would be
an off-hand comment. As the video grew
in popularity and jumped across various
platforms and posts, it was firmly
dubbed Hogua and Anamanapia. Separately
regarded was the Hawkua girl. Though her
friend had clearly said her name in the
original video.
>> Amen. Hey,
>> the internet at large was only exposed
to the sound bite of Haktua and not the
extended clip. Yet, there was interest
in the mystery as to who this girl was.
Through the video alone, one could infer
that she's possibly from Tennessee and
her first name is Haley. Yet, several
days had passed and Haley had not taken
ownership of it as expected. There was a
bizarre and real desire to find Haley
the Hawktua girl. A painting was made to
commemorate her and across all social
media she was virtually only celebrated
for her faux [music] paw. As a counter
to the divisive nature of social media
as to only aid in the search, YouTubers
Tim and D around the 16th in the absence
of Haley's social media posted her and
her friends full first and last [music]
names, effectively doxing the pair.
Haley had been hiding, leaving her house
only for the bare essentials out of fear
and embarrassment. Though it was
becoming increasingly clear that this
was not viable. In her absence, as would
be even in her presence, opportunistic
individuals pretending to be her and
monetizing her meme. Some going as far
as to launch shitcoins. Finally, on the
19th, a new post of Haley was making the
rounds. In the absence of her own social
media account was a picture posted on
Facebook of a local hand manufacturing
company. It was only 2 days later that
this was also posted [music] on
Facebook. Quote, Epstein Day School
Director Carla Reed released a statement
to us earlier today in regards to
Wellington's dismissal from the esteemed
educational conglomerate. We have kids
spitting on each other and everything
else since they heard our beloved Miss
Haley say spit on that thing on YouTube.
[music]
If not through the story alone, the
humor tag or the Facebook account
description would quickly reveal this
was a satirical and fake [music] story.
But it did not appear as such to
everyone.
>> And she lost her preschool teaching job.
Yo, justice for Hawk to a girl. Like
honestly, be so for real.
>> The Hawk to a girl's life just got
ruined.
>> The hawk to a girl just got arrested and
fired from her job. Occurred last week
in a net Asheville TN Epstein day
school. This story would balloon and
would be retold with new details that
she was arrested or was fundraising
money after her firing. Though these
elements were not true, what was as
reported by Rolling Stone is that
through her collaboration with the local
hat manufacturing company, Haley had
sold $65,000 worth of merch. This news
broke just 17 days after the initial
viral video was posted. Though
reluctant, there was now proven
financial gain to be the hawk to a girl.
Thus, Haley Walsh was coming out of
hiding to embrace her new role. It is
then that there was a new wave of
attention and things moving at an insane
pace. This begins on June 28th with the
formation of her LLC 16 minutes, a nod
to the notion of the 15 minutes of fame,
the instant celebrity or the one-hit
wonder that is unable to replicate their
lightning in a bottom moment. Meaning
Haley was meaning to stick around long
term. While this was a confident step
forward, the internet at large nor her
management team knew what else she had
to offer. Even so, the time to utilize
her fame [music] was theoretically
fleeting. So, just one day after forming
60 Minutes of Fame, she was on stage at
a Zack Bryan concert where she screamed
her famous line. [music]
At the event, Haley was also interviewed
by Zack Bryan's at the time girlfriend
who asked her, "What's next?
>> What do you do now? Because now you have
management, now you have a team. What
are your plans moving forward? Like do
you want to still be the hook to a girl
or do you want to like
>> I don't really want that to be like my
image.
>> Yeah,
>> like h to a girl.
>> Haley was well aware she needed to find
what this next thing was less she waste
her 15 minutes of fame. This was common
advice in future interviews.
>> And that's why it's important also to
figure out your next step.
>> I think you should do standup. And I
think we need to like figure out what
you want to talk about.
>> Okay.
>> Either you got to reinvent or bring
something that people didn't know about
you or have another viral moment, which
is probably not very probable.
>> Yeah, it's very slim.
>> The reality was that there was no plan
to extend her status beyond placing her
personality forward. Haley was an
incurious and extremely average
individual. She has no unique talents or
standout aspects about her. Yet, this
was in a way working to her benefit in
cementing her story. The one of a more
grounded and simpler southern girl as a
contrast to sensationalist celebrity
culture. This had something as even her
tamest answers would bring forward a
conversation.
>> It's called huck to or not. And you tell
me if you want a hook to on that thing
or no.
>> Okay. Uh Donald Trump.
>> No. Absolutely not. [laughter]
>> No.
>> Uh-uh. Uh-uh. It's a no for me.
>> No.
>> Mrs. Hawk Tua of viral internet fame
just shared her true thoughts about
Donald Trump in her first ever
interview. During a game segment on the
plan Brie Uncut podcast, Mrs. Hawk, real
name Haley Welsh, came out against
Donald Trump, sharing her disgust about
the convicted former president. Will
Mrs. Hawk's rejection of Donald Trump be
a deciding factor in the election? Some
comments on this post read, quote, "All
out of fear from the liberal freaks.
Trump is your president. I'm older,"
unquote.
>> So, because she said that she wouldn't
gargle his [ __ ] meat, they thought
that this was like an unforgivable sin.
There were tweets going on about how
disappointed they were that the Hakua
girl turned out to be a wokey and [ __ ]
like that. There was something special
with Haley that could stir the pot. In a
strange way, this highly average
individual [music] could bring out
polarizing or rational beliefs such as
this Reddit post where the creator
appears to an earnest believe that
people want her as president. Posts like
this and the controversy about not
wanting to give theoretical fellatio to
the president brought her support as he
countered to what appeared as undeserved
hate. Though there was the element of
being overexposed. In just the first 10
days of July, she was still in the
public eye for meeting celebrities such
as Shaq, revealing who her management
team was, trademarking her phrase,
launching her official merch store that
also had to sign up for a newsletter,
and judging a bikini contest and where
she broke down in tears of joy. Despite
the continued opposition still likely
sourced from her overexposure, she was
continuing to utilize her fame. In doing
so, she was praised for her resilience
and industrial nature. She was the
all-American woman. The Rolling Stone
went as far as to call her the national
hero we need. Quote, "A charming Gen Z
Dolly Pardon who's rightfully becoming
America's sweetheart."
Though this description of Haley was
exaggerative, this was an appeal to her
resilience and care. On her Tik Tok, on
multiple occasions, she published videos
in where she donated a cart full of
supplies to animal shelters. Comments on
this Tik [music] Tok read, quote, "We
made the right person famous. Her media
team is so smart. This is actually the
sweetest."
This was an excellent direction for her
to take. The story of Haley Welch was
one of hope and care for the underdog.
[music]
>> How's your mom? [laughter]
>> How's your mom?
>> My mama a crackhead. You don't want her?
[laughter]
>> So, she doesn't have any teeth. You're
saying,
>> "No, I'm so serious. You don't want
her."
>> There were two leading narratives at
this point. Haley Walsh is a woman who
was thrust into endless turmoil,
beginning [music] from her drugaddicted
mom to even the fame that she never
asked for. Despite it all, she is a
kind-hearted individual who makes the
best out of impossible odds and is
someone worthy of her fame. Conversely,
was the narrative that her stardom was
emblematic of social media stupidity. A
vapid comment brought to light an even
less interesting individual. The truth
was Haley was not industrious or honest.
She was a puppet instructed to sell her
life story. One that's good well came
from tactical decisions as to use it to
leverage her brand to draw her audience
to increasingly terrible and predatory
products. During an interview with
celebrity Howie Mandel, Haley's manager
sells this exact story while pretending
to be acting in her best interest.
What's your name?
>> Johnny.
>> Hi Johnny. Are you her manager now?
>> Yes, sir.
>> Fantastic. Can I just say to Johnny, can
we see Johnny?
>> We haven't done anything besides let her
tell her story. And anyone around the
world would look at this and see this
girl hit the lottery with the exposure.
But she lives with her grandma. She
worked in a spring factory. She didn't
want she wasn't on social media. She's
the only person right now making people
laugh around the world. And it's
everywhere
>> and it's authentic and and nice and
real. And
>> you're like the Scooter Braraw of Hakua.
>> It's all her. It's nothing. This is all
her. But you'll direct her in the right
direction because it could go sideways
and this is a scary business and there's
a lot of people and
>> hopefully you steer her always in the
right direction.
>> We are here to protect the hawk from the
vultures.
>> On screen are two signatures. The one on
the right is a signature from Haley's
manager. The one on the left is from
Alexander Schultz, Howie Mandel's
son-in-law. He is a direct opposite of
the ideals of Haley Welsh. This is him
on Twitter under the alias Doc Hollywood
giving a quote unquote meme class to an
unenthusiastic Haley with a massive
Bitcoin logo in the background. His
profile is an NFT of a marijuana bud
sporting Bitcoin themed apparel and a
massive chain with a lightning bolt.
This was from the NFT line Bitcoin Buds.
Though they're virtually valueless, Alex
did perhaps indirectly utilize his
father-in-law and his own wife to
[music] promote the line by providing
them with an NFT. The top comments of
these Twitter posts are littered with
other unsavory NFTTS of the same line.
Actions done likely to inflate the
importance and therefore theoretical
value of otherwise soulless art. This
means that Haley had a manager who was a
wolf in sheep's clothing. A manager that
just signed a contract with the human
equivalent of branding and career
poison. A contract for Hawcoin, a
shitcoin that was set to launch later in
the year. Upon Haley's manager signing
the contract, she received $125,000
upfront. There was an additional
$200,000 if she promoted the coin
sufficiently before and after its
launch. And she was also meant to take
50% of all the profit from the coin. She
could later be seen on Twitter promoting
crypto. Except none of it came naturally
from her. She was instructed exactly on
what to say and when to say it. She did
not even control her own Twitter. I
don't think you were actually running
your Twitter page, correct?
>> Yeah, that's right.
>> Yeah. [laughter] Yeah. We I I would
interact with and I would DM the person
and I would they'd be they [music] like
pretend to be you and I could tell it
wasn't you. I was like there's no way.
>> I mean
>> I [laughter] was like there's no way
>> you can tell if I'm running an account
or if I'm not.
>> Yeah. I think it's awesome that like
looking back that you hadn't seen the
Twitter at all cuz there was there was
so much going on there that I was like
what is h like I remember specifically
early on there was like this AI
generated like meme of yours in like
July and I was like there is no way that
she tweeted that like that that does not
make sense. [music]
>> This is possibly the AI generated image
that was posted. Haley's management
alongside milking her fame had the goal
to extend it as long as possible. To do
this, it would help if she was able to
establish an identity outside of Hog
Tua. This is a graph of the search
trends of Cash Me Outside and Bad Baby.
The red line represents the origins of a
meme that quickly died off only for the
girl behind it to maintain public
interest outside of the meme. This is
what it means to push past the 15
minutes of fame. However, Haley's team
was not as big or as well put together.
This is her graph between her meme and
her preferred alias which is also her
real name. Her meme far overpowers her
own staying power. Even the search term
Hawk to a girl is far more searched than
Haley. Yet there needs to be not only
something new but also a vehicle to
sustain engagement. That of which
Twitter nor Tik Tok could do. Or even
now Fanfix, [music] a website that
allows users to unlock images at a set
price.
>> But you did start a paid wall platform.
>> Oh, what?
>> A paid wall platform. What is that?
>> Like basically it's like a paid wall
platform is something that someone pays
money to monthly.
>> Oh, a fan fix. Fanix.
>> Yeah. So, we're going to do mine
different. Like it's going to be like
relationship advice and just
conversations. None of that. Which give
or take. I might have an outfit on or
something like that, but I ain't going
to be naked on there.
>> With the launch of this platform, it
appears that Haley's management were
trying to sell her identity in a new
way. Rather than the all-American girl,
she was attempting to be sold as a
dating guru. Her audience was mainly
composed of men between the ages of 25
to 44. Men of this age took on more
interest in her than even men or women
of her own age. So, the fanfix and the
dating angle appears to be taking
advantage of this metric. To this, it
was rumored that Haley was going to have
her own reality show. Though even if it
was in the works, the data behind her
decreasing popularity would have lost
confidence in any network. A safe bet
considering that in August, interest in
her had dwindled. It was this month that
Haley launched Paws across America, a
fund meant to provide financial
assistance to [music] animal charities.
In terms of interest in Haley, this only
aided her reputation [music] as interest
in her continued to slump. With the
reality show unfeasible, there was still
a chance with its [music] low-budget
cousin, the podcast.
>> She's literally doing anything to stay.
>> Does anyone actually give a [ __ ] about
her?
>> Why are we keeping this girl relevant?
Your 15 minutes are up.
>> Your joke was funny for 2 days. Stop.
>> Y'all really thought I was done? I'm
just getting started, baby.
>> This was posted on the channel Talk to
Haley Welch, [music] a podcast produced
in partnership with Better, a sports
betting app co-founded by Jake Paul.
Naturally, this podcast would also
include Haley selling the app. A later
interview would reveal Jake Paul's
degree of confidence in this podcast,
pointing to its lack in value. [music]
>> Thank you for coming on my cringey
podcast.
>> Hey, I I don't think it's cringey. I
really like where you guys are going
with the science and the history of
civilization and just being able to
explore and break down barriers of human
philosophy.
>> I still don't even know what philosophy
means. [laughter]
You're not helping your case.
>> Yeah, I'm really not.
>> It's okay.
>> Right. Right. Right. Well, it's amazing
to be here. Thank you.
>> Well, of course. Thank you for coming
on.
>> Yeah. I think we had to delete the last
one, right, that we did.
>> I'm sure it still exists somewhere.
>> I was as drunk as a skunk.
>> Yeah, you walked off of it. It's okay.
>> I didn't walk off. Did I walk off? I
>> You actually kicked the microphone over
and said, "Fuck this podcast."
[laughter]
>> I feel like I should get up and do that
sometimes. Jake was not the only guest
to make fun of the podcast on it. And
>> I also saw it was like a collage, I
guess, or like a slideshow, whatever you
want to call it, but um it had like a
million likes and it was like a picture
of me and you and it slowly faded into
like Plato and Socrates, I believe. And
it was like pretty much calling us the
next Plato and Socrates. So,
>> what the [ __ ] does that mean?
>> We're like philosophers essentially. Do
you know who they are?
>> No.
>> All right.
>> What is that? [laughter] I have I'm not
even going to lie. I have no idea what
he's talking about either.
>> Wow. Maybe you guys should listen to
some of the philosophers and then you
guys would come with some more in-depth
stuff for talk to.
>> Wait, you mean a philosopher like
Shakespeare?
>> Well,
[laughter]
Shakespeare was something more of like,
you know, a play like he would write
plays.
>> So, we were talking about like our
vapes. She was like, "We don't have like
vapes here with like flavors in them."
And I was like, "Why not?" She was like,
"Oh, the prime minister doesn't allow."
And I was like, "Prime Minister?" I was
like, "What the [ __ ] are you talking
about?" Yeah.
>> I thought y'all had presidents there.
I'm
>> No. No, we don't. We don't.
>> I don't get out much if you can't tell.
>> We also have provinces instead of
states,
>> man. Just like Plato and Socrates.
>> Me and you.
>> You're going to have to sit down and
educate me some more sometime.
>> Ah, yeah. Yeah. Someone needs to.
>> In no exaggeration, every episode of the
Talk to a [music] podcast would be
littered with comments not engaging with
the episodes. Rather, there were
comments overstating the [music] podcast
importance with users citing how they
would unplug loved ones life support to
view the podcast [music] or were
skipping their wedding and were dropping
out of college purely to binge it. The
first episode of the podcast sits at 2.8
million views. Yet, no episode would
ever again surpass a million views and
as continued to be the case with her
popularity, views trended downward.
Lesser known at the time was this video
by Tim and D. The YouTubers partly
responsible for her initial popularity.
In November, they uploaded this video
exposing their feud with Haley that
stems from her lies.
>> You're going to come up to me with a
microphone and ask me something like
that. Oh, well, I'm going to hawk to and
spit on it, you know. [laughter]
>> I don't mean nothing by it.
>> Yeah, you were like actually being
serious. Was there more of the
>> We going to come up to her?
>> We came up to her. I don't I don't think
that's how that happened.
>> Haley was indeed lying in this moment.
Her friend even contradicts her in her
own podcast.
>> We're just walking and we see like two
dudes, you know, with like a big
flashlight and a camera. And I was like,
"Haley, a camera." And we would go over
there and I was like, "Are y'all
vlogging?" And they was like, "No, we do
YouTube." We're like, "Oh, okay." I was
like, "Do you'all mind if we ask y'all a
few questions?" We were like,
>> "Never once told us what the questions
were."
>> Those were the last questions I was
expecting to hear.
>> This comment establishes several things.
They approached Tim and D. They claimed
they did not know the questions would be
that intense and they state they knew
that they were being recorded to be
posted on social media. Henley would lie
or otherwise contradict herself in every
one of these statements. I
>> think he posted the full video on
YouTube this past Sunday, but he only
told us he was a YouTuber. He had never
said anything like about, you know,
Instagram, Tik Tok, nothing of the sort.
So, I was like, "Oh, well, I'm never
going to see this again." Sure enough, I
seen it again. While it was true that
they introduce themselves as YouTubers,
Tim and D also alleged that they
informed Haley of their other platforms
as well as show that her friend demanded
they post the famous Hawk to a clip.
>> Tell we tell them it's Instagram,
YouTube, Tik Tok, all that. That's
exactly what we say. I mean,
>> for every platform, if it's going on
YouTube, wouldn't you expect it to go on
every other platform? It's going on
social media.
>> You say we better post that?
>> Yes.
>> Okay.
>> Post it through.
>> All right. While Tim and D are
indelicate with their questions, as is
inherent with their content style,
[music]
it was again Haley's friend that
demanded they ask a salacious question
after being asked a relatively tame one
and even brought Haley over to answer
this question.
>> Do you know what makes you wifey
material?
>> Me wifey?
>> Yeah.
>> Everything. Come on. You got to get a
spicy one.
>> You want a spicy one?
>> Yeah.
>> What's one What's one move in bed that
make a man go crazy every time?
>> One what? This is for her.
>> What?
You know how to answer this. You got it.
>> What's one move in bed that makes a man
go crazy every time?
>> Oh, you got to give him that hawk, too,
and spit on that thing. You get me?
>> To recap, Haley and her friend
approached Tim and D. They were informed
that this was to be posted on social
media. Her friend asked for a salacious
question, handed it off to Haley, and
demanded the hawk to a clip be posted.
These are only a few points of Tim and
D's longer 41-minute video on the topic
where they also discuss the rocky
communication between them and Haley.
Meaning Haley was not the most honest
person even outside the direction of her
management who was nearly ready to
launch the shitcoin at a separate
product known as Pooky Tools. In
essence, it is AI repackaged and limited
to disseminate dating advice. When Steo,
who was interviewing Haley, correctly
deduced it's a repackaged form of chat
GBT, Haley's manager offscreen counters
by claiming it has hundreds of functions
for dating.
>> That sounds like the app simply has to
be linked up to chat GBT.
>> Yeah,
>> AI.
>> Hundreds of functions for dating she's
been introduced. After browsing the
features, it became very clear that the
Pooky app aims to create long-lasting
relationships based on genuine
connection and non-supficial factors
like there's a height detector and bald
predictor. What is this? And also this
one called Wealth Detective that helps
you find out if your date is rich by
asking hard-hitting questions like,
"Well, does it seem like they are?"
>> Pooky Tools currently sits at 3.2 stars
on the Apple App Store. It is almost
nearly split between one and five-star
reviews. Though the majority of
five-star reviews, as per their
commentary, are written ironically. With
Haley's presence floundering and her
image deteriorating, there was one last
thing left to do to destroy both. In
episode 12 of the Talk to a podcast
released late November, Haley talks to
famous entrepreneur Mark Cuban. At the
start of the episode, he gives her the
sage advice to sell products that
directly relate to her and her brand.
perhaps a simple product like bourbon or
whiskey, only for her later in the
episode to figuratively spit on this
advice by obligatorily pushing her
upcoming meme coin. A product that she
admits she does not comprehend to the
point that she is even struggling with
her wallet. you're authentic and that's
you want to find things that you like
and products that you love and you like
or that you want something that you
think you need that um people that you
know would relate to because then it's
easy for you to sell it. You know, hey,
I came up with this. It's because I
needed it and I love it and I'm sharing
it with you not because I'm trying to,
you know, sell zillions of them. I hope
I do, but because if I need it, there's
a good chance that all the people who
follow me here need it.
>> They might need it. Yeah. So, when you
get along those lines, then then you
start finding things that really work.
>> Oh, yeah. If I launch a meme coin, can I
give you some tokens?
>> Yeah, I'll give you my wallet. I'll give
you my wallet. Okay.
>> But are you sure you're going to launch?
I don't know. I'm not a big fan about
meme coins. I love crypto, but but you
can make some money from it. There's no
doubt about it. No doubt about it.
>> I'm very new to it and I'm still
learning what it is. The Phantom Wallet.
Do you know what that is?
>> Of course.
>> So, evidently it gives you a 12word
password. Right.
>> Right. Your seat face. Yeah. Well, me
and him, I had to have him help me put
it on my phone. I didn't know what I was
doing.
>> And you didn't write it down?
>> No.
>> You're [ __ ]
>> What this demonstrates is Haley's
incompetence and lack of intuition.
Every step of the way, there has been a
series of red flags warning her that
nearly everyone in her management team
and those working to forward the
shitcoin are working solely in their
self-interest. Doc Hollywood is someone
who has no record of success. In the
early 2010s, he attempted to become a DJ
and release music that is the accidental
parody of the Hollywood stereotype. His
only claim to fame is marrying into it.
Furthermore, he is pushing a form of
crypto infamously known for being
inherently valueless, something he has
done in the past. He has shown himself
to have no taste nor reason and is
willing to utilize the fame of those
around him to their detriment. Haley's
manager is also the same with him
pushing equally valueless and needlessly
complex products like pooky tools that
failed miserably. These are entirely
manufactured individuals that siphon
wealth and are of the sort that will
only place their own interests first. It
is catastrophic to mix the brand of the
small town girl with new age
technologies and their complexities such
as AI or crypto. The dissonance between
the two is so profound, it is astounding
that Haley went along with it, despite
her intuition screaming at her
otherwise. Yet, there is a reason. And
the reason, as revealed in a feature
interview, was money for paws across
America.
>> The way it worked, they're like, "Okay,
how it got explained to me, they're
like, "This is like really good. Like,
everybody's going to get a cut of it.
Like, whatever we raise out of it." And
they're like, "Chelsea, like you're
going to get this cut and then Haley,
we're going to take your cut and we're
going to donate it." And I was like,
"That's fine." Like, let's do that. for
like animal shelters. I have a charity,
Paws Across America and we're going to
take that and then we're going to use it
to go in there and fund everything. Like
if we're going to a shelter, we can
donate to them here, there, everywhere.
Yeah. So,
>> and they also made it out like it was
like a really good idea to like get my
followers engaged with it, too. Like the
idea that we talked about was like, oh,
one month if you go and you adopt a pet
from an animal shelter, you get so many
coins. But of course, I don't run that.
I'm too much of a dumbass to run
anything like that. So, [laughter]
but that was it. It it was made out to
be like a good thing. So, I was like,
"Okay." Which at first I was like, "No,
I don't want to do that. I've never
heard anything good about that. Bitcoin
or anything on the stock market. I don't
know. I'm a girl. I don't know nothing
about that shit."
>> With Haley's cut marked for her charity.
And with the $125,000 up front she got
presumably already donated, the launch
date of the shitcoin inch closer. The
crux of this coin was to utilize Haley's
ignorant audience to buy into the coin.
Over here, the developer and the launch
pad of the coin was stating as much.
Quote, "Why Hawk is special. This isn't
just another token launch. Haley's
launch of the Hawk memecoin represents a
meaningful step in bridging mainstream
audiences with the crypto world.
Transparency first. Hawk's focus on
inclusivity for non-crypto fans sets a
new standard for memecoin launches,
leading the charge for transparent
communitydriven projects." unquote.
Haley on Twitter, or rather the person
behind her account, continued to
virtually only promote crypto. Then came
December 4th, launch day. Just the day
prior, Haley released an episode titled
How to Avoid Getting Canled. This, like
her coin, would not age well. For the
first 20 minutes or so, the coin went up
significantly in value, then immediately
plummeted, leaving anyone that bought
into the coin after the first few
minutes of its launch at a loss. The
true tragedy came in the Twitter space
following the failure of the coin.
Haley, the girl toaded for genuineess,
would be reading from a script prepared
by human exemplars of the inhuman.
Individuals [music] that are
incompetent, yet will still find those
that they could fool with their facade.
These individuals would, to the best of
their ability, attempt to sway public
opinion with their commentary about
memes and wanting to do good. While this
confirmed to many that the product was a
failure from its inception, it also
provided listeners with the confused yet
entertaining diet tribes of dog
Hollywood.
>> Yo, Haley, they try to [ __ ] us. It's all
good. It's all good. Let them know
you're here to [ __ ] You're not You're
not here to get sniper botted all day.
You're not here to get [ __ ] We're
here to have some fun. We're here to
meme. And most of those coins, by the
way, are going to your community for
free. Nobody on the team is selling.
Impossible. Impossibly. Okay. I don't
know what language anybody [ __ ] here
speaks, but everyone just is so jaded.
Everyone thinks that, oh, everything's a
rug. Everything's a rug. Everyone's here
to [ __ ] you. Nah, we're here to onboard
real people outside of this spaces,
right? The people here, you you guys are
already [ __ ] Y'all are [ __ ] [ __ ]
in the head. [ __ ] every day thinking
everything's a scam. And And you know
what? You guys were right. Everything is
a scam. But not this. Not this. We did
not spend six, seven months of our lives
dedicated to trying to do something
cool, right? To do something different,
not dumping on you, not bundle snipes.
These meme coins, these are just here
for fun, right? Whatever you assign
value to it, whatever. Right. What we're
doing here is not giving a [ __ ] about
all the same [ __ ] I've been a
holder of a lot of these meme coins. The
reason why they're cool is because
there's zero promises. It's just a
community. And that's exactly what we're
trying to build here. We're trying to
build a community. You only need one
token to be in this community. And
listen, most of you, we don't want you
in the community. Let's be real, right?
You're not great people. I don't know
y'all, right? Some of I see some
friendly faces in this audience. Some
people I like here. Yeah. Love to have
you. No pressure. I don't care what
anybody says. She has really great
intentions. [music] And this is not a
celebrity token. This is an actual meme
that has I don't know 100 billion
[ __ ] impressions on all the different
platforms that like normal people. If
you walk down the [music] street, I'm in
I'm in Hollywood right now, right? Guess
what? You walk down the street, you ask
10 people, do you know what Hakua is?
Right? Nine out of 10 people will
[ __ ] know what that is. If you want
to be part of this meme community, dope.
If not, if you want to just, you know,
you got I'm gonna say y'all, you guys,
right? There's a lot of negativity in
the space. I think crypto brings the
[music] mentally ill into this thing,
right? Most if you guys are in crypto,
you're most likely mentally ill. And I'm
going to I'm going to count myself as
mentally [music] ill for even being here
right now, right? I'm definitely
mentally ill. We're trying to actually
have fun. I'm trying to do something
cool. We're trying [music] to give meme
tokens away for free to people who have
never had any crypto before, any meme
token. And you guys should be kissing my
[music] [ __ ] ass because I'm trying
to do something dope and give meme
tokens to people, [music] right? That
have never ever ever had ever had meme
coins before. Because maybe when we
onboard tens of thousands, hundred
thousands when we [music] talk about
this [ __ ] on national television, right?
Maybe they might [music] be interested
in these other memes and these other
NFTts that are in [music] this community
because if you like Hua, you might like
Dog with Hat. If you like Hua, right,
you [music] might you might like Mog.
You might like, you might like all these
other memes that are amazing. Over here,
which is a this is their first launch,
right? [music] Um, this is really cool
what they're doing. I'm going to pass it
off to over here. And I [music] think
like what we're doing here, this is day
one. Yeah, it was a rough day. Yeah, we
got sniped to [ __ ] but guess what?
Moving forward, you know, over here and
and we have a lot of fun stuff and fun
stuff [music] planned. And this is the
beginning. So, uh over here, take it
from here.
>> Uh thanks, Doc. Um hey guys, like I
think um yeah, uh Doc may be a little
bit um exub over exuberant.
>> Doc Hollywood spoke in the space for 11
minutes uninterrupted. He then passes it
on to over here, though more coherent.
Over here discusses his and to that
extent the team behind the coin's vision
for it and how they plan to integrate
Haley's audience. After around 10
minutes of speaking, Coffeezilla, a
critter known for investigating
cryptoreated schemes, chimes in.
>> We're really happy to answer any
questions.
>> I have questions. I I have questions.
I'm raising my hand. Hey guys,
>> what Coffeezilla?
>> Hey, this is one of the most miserable,
horrible launches I've ever seen in my
life.
>> Okay, then why the [ __ ] are you on?
>> I've been tracing it on chain for a
while. You guys generated over a million
dollars in fees while y'all's fans got
rugpulled. There was snipers, but there
was also insider trading directly linked
to y'all's creator account. What are you
guys doing?
>> No, no, no. That's That's [snorts] not
true. That's not true.
>> That is true. That's a fact.
>> It's not.
>> Well, it's a fact and you can see it on
chain.
>> In simple terms, before the launch of
the token, they pre-sold an overwhelming
majority of the tokens. These investors
came in at an immediate advantage.
Naturally, as the token launched and
experienced crypto users immediately
bought a high volume of tokens that were
available to the public, the prices went
up as regular users purchased the coin.
Though they had almost immediately lost
their money as those who had purchased
it early were already selling mass.
Coffeezilla, curious in why the token
was set up in a way that it only
benefited pre-sale purchasers and those
experienced in the crypto space had many
questions. Primarily, who on Haley's
side was profiting from trading fees?
>> Um, we could we can answer that. Uh,
>> do you know about the insider trading?
>> No, there's no insider trading. That's
why we can answer it.
>> Okay. So, there's tokens going directly
from the main account.
>> Coffeezilla, just just chill for a
second.
>> And then it's getting sold for 50k. Hey,
who is that?
>> Definitely not us. You think we're doing
this for 50k? Yeah, [ __ ] right.
Talking to the wrong guy. You're used to
these [ __ ] scammers out here. Not
us. Now, we had
>> That's what everyone says, by the way.
>> Listen, listen. Doesn't matter. No, no,
I'm not everyone. There was a strategic
allocation, right, through a foundation
for
>> How much did y'all get doing a pre-sale?
How much did y'all make?
>> It's not that
>> filling out your fans over here.
>> Hold on. Coffeezilla, take a chill pill,
brother. You're So
>> y'all just rugled a bunch of people.
>> No, no, there's no rug. We're here every
single day. There's no rug pulled. Not
and it's not done by us.
>> You haven't answered the question. Who
made the money? How much did Haley Welsh
make of that million? 1.8 million.
>> Is it two? It's a foundation that is
running this project.
>> How much does she own of it?
>> It's a foundation. She owns zero of the
foundation.
>> So y'all found
>> No, I I don't own the foundation either.
a foundation in island.
>> Who profited over a million dollars was
just made.
>> I'm telling you, what do you guys think
exactly is going to happen when your uh
insiders get sent their tokens? And by
the way, who made the money from your
17% pre-sale while you're giving a tiny
piece of the pie to the public? Like,
what the hell? This is the worst
tokconomics I've ever seen. And it is a
scam.
>> It's not a scam. The tokconomics are a
scam. That's my opinion. You can say
whatever you want about it. You can cry.
Defamation. That's my opinion. It's a
scam.
>> And I only do this for a living. I've
only seen a million of these projects.
>> So So who pays you? Coffeezilla. Let's
let's uh let's track your wall.
>> Turn it around. Turn it around over
here. Why don't you tell what we're
doing? Everyone's here for you. in
Coffeezilla asking about the core issues
of the token and talk Hollywood unable
to provide an explanation outside of
deferring responsibility to the quote
unquote foundation. It appears over here
attempts to regain control of the
conversation by muting Coffeezilla.
>> Uh
>> I just got muted.
>> Yeah. So I mean like we we as mentioned
like
>> over here proceeds by providing nothing
of value and only sharing the vision of
the coin and other unsubstantiated
nonsense. Four minutes later FaZe Bank
steps in.
>> Go ahead Faze Banks.
>> Appreciate it. Um I just heard this guy
blab about pretty much nothing and
repeat the same [ __ ] that he said the
first time around. Haley, I'm going to
talk to you directly right now because
if you really own 10% of the supply of
this token and it's locked up for a year
and it's vested over three years, you
got scammed harder than anybody um
involved. This 100% was a mismanaged,
mislaunched like this. This is took what
Coffeezilla said, I would I would label
this a scam as well. And and I'll wrap
up here with just whoever whoever guided
you in this or whoever directed you to
do this or gave you the advice to do
this, you should fire them immediately.
And um yeah.
>> Yeah. I just want to jump in here.
>> Yeah, I'm doing the best I can. Thank
you, FaZe.
>> The conversation had devolved into an
aggressive attempt to control the
narrative. Coffeezilla and Faze were
persistent in attempting to extract
answers on why the project was
structured exactly as a scam. Doc
Hollywood and over here unable to answer
these technical questions resort to hype
man rhetoric and other nonsense about
memes that would typically work on the
uninformed and eager. Although this was
not the crowd that they were now
speaking to.
>> The key is just not giving up. The key
is showing up every single day memeing.
The key is to actually onboarding her
real true fans. this might not be for
everybody. It's not it's not a big deal
to us. We ain't going anywhere.
>> Part of the reason um behind kind of
like the coin and stuff like that has
been that um you know uh there's been a
bunch of fake tokens launch right uh off
the hawk tour meme and IP. I think like
everybody resonates with with with
Hawkour as a as a meme. It's like one of
the most viral memes of all time. uh and
like you know like I think people have
been making a lot of money off like
derivative works and you know people
have launched a bunch of fake tokens
which I think kind of speaks to the I
guess uh inherent memeability of of the
the meme itself.
>> Finally after 4 minutes of this a new
speaker under the alias of Trevor
understands what the conversation had
devolved into and attempts to extract
something coherent. Yes. So, um I think
I think the audience is very very very
frustrated listening to this right now.
And I think it's because
um people people don't really want to
know about like the reason for the idea
or what you're going to do next or the
vision. They just want to know like
about the dumping. Like they don't it's
not about the sniping. Like people want
to know what you're saying. The bubble
map is not correct. Like just provide
the the facts. Like
>> I think I can explain a lot of this if I
I keep getting muted. I keep getting
muted. I think I can explain a lot of
this.
>> I'll go to you inside coffee.
>> With the conversation stagnated and with
its listeners frustrated over here in
Doc Hollywood needed a way to get out of
it. So Haley was instructed to in her
words make up an excuse to leave.
>> Actual like
>> I hate to interrupt you, Nick. Hello
there. But anyh who, I'm going to go to
bed and I'll see you guys tomorrow.
>> Okay. um into uh for I guess for talking
over here.
>> Doc Hollywood unsatisfied that Haley's
departure did not bring an immediate end
to the conversation directly uses it as
an excuse to end the conversation.
>> Let's let
>> It's been a rough It's been a rough day.
It's all good. We'll come back tomorrow,
Nick. Um you know, we ain't going
nowhere.
>> You You can't You can't just tell me
what your salary is from this. I'll tell
you what mine is. It's It's $150,000.
What's yours?
>> Okay. I I don't I don't have a salary
from this. But that's that's cool.
>> No, I don't. Unfortunately, I'm
underpaid. Uh but listen, it's all good.
Uh have fun, guys. Neither of you
leaving.
>> We ain't going nowhere.
>> Doc Hollywood, though he promised to,
did not return the following day. In his
place was Charlie's video amassing
nearly 5 million views and Coffeezilla's
video, which sits at [music] 6.2 million
views. Coffeezilla in his video breaks
down the lengthy Twitter space and the
tokconomics and reveals messages he
received from Haley's lawyer and where
he stated that she has only ever seen
$125,000
from when she was paid up front for the
project. [music] This is why there is a
rise in searches of Hawk to a girl in
December 2024. In the end, Haley did
succeed somewhat in finding the new
thing she would be known for. The Hawk
to a girl. Can you believe it?
>> Did you hear about the crypto thing with
her? hear about it. She paid me in it.
>> I guess you haven't seen the news. Her
coin lost like 98% of its value.
>> It did?
>> Yeah, it did.
>> On Twitter, Over here would attempt to
distance themselves from the failed
project, stating that they were not part
of it officially, largely pinning its
failure to Doc Hollywood, who now in mid
December had not commented further on
the matter. The same could be said for
Haley, as the internet at large was
counting up how long her slumber was
after leaving the Twitter space
abruptly. Then it became all too clear
why she was absent. It was because this
lawsuit was in motion by Burwick Law
targeting virtually everyone involved
except Haley. As per this decrypt
article, quote, "When asked why Walsh
was not listed as a codefendant in the
Hawk lawsuit, Max Burwick, managing
partner at Burwick Law, said the
decision was intentional and hinted it
might help make his clients whole
sooner." unquote. Shortly after, Haley,
or perhaps her lawyer, made a statement
through her account on how they would be
assisting Borwick Law, likely in their
case against Doc Hollywood, his team,
and the other major parties involved in
the coin. After this, there would not be
any new talk to episodes for some time.
There would not be much of Haley Welsh
at all. I also imagine all the parasites
around Haley that actually control her
because she has become so big to the
point where she now has a whole PR team
and an entire like agency behind her. So
they are working her like a puppet. It's
like [ __ ] weakened it at Bernie's out
there with Haley Welch's body and I'm
guessing they're telling her to shut the
[ __ ] up.
>> Even by 2025, Haley was nowhere to be
seen and her disappearance was not
universally detested. quote, "Nobody
warned her that making a joke on camera
might ruin her life. And she didn't warn
anyone when she took all that money and
disappeared. I love it. Even some of the
quote unquote reputable crypto has
turned out to be scams. Why the [ __ ]
would anyone spend money on this type of
[ __ ] I'll tell you why. They hope they
can get in and get out so they can be
the ones screwing others, and they're
just too stupid to pull it off. I have
zero sympathy. She and the Logans should
still be ashamed, though." unquote. In
February, what was reportedly caused by
the incompetence of Haley's team was
leaking of the new episode of Talk Toua
and where she spoke about the coin with
Faze Banks in place of Coffeezilla who
was unwilling to appear on the show. Um,
it was a very long nap. I would say
that's what sucks about it too. I had to
read that off a phone and like put it in
my words and I was like, um, anyh who,
I'm going to bed. Thank you to all my
true fans and all the people that
actually watch my stuff and they keep up
with me. Um, we're trying to sort out
all the pieces and stuff to like get all
this figured out and make everything
right. Oh my god, I'm going to cry.
>> No, [laughter] don't cry. Don't cry.
>> Don't cry. Everything's going to be
good.
>> Haley would go on to state that the
revenue from this episode would be
donated. Yet, that is possibly just
pennies to the money she received up
front from the crypto venture.
>> Well, see, that's how it got brought to
me. It was supposed to be done the right
way. Like, it was going to be good.
Like, half the money, it was supposed to
go like into my charity. That's really
why I agreed to do it, just for the
simple fact putting money into that.
>> Looking back at Haley's contract, she
was entitled to 50% of all the profits.
This lines up with what she should have
donated to her fund. Yet, there is a
massive issue with this statement and
what is being discussed in the leaked
talk to episode. If you took all the
money that you made from the deal,
whatever, and just like bought back the
coin and then locked it up, I feel like
that's a very like clear action that you
can make. uh you know back to the
community and I think that would just
like stamp it and the community can run
with it. So that's like the idea that we
were talking about
>> as far as narrative goes in a gesture. I
mean you just [ __ ] nailed that by the
way. And that would you you mentioned it
earlier 125,000
>> plus 100,000 or what did I hear?
>> Yeah. So
>> how much total money has been received
due to this?
>> 125,000 has
>> been received.
with her buying in right now with what's
on the market is there's 80%
>> yes
>> that's not available
>> what does that mean
>> the question brought by this question is
why is it even being considered that
Haley could feasibly pump her own coin
with the money she made from it when
Haley will later make it very much clear
that her earnings not exclusive to the
50% of the coin's profits were meant to
go deposits across America
>> and then Haley we're going to take your
cut and we're going to donate it and I
was like that's fine like let's do It is
possible that the money was donated and
Haley is just oblivious to practically
everything. In the lawsuit by Burwick
Law, it is stated that Haley's manager
was in control of all aspects of her
commercial operations, including
facilitating her involvement in the
token's launch. Haley on Adam Cura's
podcast also stated she was not aware of
her own finances, or at least those
involved in the podcast.
>> And the podcast, we making any money
with that?
>> Um, I don't really know.
>> Okay. Well, you should get a little more
into your finances.
>> Yeah, I definitely should. I [laughter]
should keep up with it better.
>> As for the fallout of the leaked
episode, Coffeezilla made a video
covering it. Besides showcasing Haley's
lawyer, stating that Doc Hollywood was
not so bright and discussing the
contract between Haley and Doc, was a
discussion about how this leaked episode
affected the coin. When this podcast
went live, I thought maybe things went
well. Turns out it didn't because Banks
released this. He said, "I agreed to do
our first podcast back. I had heavy
stipulations of not letting the market
get manipulated. I think that's basic.
Uh her team finding a real solution
regarding the money she made. Those were
non-starters.
These people leaked or insighted insider
traded the token. We noticed a random
spike in volume on the coin the day we
did the podcast along with random
messages asking if we did the podcast.
But today the episode got leaked.
Apparently there was an agreement. The
podcast is never going out. today. It
got leaked. FaZe Banks canled the
episode. Are you guys getting that? He
He was like, I c I can't be a part of
this. And they posted the clip. I can't
believe it. With every step a misstep,
so was the attempt of Haley's management
to attempt to sail a sunken ship. As
better and Haley had split ways, the
responsibility would be on Haley's team
to produce the podcast. First was the
video of her comeback on her Instagram
and Tik Tok late March. very little if
any of the comments were enthusiastic
with her return. Even so, a new episode
of Talkua was posted April 8th. The
guest was worldclass influencer KSI, one
of the faces and part owner of the
lucrative sports drink Prime. This
episode was the worst performing in the
entire catalog until the next episode.
Episode 18, uploaded April 22nd and also
episode 18 uploaded April 29th performed
similarly terrible. Though these two
episodes are distinct, they inexplicably
are fighting for the episode 18 title.
If the views were combined on these two,
they would still far underperform even
against the KSI episode. Episode 19 did
little to bring in viewership. And
finally, the last episode in the talk 20
series, the infamous episode 20.
Normally in this setting, as is the case
with some podcast, a guest is being
interviewed and the conversation is
edited down to be around an hour in
length. This episode had no guest and it
was only 20 minutes long. In all of
Talkua, the conversations tend to lack
any depth, any greater narrative or
conversation. Yet, this episode tried to
not because they were trying to improve
on the quality of the podcast, but
because this was in its entirety a drawn
out PR statement to address the coin.
The questions are preloaded and
delivered via Haley's friend, who at
points throughout is quite clearly
holding a sheet of paper likely with the
questions she is meant to ask. On Tik
Tok, this episode was promoted and even
dramatized with police sirens and other
misplaced sound effects.
>> Meds come to Granny's house and knock on
her door and they're like, "Oh, you're
not in any trouble. We just want to ask
you questions about everything." And
then they wanted to see my phone. So, I
was like, "Okay, well, that's not a
problem." Interrogated me asking me
questions and everything else related to
crypto. They went through my phone, so
they cleared me. I was good to go. And
then the SEC picked it up and then they
didn't want to talk with me, but they
wanted my phone. So, I sent my phone off
to them for two or three days and then I
guess they cloned my phone, copied it,
something, but they went through my
phone. I was cleared from them and I
wasn't named on the lawsuit either.
>> Haley here claims she has been cleared
by the SEC. TMZ attempted to reach out
to the government agency, but they
refused to comment on the matter and
Haley was not named in the Burwick Law
lawsuit. So, at minimum, that much was
true and perhaps she was constrained by
ongoing investigations as to not be able
to comment about the coin. In this
episode, she claims beyond the money she
received up front, she did not make
anything from it.
>> I did not make a dime from the coin
itself.
>> So, you got paid for promoting it or
>> just promoting it and putting all the
work into it, like the videos and stuff
that I do for him to post, that's what I
got paid for.
>> But the coin itself, like anything that
was raised from that coin,
>> I did not make a dime off of it. But at
this point, like everything I paid for
like PR crisis, a new lawyer, stuff like
that.
>> All that money went to that.
>> Every bit of it went to that. So, I
mean, I've really come out with nothing.
>> Damn.
>> All that trouble for nothing.
>> Yeah.
>> Haley fails to mention that she made
$125,000 from this deal. Though, in
listing her expenditures, she does
verify none of it went to her charity,
but rather attempts to save her legally
and to salvage her image. This episode,
in revealing even more of Haley's
qualities in that she needs a PR team
and that she was entirely oblivious in
what she was promoting, it reveals or
more so confirms she does not have it.
She is a figurehead meant to sell
products who is being puppeteered by
various teams who even now steer her
wrong. So then what is she without this
team? On her Tik Tok, there were signs
that she was acting without the filter
of such a team yet attempting to apply
what she learned through them. On June
6th, Haley released this Tik Tok where
she states her opposition labels her as
a scammer, a likely response to the
building frustration of being hated
online. And in July, Haley, as she had
done several times in the past, released
a new video of her purchasing a cart
full of supplies for an animal shelter.
In isolation, this would have been
universally wellreceived. But with the
knowledge that $100 in supplies is
incomparable to the $125,000 that could
have been donated, it looks as if this
is her Skinner box or that she has the
learned behavior that posting her
donations means good PR. The majority of
comments are not so convinced. quote,
"This ain't going to work again." Though
she would not upload another video of
donations, she would still make videos
dissatisfied at the hate comments she
was receiving.
>> So, why would I give a [ __ ] what a
dumbass rat thinks about me? I don't
care. Everything I say is right.
>> Roses are red and the only thing that
quack is a duck. I never gave a damn and
I sure don't give a [ __ ] Hello,
somebody.
>> How do you sleep at night knowing people
don't like you with no underwear in case
they want to kiss my ass? Haley would
continue to post about being mad or
dissatisfied for months. During this
period, Haley on her fan fix, her safe
for work version of Only Fans, posted
quote, "I missed y'all so much. Little
surprise for you in your DMs. Monkey
heart cherry feet emoji."
To access even just the information of
what she was hinting at, one has to be
subscribed to her fanfix. Fortunately,
this Reddit user was. They received this
message from her account. Quote, "Only
you get to see how ticklish this cowgirl
really is. Winky face. Feet emoji. Just
can't stop giggling. Giggling face. Feet
emoji."
The price of what is presumably a
picture of her feet is $200. This price
point could have been done to supplement
the loss in revenue from her podcast.
The same could be said for her newest
venture. Haley wanted to become a gaming
streamer, a space she is not at all
familiar with.
>> What What all do you know about Twitch
prior to this?
Um, not much. I figured out how to turn
my computer on and everything and get it
ready, but otherwise, uh,
>> so you didn't even know how to like
utilize the computer.
>> Yeah,
>> that's pretty cool.
>> The production value in Haley's streams
are not very high, and Haley has no
schedule for them.
>> What do you mean, what the [ __ ] are we
doing? We're sitting here bullshitting.
We had to redownload uh, Fortnite. Haley
through her management was placed in
various spaces and promoted various
products she knew nothing about. Now
through what appears to be on her own,
she is doing the same thing only with
gaming content on the live section of
the talk to a channel. On November 3rd,
creator gamer for Mars on Twitter posted
an image that showed Haley and now we're
into one of her streams was sitting at
an active base of nine. Without the
social media management machine behind
her, this is where she is. where most
successful game streamers opt to stream
on Twitch and stream daily for eight
hours, Haley was on YouTube, utilizing
her podcast-based channel to promote an
entirely different genre, one where she
streams infrequently and for an average
of 2 hours at a time. This is likely the
truest variant of Haley Welch. It has
taken her just over a year to lose all
momentum. She went from someone being
entirely unknown to being viewed as the
all-American woman, [music] a factory
worker who was given fame she never
asked for and supposedly utilized it for
charity. Then almost immediately
everything flipped when she began
promoting the most lucrative yet
deceptive products. The woman who was
praised as a counter to the worst parts
of social media has fully embodied them.
And as of November 2025, she has been
delivered a future far more grim. The
Borwick Law lawsuit which she toted
being excluded from has now included
her. Quote, "Defended Welsh, while less
technically sophisticated than the other
actors, played a critical operational
role by providing the trust vector
through which millions of retail
investors were induced to participate.
Although Welsh did not design the fraud,
her participation materially advanced it
by leveraging her parasocial influence
and directing her fans towards the token
at the precise moment insiders were
preparing to extract liquidity. For this
reason, Welsh is properly named in the
unjust enrichment claim, even though she
is not alleged to have participated in
the technical manipulation."
Even her obliviousness could not save
her, though it is her intuition that
should have. This is why the story of
Haley Welsh, the small town girl, and
her crypto scam, is not a story of the
girl, but the blank slate and what it
can become when fully exposed. when
etched upon everpresent corrupt
individuals seeking to extract rather
than improve all while waiting to find
their next slate. Oh, you got to give
him that hawk too and spit on that
thing. You get me?

This video details the rise and fall of Haley Welsh, who became an internet sensation after a viral street interview where she uttered a memorable phrase. Initially seen as an "all-American woman," her life quickly transformed as the clip spread, leading to widespread recognition and subsequent attempts to monetize her fame through various ventures including cryptocurrency, merchandise, and a podcast. The narrative explores how her initial viral moment was amplified by social media and later manipulated by managers and associates pushing questionable products like a failed cryptocoin. Despite initial success and a period where she was lauded for resilience, her involvement in these ventures led to legal trouble and a significant decline in public interest. The video concludes by highlighting how her story evolved from one of unexpected fame to a cautionary tale about exploitation and the pitfalls of viral internet culture, ultimately resulting in a lawsuit that implicated her despite her apparent lack of deep involvement in the fraudulent schemes.
