Hailey Welch, who shot to fame as Hawk Tuah on the internet , has finally set the record straight and revealed what her real job is after several online rumors spread about what sector she is employed in . The viral video star disputed some mistruths while appearing on the Plan Bri Uncut podcast with host Brianna Lapaglia .

Previously, there was conjecture that Welch, 21, was a pre-school teacher and her online infamy saw her fired from that post. However, she quickly disputed those rumors. She clarified with conviction: "I work in a spring factory. I'm not a school teacher or a bartender. I'm not even old enough to be a teacher, I'm 21!"

Similarly, she also debunked rumors about her family: "My dad is also not a preacher. He's so far from a preacher, it's crazy. None of it's true, it's all made up."
