Hailey Welch , better known as the "Hawk Tuah" girl who went viral, is prepared to prolong her 15 minutes of fame now that she has representation.
Hailey's new representative, the management company Penthouse, has confirmed that they are indeed working with the current Internet craze . It was once thought that United Talent Agency represented Hailey; however, as people with inside information disclosed, the Hollywood agency never signed a contract with Hailey, according to TMZ.
It appears that everything turned out for the best. The company's founder, Jonnie Forster, expressed her excitement about working with Hailey, but she remained silent regarding HW's initial concept.

Jonnie stated that Hailey's popularity is growing and that she might become the next big thing in America, despite being known only for spitting on a microphone while issuing an x-rated statement. It's also worth noting that Hailey was dubbed "every father's worst nightmare" by Howard Stern.
Even so, Hailey's account of spitting on a man's privates during a Nashville street interview went viral online. When admirers learned that the "Hawk Tuah" girl was missing from social media, they began searching for her more actively, with some even making fictitious accounts in her place.
Since then, Hailey has made a comeback on Instagram and signed her first merchandise contract with Fathead Threads, selling official "Hawk Tuah" girl caps. During this week's 'Plan Bri' podcast, she also revealed her Internet celebrity, telling host Bri LaPaglia that she didn't want to be remembered as merely the "Hawk Tuah" chick.
Fake rumors surfaced shortly after Hailey went viral, claiming that she had been "fired" from her teaching position because of her remarks, which were deemed unsuitable given her proximity to youngsters. According to the relationship expert, she was employed in a spring factory rather than a school.

You will have seen a meme, GIF, or little video of her saying you "gotta spit on that thang" on Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, or YouTube. The term "hawk tuah" alludes to the onomatopoeic description of her spitting motion that she gave.
During a risque street interview with Tim & Dee TV, she gave romance advise, and one of her comments went viral. A million memes and a global hunt for her identity ensued. And not long after she rose to fame across the globe, her true identity as a Nashville, Tennessee native made public.
However, the curious internet users weren't satisfied and desired additional details about her. And they received just that when a rumor began circulating that Hailey was, in fact, a preschool teacher who had been let go due to the interview.
One thing about viral sensations is that they can spread quickly if you can create a convincing enough piece of content on the subject. In one case, a widely shared Facebook post from the Tippah County Tribune page stated that Hailey Wellington of Ripley, Mississippi, was the "hawk tuah girl" and that she had been let off from her position as a preschool instructor.
