Is Haliey Welch Suing Interviewer Who Made Her Famous? Hawk Tuah Girl Speaks Out

Haliey Welch, better known as the "Hawk Tuah Girl," has publicly denied rumors that she is suing the creators of the video that catapulted her to fame. In a post on X, the former Twitter, Welch referred to the claims as "fake news" and implied that "clout is being chased." Following claims that Welch was suing YouTubers Tim Dickerson and DeArius Marlow, together known as Tim & Dee TV, the allegations started to circulate. When the YouTube pair asked Welch about her sexual life in an interview with a man on the street, they turned her into a sensation. Welch's viral reaction, "Hawk tuah," defined as an onomatopoeia signifying an intimate deed, has since become a popular catchphrase.

Rumors Fueled by Social Media PostsWhen Dickerson and Marlow were said by the X account @DramaAlert to have confirmed the legal disagreement in a TikTok message, rumors regarding Welch's lawsuit gained momentum. A snapshot of a comments area where individuals talked about the claimed lawsuit was provided by @DramaAlert in a post. It seems that user DMarlow verified the statement by stating, "Not false news. Dropping a background clip on YouTube with all the receipts.” In reaction, Welch took to X with a hilarious retort, uploading a meme from Legally Blonde with her face overlaid over Reese Witherspoon's. "Fake news," she wrote as the image's caption. Welch said, "If I sued it would be public but I guess clout is being chased," in response to a follower who provided a screenshot of the remarks. She concluded the post with a laughing emoji. The Hawk Tuah PhenomenonWelch's wild ascent to stardom started in June, when her flirtatious answer to a question from Tim & Dee TV went viral on social media. Since then, Welch has taken use of her viral moment to start her own clothing line and podcast, Talk Tuah. She has made appearances at prestigious occasions, such as a New York Mets game when she threw out the opening pitch, and she was mentioned in a Saturday Night Live comedy. Embracing Fame with Mixed EmotionsIn previous interviews, Welch has discussed how her newfound fame has impacted her life. In a video posted on Instagram earlier this year, Welch shared that she has overcome her stage fright, even performing alongside Zach Bryan before a crowd of 80,000. "I sang, and I cannot sing for s***. But I did it anyway," she said. Welch also revealed that she quit her factory job and now feels pressured to “get ready more than one time out of the week,” jokingly adding, "I'm not allowed to look like Adam Sandler anymore!"However, Welch acknowledged that not all aspects of fame have been easy. She shared that paparazzi have been camped outside her home for two weeks, prompting her to reassure her grandfather against reacting violently. Representatives Decline CommentRequests for comment from the representatives of Dickerson, Marlow, and Welch have not yet been answered. Even with the lingering suspicions, Welch is emphatic that there has been no lawsuit.
