'Hawk Tuah' girl Hailey Welch sells merchandise after going viral
The woman behind the viral 'Hawk Tuah' video has been identified as Hailey Welch and is now selling merchandise branded with her catchphrase.
Welch became famous for the video in which she used the term 'Hawk Tuah' to describe spitting as part of a sexual act.
Since the interview was posted on June 19, the woman has become an internet sensation that sparked hundreds of memes.
Now she's cashing in on her new found fame and partnered with Tennessee based hat company Fathead Threads to sell her own line of hats, after being identified by OutKick.
'I have been authorized to sell these hats after a conversation with Hailey. She will be receiving a portion of the profits from sales,' Jason Poteete from Fathead Threads shared on Facebook.
The company posted a photo of Welch autographing two different types of hats, one with a leather patch and one embordered, which are available for purchase.
Unsigned embroidered 'Hawk Tuah' hats are going for $32.70 while signed caps are on sale for $43.70.
Hats with the leather 'Hawk Tuah' patch and an autograph go for $50 and unsigned versions are $40.
Chelsea Bradford, the proud friend standing next to Welch in the video, shared the merch line on Facebook. 'Finally someone giving my girl commission,' she wrote.
'Hawk Tuah' has taken the world by storm and took fans' attention during Bryson DeChambeau's second round at LIV Golf's event in Nashville this weekend.
A clip of DeChambeau's 3-wood shot gained virality after a fan yelled the infamous phrase in response to him launching the ball toward the 10th hole on Saturday.
Commenters flooded Olivia Dunne's Instagram comment section with the phrase when she posted bikini pictures with MLB boyfriend Paul Skenes.
Among the responses was a GIF of Welch's viral moment. Dunne responded to the comment on Sunday night. 'Leave Miss Tuah out of this,' the gymnast wrote.
Hilarious memes have flooded the internet since Welch coined 'Hawk Tuah.'
One X user shared a photo of two men wearing hockey jerseys with the phrase on their backs with the caption 'This city is ALIVE.'
Others show Welch's face replacing Tony Hawk on the cover of his PlayStation game, while another edited her on to a scene from the Lion King captioned 'Hawk Tuah Matata.'
'Me liking every Hawk Tuah video and meme,' another X user said with a video of elderly people robotically play slot machines.
Another meme edited a video game cartridge into the viral moment with the caption 'when your game wouldn't start.
