Hawk Tuah Girl Scores Major Career Update After Viral Fame
Hawk Tuah girl Haliey Welch can't stop crushing it.
Welch shot to overnight fame after making a sex joke during an interview on the streets of Nashville, and her momentum has only grown stronger since.
She has sold more than $65,000 in merchandise, appeared on stage during a Zach Bryan concert and did a very viral interview on the "PlanBri Uncut" podcast.
Now, she's secured a management deal.
Hawk Tuah girl Haliey Welch signs management deal.
Welch has reached a deal with the management firm The Penthouse, according to The Hollywood Reporter, and it sounds like there are big plans for the future.
"The world’s gone crazy for Haliey! I’m glad our team can help guide this rocketship. All the podcasters are right, spend five minutes with her and you’ll see why she is America’s sweetheart," The Penthouse founder Jonnie Forster said in a statement, according to the same THR report. Hard to disagree with any part of that.
What comes next? It sounds like all options are on the table for Welch. The top priorities at this moment appear to be launching "her own social media channels" as she grows her brand.
Something tells me that Welch jumping headfirst into the social media and podcasts game might be very successful.
Isn't America truly an awesome place? One night, Welch is out on the town in Nashville with a friend when she's asked a sex move guys like. Without hesitation, she answers and her life has now changed forever.
It's not rocket science. She's charismatic, clearly has a solid sense of humor and doesn't take herself too seriously. Add all those ingredients up, and you have yourself a very potent recipe for success in the digital era.
I'm sure there will be plenty of people who complain. Let them complain. Welch seems to be having a ton of fun and is making money along the way. There's nothing wrong with that, and she's also giving people something to laugh about. You'll never see me knock that. Let me know what you think at David.Hookstead@outkick.com.
