Hailey Welch's Viral Response 'Hawk Tuah' Sparks Internet Sensation and Merchandise Line

Hailey Welch, a young woman from Tennessee, recently gained internet fame after her response to a question about what move in bed makes a man go crazy went viral. In the interview conducted by Tim & Dee TV, Hailey shared the term 'hawk tuah,' which is likened to the sound of someone using a spittoon in an old Western saloon but applied to sex. The clip was filmed in Nashville and has been remixed and recreated online, leading to Hailey having her own merchandise line.

Despite the viral success, rumors circulated that Hailey lost her job as a preschool teacher due to the explicit video. However, it appears that these claims may be false as there is no evidence to support this allegation.

Hailey's newfound fame has brought her significant attention and financial opportunities. She has sold over $65,000 worth of merchandise through Fathead Threads, a small family-owned shop in Tennessee. The demand for her hats is so high that the initial batch of 2000 has already been produced.

Hailey is reportedly seeking the help of an attorney to negotiate potential business opportunities and capitalize on her newfound fame. She has gone into virtual hiding in a tranquil Tennessee town due to the attention and publicity she received.

The term 'hawk tuah' has become a popular catchphrase, with many celebrities such as Bryson DeChambeau, Olivia Dunne, Paul Skenes, Bryce Harper, and Conor McGregor using it on social media. The viral video has sparked a wave of creativity and humor online.

    • Over 2,000 'Hawk Tuah' hats have been sold at $32.78 each and signed versions for $50.
  • Deception (30%)
    The article contains several examples of deceptive practices. The author uses sensationalism by describing Haliey Welch as the 'queen of the internet' and 'Hawk Tuah girl' who is poised to cash in on her newfound fame. The author also engages in selective reporting by only mentioning details that support the narrative of Haliey Welch going into hiding and profiting from her viral video. Additionally, there are instances of emotional manipulation as the author attempts to elicit sympathy for Haliey Welch's struggle with fame. However, there is no clear evidence of outright lies or deception in the article.
    • Despite all the rumors, misinformation and wild speculation, DailyMail.com has been told by a source that Welch has sought the help of an attorney to negotiate the upcoming minefield in a bid to capitalize as much as possible.
    • Enthusiastically, and with considerable demonstration to mimic the noise, she revealed: ‘You gotta give ’em that hawk tuah.’

  • Fallacies (85%)
    The author uses inflammatory rhetoric by describing Haliey Welch's advice as 'crude' and 'every father's worst nightmare'. He also makes an appeal to authority by mentioning Howard Stern's opinion on the matter.
    • > every father’s worst nightmare to see her on Instagram going ‘yeah you’ve got to hawk tuah on that f***ing thing’.
    • Howard Stern: 'As a dad myself of three girls, that’s every father’s worst nightmare to see her on Instagram going “yeah you've got to hawk tuah on that f***ing thing”.'
  • Bias (95%)
    The author uses sensational language to describe Haliey Welch's viral video and the subsequent attention she has received. The article repeatedly mentions the 'onslaught of publicity' and how Haliey is 'finding fame challenging to handle'. The author also describes the hat deal as being shrouded in secrecy, implying that there may be something untoward going on. These descriptions could be seen as negative and biased, particularly towards Haliey Welch.

      Why Is Everybody Talking About the Hawk Tuah Girl?

      Rolling Stone Magazine Tomás Mier Wednesday, 26 June 2024 00:00
      • Unique Points
        • Hailey gained virality from an on-the-street interview where she shared a sex move named 'hawk tuah',
        • The clip was filmed in Nashville and has been remixed and recreated online, leading to Hailey having her own merchandise line.
        • Hailey was rumored to have been fired from her job as a preschool teacher due to the viral video, but this might be false.
      • Accuracy
        • Orders for the hats are flooding in from around the country,
        • She is reportedly seeking the help of an attorney to negotiate potential business opportunities and capitalize on her newfound fame.
      • Deception (100%)
        None Found At Time Of Publication
      • Fallacies (75%)
        The article contains a few informal fallacies and an appeal to authority. It reports on the viral video of the Hawk Tuah Girl without explicitly endorsing or condemning her actions. The author mentions that Hailey's response in the interview has led to her being dubbed as the Hawk Tuah Girl, having a merch line, and even spawning a rumor about her job. However, it does not present any formal logical fallacies.
        • The article reports on the viral video of Hailey without explicitly endorsing or condemning her actions: 'The clip, filmed in Nashville, has been remixed, re-created, and discussed so much online that Hailey is now dubbed the “Hawk Tuah Girl”.'
        • An appeal to authority is made when mentioning the creators of the video partnering with Hailey for merchandise: 'The original creators who interviewed Hailey have partnered with her and a local custom merch creator to sell clothing with her silly line... They’re working with a Tennessee-based brand called Fathead Threads to make “authorized merchandise” with Hailey.'
        • The article reports on the rumor about Hailey being fired from her job, even though it is marked as fake: 'Earlier this week, as the video was making its rounds online, a parody account called Tippah County Tribune made a post joking that the woman... had been fired from her job as a preschool teacher at Epstein Day School.'
        • An informal fallacy occurs when attributing undue influence to an unrelated event: 'The Hawk Tuah girl was a preschool teacher, who is now forced to resign.' The fact that she is called the Hawk Tuah girl does not necessarily mean she had to resign from her job.
