Hailey Welch, known to many as ‘Hawk Tuah girl,’ has made a heart-wrenching confession about her troubled childhood that’s left her interviewer stunned.
The 21-year-old once viral star, who shot to fame with her ‘hawk tuah’ sex tip, dropped the bombshell during Whitney Cummings’ ‘Good For You’ podcast last week.
Welch, a native of Tennessee who has previously said she lives with her grandmother, revealed that she’s a ‘crack baby’ and has no brain cells in the candid interview.
She made the confession after revealing her celebrity crush, a comedian named Matt Rife, who ended up making a surprise visit via FaceTime.
When Rife, 28, found out her young age, he inquired about her mother.
‘How old is your mom?’ he asked.
Welch shockingly revealed: ‘My mama a crackhead, you don’t want her.’
Cummings, looking shocked, asked Welch if she was serious.
Welch then referred to herself as a ‘crack baby’, and said that’s why she is so ‘funny’ and has no brain cells.
‘Yeah, I’m a crack baby!’ she exclaimed. ‘Why do you think I’m so funny?’
‘Okay,’ Cummings replied. ‘She might be your soulmate,’ she told Rife.
‘The trauma, I love it,’ Rife said. ‘Now I see where the personality comes from. This is great.’
Welch agreed, ‘Yeah, I don’t got any brain cells.’
Rife then gave advice to Welsh, comparing both of their new found ‘fame.’
‘Just stick to your guns and have fun and be smart and responsible,’ he said. ‘Because as much as people love you today, more and more people hate you tomorrow.’
‘And the more people love you, the more people hate you because people love you. People love to see you succeed in the beginning, but then they f****** love to tear you down when they feel like you’ve gotten too big for your britches.’
‘And save some crack for the rest of us,’ he joked.
In July, Welch filed to trademark her signature phrase after she shot to fame giving sex tips on the streets of Nashville.
Welch launched her own company named ’16 Minutes LLC’ and applied to have complete rights to use her sensational line on merchandise items, including hats and t-shirts.
She was seeking a trademark for clothing items and entertainment services – namely comedy shows and podcasts about ‘comedy and current events.’
