At some point, Zach and Hailey gave a “Hawk Tuah” to the thrilled crowd. Moreover, the viral woman had some stumbles, occasionally getting lost over lyrics, but concertgoers didn’t care, TMZ reported on Sunday (June 30).

The viral sensation has flipped what was once an infamous street interview to her advantage, making over $65,000 (and counting) selling merch inspired by her unfiltered personality.

Fathead Threads, a Tennessee-based embroidery and apparel brand, became the only official vendor for Hawk Tuah Girl merchandise, selling hats and apparel.

The company has been exclusively selling “Hawk Tuah ’24” hats, which are currently available in 14 colors and selling for $32.78 each.

Hailey became known as the Hawk Tuah Girl on June 11 after mimicking expectoration sounds and joking about fellatio during a street interview with YouTubers Tim & Dee TV.

During the much-talked-about video interview, the YouTubers asked Hailey, “What’s one move in bed that makes a man go crazy every time?”

Hailey responded in her now emblematic Southern accent: “Oh, you gotta give him that hawk tuah and spit on that thang.”

The woman’s response became an instant internet meme, sparking reactions from millions of people, including WWE wrestler Liv Morgan, who quoted her in a post shared on X (formerly known as Twitter) on Saturday (June 22).

Posing with her massive belt, Liv said: “I feel so good. I just gotta give this thing a hawk tuah.”

Over the past weeks, the clip has been referenced by other notable figures, including Joe Rogan, Howard Stern, and the Philadelphia Phillies’ first baseman Bryce Harper.

Numerous rumors regarding Hailey’s professional life have since spread, such as claims that she signed with United Talent Agency. However, the deal was quickly debunked.

There were also speculations regarding Hailey’s job as a preschool teacher, which she supposedly lost as a result of her infamous street interview.

Facebook page Tippah County Tribune published a post on June 21 stating that “Hawk Tuah girl” had been fired from her job at a school after a video of her risqué relationship advice went viral online.

However, after the post went viral, the claim was also debunked as the Facebook page described its output as being satirical in nature.

“Forget anyone who doesn’t like what you’re doing,” a reader commented

As a visual editor in the News team, I look for the most interesting pictures and comments to make each post interesting and informative through images, so that you aren't reading only blocks of text. I joined Bored Panda not that long ago, but in this short amount of time I have covered a wide range of topics: from true crime to Taylor Swift memes (my search history is very questionable because of that). In my freetime, I enjoy spending time at the gym, gaming, binging Great British Bake Off and adding yet another tattoo artist that I would love to get a tattoo from to my pinterest board.

I wish BP has a feature where you can blok certain writers or subjects. That would greatly improve this site

That's asking for too much out of them. It's easier for them to churn out pointless celebrity/"influencer" articles rather than make changes for the better.

Honestly, my little mutt rescue, who has a wonky eye and a problem with farting would also be a better choice. He promises heinous farts, and he delivers on those promises. I can respect his integrity.
