“I don't know”: Haliey Welch starts via HAWK Tuah Crypto scandal in the comeback interview

After months of silence, the woman, known as HAWK Tuah Girl, finally spoke openly about the crypto chaos, who shook her year and strived to hear her site alike.

The 22-year-old influencer stood last year after the collapse of the Meme Crypto token $ Hawk, who sent waves through the online community and landed in legal hot water. Now I want to clarify the confusion and think about a turbulent chapter in which she tries to leave her behind.

The increase and case of $ hawk

Haliey Welch was famous as a “Hawk Tuah” girl when a video in which she was wearing, became viral, and asked her answer to the question “What is a train in bed that is going crazy every time?” The video exploded on the Internet and landed as a documentary, a podcast, the opportunity to throw the first place in a METS game, her own dating advice and much more.

What a journey into the crypto world started with high hopes. In December 2024, a meme coin called $ HAWK was started in honor of their viral fame. Within just 20 minutes, the value fell by over 90%and led many investors with severe losses.

The crash was associated with accusations that insiders organized a “carpet pull” and the value of the coin before selling their holdings and was left behind with worthless tokens. The investors claimed that they had lost a collective £ 116,000 (150,000 US dollars), and some even said they lost their savings.

What claimed her innocence and claimed that she and her team had not dealt with illegal activities. Over time, the US Securities and Exchange Commission closed its investigation and did not find any evidence against it, although the public consequence existed.

Go away

After the scandal, what disappeared from the spotlight for three months and retired to her house in Tennessee. Her social media contributions became dark and she focused on her personal life. She describes the break as an “urgently needed” psychological health break, in which she spent time with friends and her dog. “It was nice,” she admits and reflects on this quiet time.

However, the weight of the controversy left a brand. “It is really overwhelming when your whole life is online and people can say everything,” she says. “You have to be strong to stay in this room.”

Your return to social media in March was a cautious step. She restarted her podcast with Tuah, hoping to rename and secure big names like Britney Spears and Miley Cyrus. “This is my show, and I want it to feel real – for me and my audience,” explains what.

Lessons learned and go forward

In her interview with Vanity Fair, which is surprisingly open about her experiences. She admits that she has underestimated the risks associated with her crypto company, and regrets that they have caused the injuries to their supporters. “I'm really sorry for people who have lost money,” she says. “I should have known better and I learned from it.” She emphasizes how important it is to understand what she holds her name together and warns others to be careful.

What SP? “It was a roller coaster ride,” she admits. “The video interview that was leaked was hard, but the crypto case hit even harder.” She attributes to her lawyer and the new management team that she helped her with the consequences of navigation and rebuilt her career. “I always fought internally,” she admits, “but I try to use this experience to grow.”

The street ahead

While what future remains uncertain, her determination is clear. She hopes to be able to rename her podcast into something “greenerer” and more authentic and to be aligned with her developing personality. “I want to give something back to people because I have never asked for this fame,” she says. Her plans include spectacle, some carefree activities such as buying flower and the occasional poker game in Vegas.

Her latest decision to take part in a celebrity poker tournament was a certain skepticism in view of the timing after her crypto scandal. “It's just a game,” she twitches. “I stay as long as I can.” Your message to followers is simple: be careful about who you trust and what you participate in.

A new chapter

What history remains in progress, but their willingness to speak honestly, marks a significant change. In her interview with Vanity Fair, she announced that she hopes that her openness will serve as a warning and lesson, not only for her fans, but for anyone who enters into the unpredictable world of the online rest.
