Hailey Welch, known to many as ‘the Hawk Tuah girl’, has made a heartbreaking confession about her troubled childhood that left her interviewer stunned.
The 21-year-old viral star, who rose to fame with her ‘hawk tuah’ sex advice, dropped the bombshell during Whitney Cummings’ ‘Good For You’ podcast last week.
Welch, a Tennessee native who previously said she lives with her grandmother, revealed in a candid interview that she is a “crack baby” and has no brain cells.
She made the confession after revealing her crush, a comedian named Matt Rife, who ended up making a surprise visit via FaceTime.
Hailey Welch, 21, known to many as ‘the Hawk Tuah girl’, made a heartbreaking confession about her troubled childhood during a podcast interview last week.
Welch, a Tennessee native who previously said she lives with her grandmother, revealed she is a “crack baby” and has no brain cells in the candid interview.
When Rife, 28, discovered his young age, he asked about his mother.
‘How old is your mom?’ he asked.
Welch shockingly revealed: ‘My mother is addicted to crack, you don’t love her’
Cummings, surprised, asked Welch if he was serious.
Welch then referred to herself as a “crack baby” and said that’s why she’s so “funny” and has no brain cells.
“Yes, I am a drug addict!” she exclaimed. “Why do you think I am so funny?”
“Okay,” Cummings replied. “She could be your soulmate,” he told Rife.
“I love trauma,” Rife said. “Now I see where personality comes from. It’s great.”
Welch agreed: “Yeah, I don’t have any brain cells.”
Rife then gave Welsh some advice, comparing the two to their newfound ‘fame’.
“Just stand strong, have fun, be smart and be responsible,” he said. “Because as much as people love you today, more and more people will hate you tomorrow.”
“And the more people love you, the more they hate you, because they love you. People love to see you succeed at first, but then they 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.
Welch appears in the viral street video that has made her an Internet sensation.
In July, Welch filed an application to trademark his catchphrase after rising to fame giving out sex advice on the streets of Nashville.
Welch launched her own company called ’16 Minutes LLC’ and applied for full rights to use her sensational line on merchandising items including hats and t-shirts.
He was seeking a trademark for clothing items and entertainment services, specifically, comedy shows and podcasts about “comedy and current events.”
