A video of an impromptu street interview that circulated on social media platforms like Instagram and TikTok has propelled Hailey Welsh, also known as “Hawk Tuah” or “spit on that thing” girl, into the limelight. Her offbeat response to a question about what men find irresistible sparked a wave of viral memes and attention.
Rumors circulated that Welsh might have faced consequences at her job due to her sudden rise to online fame. A questionable post on Facebook by the Tippah County Tribune claimed that she was forced to step down from her role as a preschool teacher at a fictional school called Epstein Day School. The post even included a supposed statement from the school’s director.
“Since they heard their beloved Miss Hailey say ‘spit on that thang’ on YouTube, the kids have been imitating her, even spitting on each other,” the alleged statement mentioned.
“While we appreciate Hailey’s positive influence on our students, we cannot condone such behavior from one of our faculty members.”
Verification of the Statement
Concerned fans can relax as the Tippah County Tribune is renowned for its satire, clearly stated as “Tippah County’s #1 Publication For Satirical Laughs.”
Various giveaways within the post, such as misspelling Welsh as “Hailey Wellington” and the unrealistic content of the school director’s statement, indicated the fictional aspect of the narrative.
