Radio personality Howard Stern has evolved from his wild past and now presents a more conservative persona. Recently, on his SiriusXM show, he shared his thoughts on Hailey Welsh, also known as the ‘Hawk Tuah’ girl. Hailey gained popularity online for a viral Youtube video where she provided explicit instructions on performing fellatio. The video garnered widespread attention, leading to her dismissal from a school job and the sale of merchandise related to the viral moment. While some embraced Hailey, others, like Howard Stern, expressed disapproval of the video’s virality.
Not surprisingly, many parents disapproved of Hailey’s video and actions, showcasing a conservative response. Howard Stern, as a father himself, echoed these sentiments on his show, stating, “As a dad myself of three girls that’s every father’s worst nightmare to see her on Instagram going ‘yeah you’ve got to hawk tuah on that f****** thing’. I’m on Instagram not much but that hawk tuah girl is everywhere. I think if I am analyzing it, the reason people like it so much is the girl is so uninhibited and it’s just so natural when she says it. It’s like she didn’t even think about. ‘My kid is Insta famous she’s the hawk tuah girl.‘”
Howard Stern’s Evolution
To comprehend the apparent hypocrisy in Howard Stern’s criticism, a look back at his controversial past as a radio host is necessary. At the peak of his career, Stern featured porn stars riding a sybian live on air, facing scrutiny from the SEC for his language. Despite this, Stern remained unapologetic. His shift in perspective concerning Hailey indicates a detachment from his previous persona, drawing criticism from those who believe he should have refrained from commenting.
