Intersection of Social Media and Sexuality in Modern Culture - Case of Hailey Welch "Hawk Tuah" Girl

 

If it wasn't for the idiocy of social media, we wouldn't know who Hailey Welch is. Welch is the "hawk tuah" girl who became a viral sensation, for her vocal rendition of spitting on engorged cock. Now Only Fans wants her to set up a page so she can presumably defraud millions of cock suckers,

Welch also appeared on Bill Maher's Club Random podcast. Maher has said that p*** warps the minds of kids. [Not to mention adults].

Warped or not, Welch shot to fame because of p***.  After she was stopped by podcasters Tim and Dee during a night on the town in Nashville, Tennessee, she was asked: "What's one move in bed that makes a man go crazy every time?" Welch replied: "You gotta give 'em that 'hawk tuah' and spit on that thing."

Welch, 23, from Belfast, Tennessee, has since made several public appearances, including judging a bikini contest in Florida—for which she was reportedly paid $30,000.

During the latest episode of Maher's Club Random podcast, Maher gave Welch tips on how to capitalize on her newfound celebrity status. The 68-year-old suggested she consider broadcasting, specifically, a career as a "sex expert."

"Because you have already a platform," Maher said.

"You need to do a podcast, you do it right here on Club Random, if you do it my way, sex expert.

"I'll tell you why. You were given the chip of fame, now you want to trade that in for something that uses that but takes it to the next level. You have to trade on what you're already known for. That's the one thing you're known for."

"You have to take it seriously," Maher continued. "Talk about sex, but serious, serious issues, because there are a lot of really serious issues. There's one that's related to what made you famous.

"P*** is not benign," he added. "It has warped the minds of the kids in your generation, especially the guys."

"Yeah, they come up with some sick shit," Welch said in agreement.

Newsweek reached out to representatives for Bill Maher and Haliey Welch for comment via email.

Alongside her paid public appearances, Welch is rumored to have filed trademarks for "Hawk Tuah Sauce" and "Bet on That Thang"—the name of a proposed sports betting service—according to TMZ.

She has also hired a lawyer and a manager, as well as set up an Instagram account (@hay_welch) that has already racked up over 2 million followers.

Welch has been fighting off requests to start an OnlyFans account. In a video to Instagram on July 3, Welch made it clear that she will "never" set one up.

"Stop asking me for the link in bio for my OnlyFans," she said.

"I don't have an OnlyFans and there will never be an OnlyFans. I just—I just make funny jokes, that's all I do."
