Hawk Tuah Girl, real name Hailey Welch has been called out by Twitch streamer Asmongold who says that her meme coin disaster will end her career and she may find herself in jail
Hawk Tuah Girl’s “career” might be over after her crypto currency venture ended in disaster, it has been claimed.
The social media sensation who rose to fame overnight when she re-enacted a sex act in a viral video, known as Hawk Tuah Girl, real name Hailey Welch, dipped her toes into the world of crypto. She launched her ‘meme coin’, which she aptly named HAWK, but it fell flat on its face within hours, falling millions in value and costing a lot of people a lot of money.
The creators of the coin, which was offered similarly to Bitcoin as an investment opportunity, are now facing a lawsuit and the online icon is caught up in the middle of it.
Streamer Asmongold, who has a following of over 5m, discussed the situation on December 21 while streaming on Twitch. After reading out Hawk’s official statement he answered questions from viewers and gave his thoughts on the situation.
Asmongold began: “She apparently is dealing with a legal team now because of how badly she f***ed this thing up, which is really f***ing funny for me to see this.
“”Complete damage control. It’s absolute and complete damage control. 100% that’s what’s happening,” he said, adding, “‘She’s going to put herself in jail.’ She is.”
“Was it really her fault?’ It was something that she was responsible for. And so, whether it was her fault is something to be decided in the court. But, if you think of it in the eyes of the public, was she at fault in the eyes of the public? The answer to that is abso-f***ing-lutely.
“Why did she allow her name to be used? Yeah and she promoted it, she went crazy with this stuff,” the Twitch stream continued.
Asmongold added: “I do feel like this is probably the end of the Hawk Tuah girl. The 15 minutes of fame have already, you know, kind of extended their welcome and worn out their welcome. I think people have been pretty much looking forward to this. And, yeah, this is it.”
A class-action lawsuit was filed by investors against Overhere Ltd, the company behind the project, and Alex Larson Schultz, one of the promoters of $Hawk, on December 19. Welch’s statement on December 20, was also the first time the creator had posted to social media since December 4.
Her statement read: “I take this situation extremely seriously and want to address my fans, the investors who have been affected, and the broader community. I am fully cooperating with and am committed to assisting the legal team representing the individuals impacted, as well as to help uncover the truth, hold the responsible parties accountable, and resolve this matter. If you have experienced losses related to this, please contact Burwick Law.”
