Haliey Welch's Pets

Haliey Welch gained widespread attention in June 2024 after a street interview in Nashville, Tennessee, where she coined the viral catchphrase “hawk tuah” during a YouTube video by Tim & Dee TV. The phrase, referring to spitting during oral sex, quickly became a meme across social media, leading Welch to create a significant online presence. She founded a company, trademarked the catchphrase, launched a merchandise line, and began making paid appearances. On August 15, 2024, she threw the ceremonial first pitch at a New York Mets game and launched the podcast “Talk Tuah” under Betr media, co-founded by Jake Paul.
