Haliey Welch has spoken out about her involvement in the Hawk Tuah (HAWK) meme coin controversy.

After staying quiet for a period, which she described as a necessary mental health break, Welch shared her thoughts in an interview with Vanity Fair on May 2.

The situation began when Welch promoted a Solana
SOL


$142.69

-based cryptocurrency called Hawk Tuah. The token was launched and quickly reached a market value of $490 million. However, within 15 minutes, the value dropped by 93%, which led to accusations that the project was a rug pull.

Welch expressed regret for her part in the situation. She admitted that she had not fully understood how the cryptocurrency industry worked before agreeing to promote the meme coin. She also shared that seeing people say they lost money because of the project made her feel responsible. She told Vanity Fair,

It was one of those things that just happened, and I feel sorry for everybody that just lost money.

In the interview, Welch also spoke about how the backlash from the HAWK token’s failure affected her mental health. She said, “I hate to say this, but it was a much-needed mental health—just…what do you call it? A mental health break, I guess, is what you can call it.”.

The Hawk Tuah token was created with the involvement of several parties. These included Doc Hollywood, identified in legal documents as Alex Larson Schultz, as well as OverHere Limited, Clinton So, and an organization called the Tuah the Moon Foundation.

Meanwhile, Elon Musk recently called a report from The Wall Street Journal “an EXTREMELY BAD BREACH OF ETHICS.” What happened? Read the full story.

Haliey Welch, also known as the “Hawk Tuah Girl”, has returned to podcasting after months away from the spotlight.

Her Talk Tuah show released its first new episode with YouTuber KSI joining as the first guest.

Welch had kept a low profile following a short-lived crypto project that used her nickname. In December 2024, a Solana
SOL


$134.88

-based meme coin called HAWK, which Welch promoted, briefly hit a market cap of $490 million before crashing by over 90% within minutes.

KSI, whose full name is Olajide Olayinka Williams Olatunji, shares a similar history with crypto-related criticism. Though the two did not directly mention their past involvement in crypto during the episode, both spoke about facing public pressure and criticism.

Olatunji stated, “I’ve been here for so long I’ve had my ups and my downs and my dooooooowns. You’ve just got to roll with the punches and just stay consistent. In this industry, people are going to use and abuse you”.

Welch responded, “I found that out the hard way”.

In 2021, Olatunji faced claims that he promoted crypto tokens like XCAD Network and Ethernity Chain and then quickly sold them off. He has denied these accusations.

Welch confirmed that she cooperated in a civil case against those involved in launching the HAWK token. That lawsuit names crypto launchpad overHERE, its founder Clinton So, influencer Alex “Doc Hollywood” Schultz, and the Tuah the Moon Foundation. Welch is not being sued in that case.

Meanwhile, Welch is set to appear in a new documentary by Bungalow Media, an Emmy-winning production company. What will the film cover? Read the full story.

At first, Welch stayed out of the spotlight. But over time, she chose to take part in the spotlight, using the moment to explore different projects. These included a podcast that reached high chart positions, a dating app, a music project, and a charity called Paws Across America.

In December 2024, Welch also got involved with the Hawk Tuah (HAWK) token. It briefly reached a market value of $490 million before dropping by more than 90% almost immediately.

Welch’s team said she did not sell her portion and that no influencers were given free tokens. Still, several investors have filed lawsuits against the group behind the project.

The documentary will follow the impact of that attention, the reaction from the public, and the larger role social media plays in turning everyday people into online personalities—often without warning.

Furthermore, Welch included a link to the Deadline article about her upcoming documentary on her Instagram account, and her bio describes her as “an influence for good”.

The episode featured Richard “FaZe Banks” Bengtson, the founder of the gaming group FaZe Clan, along with NFT project creator Rohun “Frank” Vora and content creator Threadguy.

The discussion focused on Welch’s experience with launching a meme coin, the issues that arose, and how the situation unfolded.

Welch described how she agreed to the meme coin’s launch but later discovered that the deployer controlled 80% of its supply. Soon after, the token’s value collapsed, which led to a backlash that pushed her offline for months.

At the start of the podcast’s episode, she admitted:

I’m still a little shaken up about it.

The conversation was largely about what went wrong and the legal issues that followed. Welch is currently working with lawyers who have filed a lawsuit against her former partners. She suggested that she did not fully understand what she was getting into, and the guests seemed to agree.

Meanwhile, a group of YouTube content creators known as the Nelk Boys recently faced a lawsuit. What happened? Read the full story.
