The rumours behind the Hawk Tuah girl's fame have been exposed in a new viral video.
If you've been living under a rock the past year, the 'Hawk Tuah girl' went viral after a street interview where she was asked: “What’s one move in bed that makes a man go crazy every time?”
Her famous reply became: "You gotta Hawk Tuah and spit on that thang."

And that girl, real name Haliey Welch, has been milking the fame by releasing her own merchandise, AI-powered dating app and now her 'meme coin' cryptocurrency.
However, have you heard of the saying: don't bite the hand that feeds?
Well, this was the case as the creators of the Hawk Tuah video, YouTubers Tim and Dee, have come forward to reveal some truths about her rise to fame.
Despite the duo's interview with her blowing up the internet hours after it was posted, things turned sour after Welch claimed she didn’t owe them a thank you.

And in one of the many interviews following, she also alleged that the YouTubers were the ones who approached her on the night in question.
"That's not how that happened," the creators explained in their video posted by Tim & Dee TV, They added that it was in fact Welch who 'most definitely walked across the street to us' - not the other way around.
Tim and Dee also shared screenshots of Instagram messages to clear up more misconceptions.
Welch had previously claimed that Tim and Dee reached out to her friend Chelsea for more content, but the messages show Chelsea initiated contact first.

In the DMs, Chelsea seemed open to collaboration at first - one that involved $10,000 and a cut of merch sales - writing that Welch “would be down for more” but later unsent the message.
Instead, she sent a passive-aggressive reply accusing Tim and Dee of 'doing them dirty' by posting the video and mentioning that she and Welch were going to 'do their own thing.'
Even more damning, later messages revealed Chelsea admitting to coming up to Tim and Dee that night.

Tim and Dee’s video exposing the drama has been out for less than 24 hours but the internet is already buzzing and the comments are flooding in.

"Wickedness doesnt last long yall will outlast her in the long run, keep going," added another.
A third viewer chimed in, replying: "I’m thankful you guys are exposing her".
