Hawk Tuah girl Haliey Welch resurfaces to address her meme coin fiasco, only to get roasted by the internet
TikTok star Haliey Welch has finally broken her silence on the failed launch of her meme coin Hawk Tuah. Unfortunately for her, the internet didn’t exactly welcome her back with open arms. In fact, it seems like most people are having a field day at her expense.
It all started when Welch released a statement addressing the controversy surrounding the HAWK token’s sharp price drop and investor losses exceeding $151,000. The social media influencer took to Twitter to apologize and assure everyone that she’s fully cooperating with legal teams to uncover the truth and hold responsible parties accountable for their actions.
However, it seems like Welch’s attempt at damage control only fueled more backlash from the internet. Her statement was met with a mix of memes, jokes, and downright frustration. The public is not happy about being left high and dry by her involvement in the meme coin project.
The online community is having none of it, with many users calling out Welch for seemingly abandoning ship when things went south. “Ma’am, you have exactly zero fans after you robbed everyone,” tweeted one user, while another joked that she should “have fun in prison, where you belong.”
It’s not all bad, though – some users are still holding on to hope. One Twitter user, @greg16676935420, poked fun at Welch’s decision to sleep through the controversy, saying “Good morning Haliey I hope you slept well.” Another, @pudgypenguins, tried to be kind by asking how her nap was – only to follow it up with a tongue-in-cheek comment about her having no fans left.
The real question now is whether Welch’s silence and subsequent apology have enough credibility to salvage her reputation. It seems unlikely that she’ll regain the trust of those who lost money on HAWK, but perhaps this might be an opportunity for her to learn from her mistakes and grow as a public figure.
As it stands, it looks like Welch will need to dig deep and find ways to win back the trust of her audience.
