Hawk Tuah girl breaks silence on whether she’s facing charges after her controversy

Haliey Welch, AKA the infamous Hawk Tuah girl, is back—and she’s got a lot to say. After lying low for months following her crypto disaster, the viral sensation has finally broken her silence, and everyone is eager to know: Is the queen of chaos really ready to make a comeback?

For those who missed it (lucky you), Hawk Tuah girl, Haliey went from viral sensation to crypto scandal after launching her $HAWK meme coin in late 2024. The coin soared to a ridiculous $490 million market cap, only to crash down by over 90 per cent in mere hours, leaving her viewers—and some with less-than-healthy bank accounts—shocked and pissed off. The backlash was brutal as people complained about losing their life savings. Yes, really. One person even posted about losing a whopping $35,000, and the internet was not kind.

But now, Haliey’s back—and she’s not shying away from the controversy. In a video posted to Instagram, she teased her return, calling it her “comeback,” and people are losing it.

She reveals all about the $HAWK crypto flop on her podcast

On her podcast, Talk Tuah with Haliey Welch, Haliey’s now addressing the mess head-on. She’s opened up about the mistakes she made, admitting the $HAWK token’s pre-sale was a “problem,” and that there was a serious lack of transparency. Her viewers were not impressed, to say the least. Still, she owned up to her errors and expressed remorse. Haliey even admitted that her boyfriend lost money, too—and yep, he still gives her grief about it. Oof.

But before you think she’s some crypto expert gone rogue, let’s remember: This wasn’t just a shady business venture. The SEC launched an investigation after the coin’s spectacular crash, but Haliey dodged the legal bullet—no charges, no fines. Phew, right? But here’s the catch: Even though she’s not facing any legal action, the damage to her rep was done.

So, what is she up to now?

Haliey’s lawyer made it clear that she won’t be facing charges for the $HAWK disaster, so technically, she’s free to do whatever she wants in the world of crypto, even though sources close to her say she’s totally done with that world. But don’t worry, Haliey’s got other things in the works, including the possibility of a damn documentary about everything that went down. Because, let’s be real, the drama of the past few months? TV gold.

With her new comeback tease, it looks like Haliey’s going full speed ahead, despite everything. Her viewers are definitely here for it: “The Queen is back!” one wrote on her post. We’ll see about that.
