Ever since she went viral, rumors have abounded about Hailey Welch, the Hawk Tuah girl. One of the sadder and more concerning is the claim that she lost her job as a preschool teacher because of the risqué meme. The Facebook post the rumor originated from claimed that the Hawk Tuah girl was fired as a teacher because of the obscene nature of her comments, but is there any truth to this claim, and is teaching really her job?
Was the Hawk Tuah girl a teacher, and did she get fired for the meme?
The Hawk Tuah girl wasn’t a teacher, and the Facebook post claiming that she was fired from a preschool for her “relationship advice” is from a satirical account called Tippah County Tribune. While the post itself isn’t marked as satire, the page proclaims that it’s “Tippah County’s #1 Publication For Satirical Laughs.”
Not only does the post incorrectly identify the Hawk Tuah girl’s occupation, but it also contains various other incorrect facts about her. Facts like her age and last name are also erroneous. However, subtleties like her supposedly working at “Epstein Day School” give away that it’s facetious.
So, no, the Hawk Tuah girl didn’t get fired for her viral comments. She was never a teacher, and the entire rumor is made up.
What’s the Hawk Tuah girl’s job?
The Hawk Tuah girl is currently unemployed. She quit her job in the wake of her social media fame and is currently making a living riding the wave of popularity she’s experiencing.
Before the viral meme propelled her into the public light, Welch worked in a Spring Factory. Rumors about her being either a school teacher or a bartender are unfounded.
As of this writing, Welch has signed with a management team and plans to become a full-time influencer. She already has merch deals in place and has said, “I think we’re going to do a show, and we’ll be on a bunch of podcasts and everything in between. There’s more to come.”
