Haliey Welch has detailed her fall from grace in a tell-all interview following her return to your screens after going dark for several months.

America fell out of love with Welch as quickly as it had fallen in love with her after her viral “Hawk Tuah” moment. She owes that to a memecoin rug pull that left investors out hundreds of thousands.

Welch disappeared from the internet shortly after the coin’s failed launch, but is back to tell her story.

She explained what happened on the day of the launch in an interview with Andrew Callaghan of Channel 5, suggesting she was left in the dark.

“The day the coin launched I actually had, I think two podcasts that day and the guy that was in the room with us, the one who was like operating the coin we noticed he was like pacing around everywhere, acting nervous,” Welch said.

She added:

“After we finished all the podcasts everybody went out the room and looked concerned and I’m like what is going on? I don’t understand what’s happened? They said oh nothing don’t worry about it. I pull up my TikTok and the next thing I know there’s all these posts saying I’m going to jail.”

The SEC has since cleared the influencer, but her reputation remains in tatters.

Haliey admits she was traumatized by the whole thing, but was fully cooperative with the authorities. She even handed her phone over for several days.

“After everything got figured out… I took every step you’re supposed to take, I was cooperative with the FBI and SEC,” she continued. “I even sent my phone off for days and had everything searched, the SEC cleared me.”

“This traumatised me, I wouldn’t come out of the house for like months,” she revealed.

Welch also addressed claims that she now runs an OnlyFans account.

While she does shop private content, it’s from a whole other platform.

Fearne Cotton has broken her silence on split from husband Jesse Wood in her first TV interview since the breakup.

Fearne announced her split from Jesse, the son of Rolling Stones bass guitarist Ronnie Wood, in December after 10 years of marriage.

She has since made swipes at Jesse and moved on with TV director Elliot Hegarty, with the pair having been seen kissing during a recent night out.

Fearne has had a difficult few months after undergoing surgery to remove two benign tumours from her jawline, just days before her split with Jesse emerged.

She told host Lorraine: ‘It’s all very amicable and kids are doing great. I am in a very good place.’place.’

Discussing her recent surgery, she added: ‘I feel very grateful to have completely recovered.

‘I feel really good. I have a lot of people reaching out who have had the same thing.’

Davina McCall, 56, announced in November she’d been diagnosed with a colloid cyst, a rare type of benign brain tumour, and has supported Fearne.

She continued: ‘Everyone needs a Davina. She’s been amazing, weird that we had the same health thing going on at the same time. She’s so calming and we speak every day. She is just the best

It comes after Fearne has seemingly made another thinly-veiled dig at her ex-husband as she gushed that she is the happiest she’s ever been in a positive update.

Speaking to Scott Mills on his BBC Radio 2 breakfast show, Fearne gushed that she is ‘really happy’ and is ‘springing out of bed in the morning ready for life’.

Scott, who has known Fearne for 25 years, said he has never seen her ‘more positive or happier’, prompting Fearne to agree and reply: ‘Yeah I feel great!’

She told how her health scare has changed her outlook and said she has been seeking comfort from Davina.
