We’ve seen it before, many, many times. Someone goes viral by pure happenstance, makes it big, and everyone tries to copy their success.

Haliey Welch, the latest internet sensation on account of her viral “Hawk Tuah” interview, is finding that out right now.

Welch’s popularity has grown exponentially since she coined the term during a random street interview that blew up online. And she’s getting paid handsomely for it.

The “Hawk Tuah” Girl might be here to stay as she’s retained Hollywood agents and is believed to be close to landing her own reality TV show.

She judged a bikini contest during a DAER event at the Hard Rock Casino in Hollywood, Florida, this week and, according to TMZ, made $30 K for the appearance.


“Clearly, Haliey’s still getting accustomed to the whole fame thing, even though the fee she received for her first celeb appearance would bring anyone to happy tears. Sources tell us she got around $30K for the gig,” the outlet reported.

Other Women Want In On The “Hawk Tuah”

Videos have been popping up online, with women trying to outdo Haliey and create a viral moment for themselves since she blew up.

You can check one out right below:


Doesn’t quite have ‘Hawk Tuah’ traction, and X/Twitter didn’t love it.

“Hawk Tuah girl was funny and unplanned this is just weird and gross,” a user wrote.

“Please stop making these clowns famous,” said another.

“Did she just call get her b***hole “toothless”?” a third asked.

“This is just gross,,,” someone remarked.

“This has increased the roaring hate in my heart,” another user wrote. 

“No, we’re done. It’s time to stop.” a comment read.

And if you thought that was bad, wait until you see the new “Spit on it” girl, who literally spit on people in her cringeworthy interview. It’s incredibly hard to watch.

A lot of what made “Hawk Tuah” a thing is the fact that it was completely spontaneous. It’s going to be hard recreating such a moment.

Hell, even Haliey would have a hard time.

Luka Doncic ‘destroys’ the Mavs on his return. Gets standing ovation and shows love to Mark Cuban

Luka Doncic hits 45 points in his first game in Dallas since being traded to the Los Angeles.

It’s rare for a home crowd to cheer the visiting team, but Luka Doncic’s return to Dallas was no ordinary night.

Just days before February’s trade deadline, the Mavericks shocked the NBA by sending their 26-year-old superstar to the Lakers—a move that outraged fans and sparked backlash toward GM Nico Harrison.

On Wednesday, Doncic played his first game back in Dallas since the trade. The arena was filled with fans in both his old Mavs and new Lakers jerseys, many chanting “Fire Nico” in protest.

Despite the emotion in the air, Doncic delivered a dominant performance, scoring a game-high 45 points to lead the Lakers to a 112-97 win. It was a powerful return for one of the league’s brightest stars—and a night Dallas won’t soon forget

The Mavericks pay tribute to Luka Dončić

While the Mavericks’ decision to trade Luka Doncic remains heavily criticized, they handled his return to Dallas with undeniable grace. The organization made sure his first game back as a Laker was met with respect and appreciation.

Every seat in the arena was draped with a T-shirt reading “Hvala za vse,” which translates from Slovenian to “thank you for everything.” It was a thoughtful nod to Doncic’s heritage and impact on the franchise.

Before tip-off, during the starting lineup announcements, the Mavericks played a tribute video showcasing some of Doncic’s most iconic moments in a Dallas jersey. The emotional gesture clearly resonated—moving Doncic to tears in front of the crowd that once called him their own.

Luka Doncic ‘DESTROYS’ his old team

Luka delivered a dazzling performance against his former team, putting up 45 points on 16-of-28 shooting, including 7-of-10 from beyond the arc. He also added 8 rebounds6 assists, and 4 steals in a game that showed exactly why he’s one of the best in the league.


From the opening tip, Doncic was locked in. By halftime, Doncic had racked up 31 points on 11-of-16 shooting in just 19 minutes—marking the 10th time in his career he’s scored 30 or more in a single half.

Though his scoring slowed in the second half, he continued to lead effectively, securing both a Lakers win and an unforgettable showing for the fans in Dallas.
