The viral ‘Hawk Tuah’ girl is reportedly in talks to capitalize on her viral fame as major Hollywood talent agencies scramble to represent her.
Hailey Welch, whose raw sex tips circulated widely across the Internet this week, is attracting the attention of industry insiders – one of the most influential celeb agencies in the country.
Sources said TMZ that she has yet to put pen to paper with any agency, but agents are reportedly vying to represent the foul-mouthed influencer.
Although she hasn’t signed yet, Welch wasted no time in cashing in on her stardom and has started selling autographed merchandise, including ‘spit on that thang’ hats.
Hailey Welch, whose raw sex tips circulated widely on the Internet this week, is the subject of Hollywood interest as rumors swirl that she may sign with a talent agency
Although she isn’t represented yet, Welch wasted no time in capitalizing on her newfound fame, and has started selling autographed merchandise, including “spit on that thang” hats.
According to Page Six, United Talent Agency (UTA) is circling to represent Welch — though it’s unclear in what capacity she’s promoting herself after her viral fame.
However, the agency has denied having Welch as a signatory as rumors swirled that Donald Trump’s former literary agent Bryd Leavell would take her on as a client.
While Welch has yet to join players like Timothee Chalamet and Kevin Hart on UTA’s roster, she has signed a deal with a merchandise company.
Tennessee-based hat company Fathead Threads started selling a line of merchandise with its signature slogan on the front before the summer.
“I was given permission to sell these hats after speaking with Hailey. She will receive a portion of the profits from the sales,” Jason Poteete of Fathead Threads shared on Facebook.
Welch was later seen signing some of the hats, which cost as much as $43 per brim.

Welch has become an overnight star following her profanity-laden street interview, in which she was questioned in bed about her preferences.
Social media has since been flooded with “Hawk Tuah” memes, including an image of two men wearing hockey jerseys with the phrase on their backs with the caption “This city is alive.”
Others show Welch’s face replacing Tony Hawk on the cover of his PlayStation game, while another edited her into a scene from the Lion King with the caption ‘Hawk Tuah Matata’.
“I like every Hawk Tuah video and meme,” another X user commented on a video of elderly people robotically playing slot machines.
Another meme edited a video game cartridge into the viral moment with the caption “when your game wouldn’t start.”
