Hailey Welch reportedly sells X account after viral fame as Hawk Tuah Girl
Hailey Welch, widely known as the "Hawk Tuah Girl" after her viral rise to internet fame in 2024, is back in the spotlight—this time for reportedly selling her X (formerly Twitter) account. The page, once personal and linked to Welch, has now been rebranded as "Up Only Memes," with a new profile image and direction, catching the attention of her nearly 400,000 followers.
The sudden transformation raised questions, especially after two new tweets appeared on July 9. One was a playful reference to memes, while the other cryptically stated, “What the helly,” alongside a screenshot of someone offering $325,000 to purchase an X account. It remains unclear whether these posts came from Welch as parting shots or from a new owner signaling a shift in content.
Meanwhile, the account—which now boasts nearly 400,000 followers—shows only four tweets. Of those, two date back to Welch’s time managing the page (July 27, 2024, and March 28, 2025), while the other two—posted on July 9—suggest a new and possibly chaotic direction. The disappearance of previous tweets has fueled theories and confusion among longtime fans.
Gotta pay those legal bills somehow
Social media users wasted no time reacting. Some joked that Welch might be “paying legal bills,” while others saw it as either a smart business move or a digital stunt. “She might be the best one-hit wonder of all time,” one user commented. Another called it, “the greatest scam.”
Whether this is a strategic exit, a brand pivot, or something else entirely, Welch’s digital footprint continues to spark viral interest and online debate—proving once again that internet fame rarely fades quietly.
