Haliey Welch, known as the "Hawk Tuah" girl, set the record straight on rumors about her job as a school teacher. The 21-year-old clarified on the "Plan Bri Uncut" podcast that she actually worked in a spring factory, not as an educator. Welch debunked online claims that she was a bartender and that her father was a preacher. Despite her viral fame for a risque interview about oral sex, Welch hopes to move past the "Hawk Tuah" persona and build a career in entertainment. She plans to travel to Los Angeles and New York, star on a show, and appear on podcasts. Welch shared her family's supportive reaction to her newfound fame and had a jam session with Shaquille O'Neal at Jon Bon Jovi's Nashville restaurant.
