Haliey Welch – the 21-year-old who has recently catapulted to viral fame as the Hawk Tuah Girl – has signed with The PENTHOUSE for worldwide exclusive management.
The PENTHOUSE’s Founder Jonnie Forster says, “the world’s gone crazy for Haliey! I’m glad our team can help guide this rocketship. All the podcasters are right, spend five minutes with her and you’ll see why she is America’s Sweetheart.”
“Please don’t wake me. Two weeks ago it was just my Granny and me in itty bitty Belfast, Tennessee. Then, I say something silly, and now my life has changed. Isn’t God great?! Can’t wait for what’s ahead,” adds Welch.
After a whirlwind media storm, which included headlines from Rolling Stone, The Cut, New York Post and more, Welch joined Barstool’s Plan Bri Podcast for her first official interview, dispelling the internet narratives around her viral video (watch here).
There’s confusion about who Welch is online, but this week, Welch, who has not had her own social media accounts for six months, launched her official channels recapping her appearance at Zach Bryan’s Nissan Stadium Show (June 29). Today (July 2), she shared collaboration posts with Brianna LaPaglia (aka Brianna Chickenfry).
Additionally, Welch has retained Nashville entertainment attorney Christian Barker of Christian Barker & Co. for representation. Barker added: “Haliey has risen to fame with her cheeky humor–known to her friends as the female Theo Vonn, but after getting to know her on a greater level, I think her small-town, grassroots story and how a chance encounter on Broadway took her on this unexpected path to stardom will resonate with millions. We are proud to represent her on this journey.”
Welch is represented by The Penthouse, Christian Barker & Co., and Shore Fire Media. Stay tuned for more from Welch in the coming weeks.
