Industry buzz is that Hollywood has its eye on “Hawk Tuah Girl” — a curiously charismatic woman who shot to viral fame a week or so ago after evocatively advising the internet on the secret to giving good oral pleasure. Sources even say that she’s been talking with UTA, arguably Tinseltown’s most powerful firm. But a rep at UTA told us that is “untrue.”
Still, prepare for a book (“Great Expectorations”?), a movie (“Black Hawk … Down”?), an album (“Blame It On The Loogie” by her band, Was Snot Was?) and a live experience (The Hawk Tour?) in the near future.
The phlegm fatale — who got her onomatopoeic nickname because of her slippery suggestion, but has since been identified as Hailey Welch — has already finagled her own merch deal with Tennessee company Fathead Threads. It’s selling signed, embroidered “Hawk Tuah” hats for $43.70.
The phrase got yet more attention over the weekend after a fan audibly praised a Bryson DeChambeau shot at the LIV Golf tournament over the weekend with the salival salute.
Meanwhile, Howard Stern addressed the matter on his show, saying, “How could you not [be aware of her]? I’m not on Instagram that much, but every other clip is the ‘Hawk Tuah Girl,’” he said. “I think if I’m analyzing it, the reason people like it so much, the girl, first of all, is so uninhibited and it’s just so natural when she says it — she doesn’t even think about it.”
He added, “And then, as a dad myself of three girls, that’s every father’s worst nightmare.”
