Haliey Welch,known to the Internet as the viral "hawk tuah" girl, is giving her followers an update on life amid her newfound social media fame.
In the wake of the success of her NSFW man-on-the-street interview, which has even led her to rub shoulders with the likes of Shaquille O'Neal and Zach Bryan, Welch shared a video to Instagram earlier this week, detailing some "awesome" and not-so-great things she's dealing with now.
Among the things that haven't been so great, in addition to dealing with imposter accounts on social media, Welch requested that people stop asking if she has an OnlyFans account.
"Stop asking me for the link in bio for my OnlyFans," she said. "I don't have an OnlyFans and there will never be an OnlyFans."
"I just make funny jokes," Welch added. "That's all I do."
As for the things that have been "awesome," Welch said she was able to "get over" her "stage fright" with the help of Bryan, whom she recently performed with at Nissan Stadium in Nashville.
"I sang in front of 80,000 people with Zach Bryan the other night," she said in the clip. "And I can't sing for s---. But I did it anyway."
She also mentioned that she quit her job at a bed spring factory, something she already revealed in an interview withBrianna LaPagliaon thePlan Bri Uncutpodcast.

In the clip, Welch was asked about "one move in bed that makes a man go crazy every time," before she gave her now-famous line: "Oh you gotta give him that 'hawk tuah.' "
“I was being a bit of a smart a-- too, 'cause like you’re gonna come up to me with a microphone and ask me something like that?" she said during the podcast interview. "I didn’t mean nothing by it at the time."
As for the future, with all the buzz surrounding her, Welch told LaPaglia during their interview last week that she intends to move to Los Angeles. (Earlier this month, The Hollywood Reporterconfirmed that Welch signed with management firm The Penthouse.
But as she revealed on Instagram, she plans to take action after seeing all of the counterfeit merch that's been made in her likeness.
