No, the ‘Hawk Tuah’ Girl Doesn’t Have an Agent (Yet)

If you were excited to read Hawk Tuah: My Wet and Wild Life, you might have to keep waiting. Contrary to reports, “Hawk Tuah” girl Hailey Welch has not signed with a Hollywood agent off one viral drunken comment. Welch made online rounds last week for her … animated … answer when asked for a move “that makes a man go crazy every time” in a video on Nashville’s Lower Broadway. “Oh, you gotta give him that hawk tuah! and spit on that thing,” Welch said — miming it, too, as if she weren’t vivid enough.

Welch has been quick to capitalize on her moment, collaborating with her interviewers, Tim and Dee TV, on a line of merch. (Side note: Shouldn’t it be “hock tuah”? Like you hock a loogie? Anyway.) Even so, many were surprised when “Page Six” reported that Welch had signed with a literary agent at UTA known for working with Cat Marnell and Donald Trump. But TMZ quickly spit on those rumors, reporting that Welch’s signing was “overblown,” and “Page Six” since corrected their story to simply say agencies are “eyeing” her. So no, they’re not representing just anybody yet — though TMZ also left the possibility open that someone else could sign Welch in the future. Sorry to everybody who still can’t get an agent to read their script.
