When asked what her parents think of her viral crude comment, Welch said they find it comical
Welch initially isolated herself in rural Tennessee where she lives with her family. Her friends and family built a protective wall around her to shield her from the publicity.
She also revealed some of the disgusting offers she’s had since being thrust into the spotlight.
‘So, the guy that does my hats, he got offered $600 three days ago for me to spit in a jar and sell it,’ Welch said.
She added: ‘That is revolting! That is just disgusting, is it not?’
Lapaglia quizzed the rising star on who her celebrity crush is in a game called ‘Hawk Tuah or Nah.’
The influencer first asked Welch what she thought of her country singer boyfriend, telling Welch to ‘be careful.’
Welch and Chelsea Bradford, the proud friend that stood next to her in the viral clip, both broke out in laughter before telling Lapaglia: ‘I love you, but hawk tuah.’
Welch became famous for an interview she did on June 19 in which she used the term ‘Hawk Tuah’ to describe a sexual act
The pair went on to show interest in Morgan Wallen, but did not know who Tampa Bay Buccaneers Wide Receiver Antonio Brown was.
They initially didn’t recognize Dave Portnoy, the the owner of Barstool Sports, but after Lapaglia showed them a picture they gave him a ‘Hawk.’
Welch and Bradford were also reluctant when asked about professional boxer and Youtuber Jake Paul, but when asked about former President Donald Trump, they immediately said no.
Although the limelight quickly caught up to Welch, she admitted that she doesn’t want to be known as the Hawk Tuah girl forever.
She explained that when she was interviewed by Tim & Dee TV she thought she would never see the video again.
‘Then I go back like an hour later and the views done went up like a million and I was like “Oh my God, there is no way that just happened,’ Welch explained.
Lapaglia then asked the internet sensation how she felt as being known as the Hawk Tuah girl, something Welch said she doesn’t want to be called for the rest of her life.
She then got into the many fake social media accounts made that pretended to be her, but she claims she deleted her accounts months before the video.
Welch also debunked rumors about where she and her family worked. The internet initially said that Welch was a school teacher that was fired after the video came out, and that her father was a preacher.
‘I worked in a spring factory, I’m not a school teacher,’ she said.
‘My father is so far from a preacher, it’s crazy.’
