Internet star Haliey Welch, also known as the “Hawk Tuah Girl,” said Friday she is “fully cooperating” with attorneys who are representing people impacted by the recent crash of crypto meme coin $HAWK. Welch helped launch the cryptocurrency, named after her viral catchphrase, earlier this month. Within hours after the digital coin was made available, its price plummeted and the 22-year-old influencer faced accusations that it was a scam. In a post on X on Friday, Welch responded to the lawsuit, urging those who “experienced losses related to this” to contact the law firm Burwick PLLC. In the days leading up to the $HAWK’s launch, she promoted it in several posts on X.
