Haliey Welch has released a statement following a class action lawsuit being filed amid the controversy surrounding the launch of her $HAWK memecoin.
Haliey, known as the “Hawk Tuah” Girl, is being accused of conning her fans with a pump-and-dump scheme that cost investors a whole lot of money while others reportedly made off with millions.
The Tennessee native has denied wrongdoing, initially claiming no tokens were sold or given out prior to the launch and insisting her team tried to stop snipers.

Hawkanomics:
Team hasn’t sold one token and not 1 KOL was given 1 free token
We tried to stop snipers as best we could through high fee’s in the start of launch on @MeteoraAG
Fee’s have now been dropped pic.twitter.com/E7xN9VmCrx

Haliey Welch Has Reached Out To Fans And Investors
Following a silent period in the wake of the controversial launch, Haliey Welch has made another statement, revealing that she is committed to helping everyone who was impacted.
“I take this situation extremely seriously and want to address my fans, the investors who have been affected, and the broader community. I am fully cooperating with and am committed to assisting the legal team representing the individuals impacted, as well as to help uncover the truth, hold the responsible parties accountable, and resolve this matter. If you have experienced losses related to this, please contact Burwick Law using the link below: https://www.burwick.law/newclient.”
A PR firm acting on behalf of Burwick Law told TotalProSports that Haliey did not create the coin and only received a sponsorship fee for “lending her persona to those that created and deployed the memecoin, $HAWK.”
“Outside of the initial fixed fee received before the launch, there was no guarantee she would make any additional money from the memecoin thereafter,” they added.
The firm also noted that Welch was not included in any parts of the project and had no control but received “incorrect advice” from the creators who were only interested in taking advantage of her success.
Burwick Law has filed a class action lawsuit against the creators of $HAWK.
Kansas City Chiefs President Forced To Address Rumors That Taylor Swift & Travis Kelce’s Relationship Is Just A “Marketing Strategy” For The Team
There’s a conspiracy theory for just about everything, including bizarre ones relating to the highly publicized relationship between Grammy Award-winning singer Taylor Swift and Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce.
The three-time Super Bowl champion has been in a relationship with Taylor Swift for over a year. Their rumored romance was confirmed when Swift attended the Chiefs’ Week 3, 2023 home game against the Chicago Bears at Arrowhead Stadium.
Kelce’s romance with Swfit has been a giant win for the Chiefs and the NFL, too. She has brought plenty more attention to the NFL and contributed to the Chiefs’ skyrocketing popularity worldwide.
Naturally, conspiracy theorists believe the Travis Kelce-Taylor Swift romance is simply a marketing ploy to help the Chiefs and the league. But Chiefs president Mark Donovan finally addressed the ridiculous rumor during an appearance on NBC’s “Squawk Box” program:
“I’d love to say that it was a marketing strategy, but it is an authentic relationship. And we’re happy to have it, and it’s been nothing but good for us.
I think the best thing I can say about the whole relationship and the impact it’s had on us is, Taylor Swift is an authentic member of the Kansas City Chiefs kingdom. She’s an authentic fan and that matters to our fans and our fan base and to matters to us and we try to respect that.”
