Viral internet star Haliey Welch has resurfaced for the first time in weeks, less than 24 hours after Mashable published a report on her disappearance following the failure of her "Hawk Tuah" branded memecoin $HAWK.

$HAWK launched on December 4 at 5 pm EST. According to analysis from TRM Labs, it had an initial market capitalization of $490. Within a matter of hours, the value plummeted by 91% and the market cap dropped to $41.7 million. About 10 days later, the value of the token was essentially zero.

Haliey Welch, more commonly known as Hawk Tuah, broke her weeks-long silence on Friday morning, announcing that she is “fully cooperating” with the legal team suing the individuals responsible after the nosedive of her newly launched meme coin, $HAWK.

The murky group behind “Hawk Tuah” girl Haliey Welch’s meme coin — which crashed hours after its launch — was sued by investors for failing to register the cryptocurrency, according to court records filed Thursday.

A woman funnily answered a sexual question during a street interview, and the viral 'Hawk Tuah' TikTok girl was born.

A former prosecutor said that Haliey Welch is distancing herself as much as possible from the crash of the Hawk Tuah memecoin.
