'Hawk Tuah' girl Haliey Welch resurfaces and is immediately roasted by the internet

Haliey Welch, aka the "Hawk Tuah Girl," has resurfaced with a public statement after a controversy over her memecoin $HAWK.

In case you missed it, Welch disappeared from public view for weeks after it appeared the launch of her cryptocurrency was a rug-pull in which some her fans were left in a financial hole. Mashable's Matt Binder covered in detail the controversy and Welch's subsequent disappearance.

But Welch finally resurfaced on Friday with a statement promising to help those who were financially affected.

"I take this situation extremely seriously and want to address my fans, the investors who have been affected, and the broader community," she wrote in a statement posted to X. "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."
