Warning: If you’re talented and unrepresented, this is going to hurt.
Page Six hears the “Hawk Tuah Girl” — a curiously charismatic woman who shot to viral fame a week or so ago after evocatively advising the Internet on the secret to giving good oral pleasure — has signed an “all areas” deal with talent giant UTA.
So prepare for a book (“Great Expectorations”?), a movie (“Black Hawk… Down”?), an album (“Blame It On The Loogie” by her band, Was Snot Was?) and a live experience (The Hawk Tour?) in the near future.
According to an insider, the phlegm fatale — who got her onomatopoeic nickname because of her slippery suggestion but has since been identified as Hailey Welch — is being handled by literary power agent Byrd Leavell, who also represents, er, President Trump and Cat Marnell.
It seems that Welch — who dispensed her balls of wisdom on a TikTok on-the-street-interviews account — has already finagled her own merch deal with Tennessee company Fathead Threads. They’re selling signed, embroidered “Hawk Tuah” hats are for $43.70.
The phrase got yet more attention over the weekend after a fan audibly praised a Bryson DeChambeau shot at the LIV Golf tournament over the weekend with the salival salute.
Meanwhile, Howard Stern addressed the matter on his show, saying, “How could you not [be aware of her]? I’m not on Instagram that much, but every other clip is the ‘Hawk Tuah Girl,’” he said, “I think if I’m analyzing it, the reason people like it so much, the girl, first of all, is so uninhibited and it’s just so natural when she says it — she doesn’t even think about it.”
He added, “And then, as a dad myself of three girls, that’s every father’s worst nightmare.”
Leavell and a rep for UTA didn’t get back to us.
