“I TOLD YOU something was not right….It made no sense for her to screw over her fans. I hope everyone is made whole,” someone wrote.

Haliey Welch Files Class Action Lawsuit
The law firm named in Haliey’s tweet has filed a class action lawsuit against the creators of the $HAWK coin.
They have also suggested that the “Hawk Tuah” Girl was a victim as she was fed bad information by people who were simply trying to take advantage of her viral success.
Haliey is expected to return to regular programming once she clears her name.
