'Hawk Tuah Girl' draws angry reaction from fans for first pitch at Mets game: 'Awful decision'


'What were they thinking? Be better than this'


The famed "Hawk Tuah Girl" was the New York Mets' special guest Thursday, throwing out the first pitch ahead of their game.

Last month, she reportedly raked in $30,000 to make an appearance at a south Florida pool club, fittingly in a Tua Tagovailoa shirsey.

On Thursday, she put her athletic skills to the test, taking the mound for a day game between the Mets and Oakland Athletics.

Welch's appearance drew quite a reaction.

"So the Mets decided to get the Hawk Tuah Girl to throw out the 1st pitch for a summer ‘camp day’ day game where the vast majority of fans are 11 year old kids at the ballpark on camp trips. Seriously what were they thinking? Be better than this," one user wrote on X.

What's New​

Investors are suing people associated with a cryptocurrency launched by Hawk Tuah Girl Hailey Welch, following the crash of the memecoin named after her.

It lost more than 95 percent of its value in a single day when it was released on December 4. Lawyers for the investors wrote in their December 19 court filing that the lawsuit "arises from the unlawful promotion and sale of the Hawk Tuah cryptocurrency memecoin, known as the "$HAWK" token (the "Token" or "$HAWK"), which Defendants offered and sold to the public without proper registration."

Named in the suit are: Tuah The Moon Foundation, which was used to handle money taken in from the sale of the meme coin, and the coin's creator, OverHere Ltd and its executive, Clinton So and the meme coin's Los Angeles-based promoter, Alex Larson Schultz.

Newsweek sought email comment on Thursday from Welch; Tuah The Moon and OverHere Ltd.

Why It Matters​

Welch rose to fame after she was filmed by YouTube creators using the onomatopoeic phrase "hawk tuah" to describe a spitting action in a sexual context. She has since transformed her newfound fame into a successful merchandise line and a podcast, Talk Tuah, which has featured business people such as Mark Cuban.

The plaintiff attorneys say in their filing: "Through aggressive promotional campaigns and promises of future growth, Defendants created a speculative frenzy that caused the Token's market value to spike shortly after launch, reaching a significant market capitalization. Defendants leveraged Welch's celebrity status and connections to enhance the Token's credibility and appeal, including discussing the $HAWK project during Welch's podcasts featuring notable guests."
