Haliey “Hawk Tuah” Welch is getting a documentary about her viral fame journey.
Deadline reports that Bungalow Media + Entertainment, creators of Little Richard: I Am Everything and Cyber Sleuths: The Idaho Murders, is developing the project.
The documentary will “chronicle how Welch, a young woman from a small town with no active social media presence, unknowingly created a viral moment that gave way into a global phenomenon.”
Bob Friedman, Bungalow Media + Entertainment CEO, stated: “With only a single sentence, Haliey Welch went from an unknown young woman having a night out on the town to “enjoying” 15 minutes of fame to global phenomenon who cemented her status in the pop culture lexicon.”
“There are very few people who know what it is like to achieve this level of fame and live under the 24/7 microscope known as social media,” Friedman added. “This documentary will serve as both an inspiring and entertaining story of Haliey’s journey, and a lens into what it means to navigate the risks and rewards that come with living in the public’s eye.”
The documentary will include interviews with Welch and people close to her.
Welch commented: “I hope y’all been enjoying the crazy stories about ‘my life’ unfold on social media. First, I was dead. Then pregnant. Now I’m wanted by Interpol and in jail! Luckily, we’ve been working with Bungalow to start spilling the tea and the truth is actually even more bizarre than you think.”
Welch has maintained a low profile since her memecoin controversy in December. She addressed fans in February about the scam that led to legal action and damaged her reputation with many (though she claims she wasn’t aware of the situation).
“I’m still a little shook up about it,” Welch said. “I wanna start by saying thank you to all my true fans and all the people that actually watch my stuff and keep up with me. We’re trying to sort out all the pieces and stuff to get all this figured out and make everything right. Oh my god. I’m gonna cry.”
