Glad we clear that up , I guess .

Haliey “Hawk Tuah” Welch is finally addressing last year’s cryptocurrency scandal that caused her to step away from herTalk Tuahpodcast.

Obviously, ifanyof the above words make sense to you, then you know what Haliey is famous for. If not, you canwatch this video, which led to such achievements as the aforementioned podcast,appearing onstagewith country superstarZach Bryan, and launching a crypto token that crashed so hard itspurred a lawsuitagainst its creators (which, for what it’s worth, did not include Haliey).

At the time of the lawsuit, Halieyissued a statementclaiming that she took the situation “extremely seriously.” She also putTalk Tuahon hold for a period of time. (The podcast has since resumed, with recent episodes featuringKSIandChanel West Coastas guests.)

In a new interview withVanity Fair, Haliey addressed how it felt in the eye of the crypto scandal storm — and, surprise surprise, it was no picnic.

“I hate that that’s even a thing,” she said, presumably referring to the memecoin’s crash and the subsequent fallout. “Half of those people that done it were, like, my fans. They trusted me, like, guiding them to it."

“And I don’t know…It really hurt my feelings when it turned out the way it did. I wish it hadn’t have happened.”

Uh, I bet!
