The [expectorating internet sensation]()'s most recent podcast episode — ironically titled "[HOW TO AVOID GETTING CANCELLED]()" — was [posted to Spotify]() and [YouTube]() on December 3. Since then, she's gone dark. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QtDQnM1Fkmg The [very next day]() after that episode was published, the [22-year-old viral vixen]() launched her "HAWK" meme coin, which [crashed spectacularly and immediately]() in what many believe was some sort of scam. In a single day, the coin's total worth dropped from [$490 million]() to just $24.6 million, leading to accusations of a [pump-and-dump scheme](). Though [Welch initially insisted on X-formerly-Twitter]() that the team behind the HAWK coin hadn't sold any of their tokens, she appeared to change her tune after [jilted investors filed suit]() against her and [the coin's shady promoters](). "I take this situation extremely seriously," [she posted on December 20](), weeks after the debacle. "I am fully cooperating with and am committed to assisting the legal team representing the individuals impacted, as well as to help uncover the truth, hold the responsible parties accountable, and resolve this matter." Beyond that cooperation post — and the bizarre instance in which she responded to criticism on an X spaces audio chat by announcing that [she was going to bed]() — Welch has been entirely absent from the web. Though we don't know exactly what accounts for her MIA status, it could well be under the advice of attorneys urging the young woman to avoid incriminating herself or fraternizing with people involved in the case. Still, it's a shame that Welch's "Talk Tuah" podcast — which [only has 13 episodes](), and launched [three months to the day]() before the last one — has disappeared from the digital airwaves, because it was actually kind of hilarious. Depending on what happens with the lawsuit, this may not be the last we've heard from Hawk Tuah girl — but her podcast may, unfortunately, be dead on arrival. **More on Welch:** [*The Hawk Tuah Girl Committed a Horrible Crime: Not Calling Her Crypto "Spitcoin"*]() ## Author At Futurism, I've often been drawn to unpacking the narratives that underlie technological, scientific and medical progress, with a special interest in areas of conflict and ambiguity that end up setting agendas and steering the fates of both elites and the hoi polloi. I'm a committed generalist, but I often find myself returning to work involving NASA and the private space sector, the effects of AI on media and society, and the mechanics of the pharmaceutical industry, with a specific focus on the spread of GLP-1 drugs like Ozempic and Wegovy. Prior to Futurism, I worked for publications ranging from Media Matters and Truthdig to Raw Story and Bustle. I'm also the author of "Myspace Scene Queens," a 2024 title in Instar Books' acclaimed "Remember the Internet" series. My work at Futurism has been cited by outlets including the New Yorker, Slate, Nieman Lab, the Verge, the MIT Technology Review, the Sunday Times, and the Daily Beast. I grew up in North Carolina, attended the University of North Carolina at Asheville, and now live in Brooklyn, New York. In my free time, I'm an avid reader and music fan; you can probably find me at a local poetry reading, concert, underground rave, or DJ set. I'm the proud parent of an ineffable orange cat named Mee-Mow. ### Author social links [Bluesky]()
