After the clip reached every corner of the internet, the viral star has now released a bold social media post talking about how her life has changed since her “Hawk Tuah” moment.
She also made it clear in the same clip that she won’t allow people to sell fake merchandise.
“Three awesome things that have changed my life so far since all this has happened,” she said. “Number 1: I got over my stage fright. I sang in front of 80,000 people with Zach Bryan the other night, and I cannot sing for sh--. But I did it anyway.”
“I have to convince my pawpaw not to shoot the paparazzi outside of our house every day cause they’ve been camped out here for like two weeks,” she said

“Number 2: I quit my job at the spring factory so I don’t have to eat Taco Bell all the time, but I’m still going to do it anyways,” she continued. “Number 3: I actually have to get ready more than one time out of the week now. I’m not allowed to look like Adam Sandler anymore.”
While her new-found stardom has certainly been good in several ways, she noted that some things “have not been so great,” like the paparazzi camping outside her house, for starters.
“Number 1: I have to convince my pawpaw not to shoot the paparazzi outside of our house every day 'cause they’ve been camped out here for like two weeks,” she said.
She also asserted that there is not and “will never be” an OnlyFans account in her name.

“Number 2: Stop asking me for the link in bio for my OnlyFans. I don’t have an OnlyFans, and there will never be an OnlyFans. I just make funny jokes. That’s all I do,” she clarified.
The internet phenomenon then said she would be legally going after people selling fake merchandise with the “Hawk Tuah” brand.

“Number 3. I’m tired of the imposters and all the fake accounts. I don’t have any kind of social media just yet besides Snapchat, but when I have the rest of it, you guys will be the first to know when I launch it,” she said. “And by the way, there’s one more thing that’s really pissing me off. Any of you selling or purchasing merchandise online, it’s not from me. It’s not approved by me, and it’s counterfeit. And I’m not making a damn dime off any of it. But I just hired a manager, and I hired an attorney. So we’re coming for you, B----es.”
