What else has Hailey Welch done?

In her career, Welch has had a few ventures. She released a dating advice app called Pookie Tools in November 2024. In December 2024, she faced controversy after she released a cryptocurrency meme coin on the Solana blockchain.

The coin was called $HAWK token. It reached a value of almost $500 million but plummeted to $25 million. Welch was accused of falsely inflating the price of the coin. Welch and her team were accused of manipulating the price of the coin by hyping it up and then quickly selling off their shares for profit (a “pump-and-dump” scheme). Cryptocurrency journalist Coffeezilla also claimed they engaged in insider trading, meaning they used private information to make unfair profits. However, Welch’s team has denied all allegations.

A lawsuit was filed against the creators of the coin because of the scandal. The lawsuit was for selling a form of cryptocurrency that they thought was not registered properly.

Welch said she took the allegations seriously and was fully cooperative. For three months, she left the internet.

Hailey Welch documentary

Welch’s documentary, which was reported on 25 March, will focus on her fame, scrutiny towards her, and how social media builds people up and breaks them down. The documentary will be produced by Bungalow Media + Entertainment.

Bob Freidman, the producer and Ceo of Bungalow Media said about the documentary: “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.”

Welch is involved in the documentary in interviews, according to Deadline’s reports. The influencer also spoke about the podcast: “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.”
