Hawk Tuah girl now getting millions of searches on PornHub after 'spit on that thang' video
'Hawk Tuah girl' has been catapulted into overnight fame following her viral video, and now she's said to have inspired a whole new trend over on Pornhub.
Haliey Welch, 21, became famous overnight after her 'spit on that thing' video was watched by millions of people around the world.
It all started when she was approached by YouTuber duo Tim and Dee TV last month.

While doing a Q&A on the street, she was asked: "What’s one move in bed that makes a man go crazy every time?"
Laughing, she joked: "You gotta give ’em that ‘hawk tuah’ and spit on that thing!"
Things have become pretty busy for Haliey since the clip aired.
Not only does she now have her own team - including an agent - she's also launched a line of hats featuring her explicit catchphrase, which has already raked in an estimated $65,000 (£51,329).
If that wasn't enough, she joined country music star Zach Bryan on stage to sing his hit 'Revival' in front of thousands of fans at the Nissan Stadium on Saturday (June 29).
Now, it's been revealed that the viral clip has inspired a flurry of searches on adult site, Pornhub.
It's important to note that people aren't searching for Haliey herself - she's not on the platform - but they are searching the term 'hawk tuah'.
Pornhub told TMZ that they expect the number of searches to have reached 4.7 million this week.
To put it into context, the search term wasn't even a thing on Pornhub before Haliey's video.
Following the life-changing couple of weeks, Haliey recently sat down with Brianna Lapaglia for her podcast Plan Bri Uncut, where she explained exactly what happened when she realised the video had gone viral.
Speaking about people trying to track down her identity, Brianna asked: "There was a search for you... was there a part of you that didn't want to be known as the Hawk Tuah girl?"
Haliey explained: "Yeah, a big part of it. They started spelling my name wrong and making accounts of me.
"They got pictures from my friends' social media... it's kind of creepy seeing your face on another account."
Haliey explained that despite all the furore over the video, she doesn't want to be known as the Hawk Tuah girl.
"I don't really want that to be my image, I don't see that being my thing, I don't want to be known as that," she explained.
