Fans Walk Out of ‘Talk Tuah’ Live Taping at VidCon 2025 Over Controversial Remarks 🚶‍♂️

Haliey Welch, known online as the “Hawk Tuah” girl, faced fresh backlash at VidCon 2025 after a live taping of her podcast Talk Tuah ended in audience walkouts. Guest Whitney Cummings made several lewd jokes and used slurs against little people, prompting widespread criticism both in the room and online. This marks another controversy for Welch, who rose to viral fame in 2024 before launching a failed cryptocurrency that cost investors millions.

After stepping back from the spotlight, Welch began rebuilding her presence with TikToks, a podcast reboot, and a cameo on Hulu’s Chad Powers. But the VidCon incident has reignited concerns about her public image. Neither Welch nor Cummings have commented on the taping, leaving fans wondering whether this was just a misstep—or the start of another fallout.
