Madame Web Star Emma Roberts Calls Out Internet Memes for Killing the Movie’s Potential Success

Emma Roberts believes that Madame Web could have been a box office hit, if only the internet didn’t need to make a joke out of everything.

It all started back in June when Welch was out with her friend for a bit of fun during CMA Fest 2024 in downtown Nashville. She was approached by Tim & Dee TV, a YouTube channel which regularly conducts interviews on the street with random strangers. When she was asked, “What’s the one move in bed that makes a man go crazy every time?” Welch responded in a way that made the internet go crazy, including uttering the words “Hawk Tuah,” a phrase she is now in the process of trademarking. Check out the video below.



Hailey Welch’s Life Has Been Forever Changed by “Hawk Tuah”

“I’m So Grateful for This Blessing.”

Whether Hailey Welch manages to parlay her fame into a venture that lasts remains to be seen. The internet is notorious for making people famous, turning them into memes, and then discarding them when the next viral sensation comes along. Regardless of where Welch lands in all this, there’s no denying that her life has been forever changed thanks to the words, “Hawk Tuah.”


In a clip posted to her Instagram account, Welch – who had no social media presence before going viral – told her one million followers how life is different these days. She got to sing in front of 80,000 people at a Zach Bryan concert despite not being able “to sing for s*it,” she no longer has to eat Taco Bell after quitting her job (but she will anyway), and now she’s “not allowed to look like Adam Sandler anymore.”

With that being said, however, Welch knows how lucky she is to be experiencing this brand-new life. Living with her grandmother in a town of just 788 people, she calls it a “blessing,” and doesn’t take anything for granted. In a statement posted on her Instagram, she thanked everyone for laughing with her, and not at her.


“3 weeks ago
my life was totally different
…I was working a humble 9-5 in my hometown. No talk shows or paparazzi were looking for me and
no celebrities were reaching out
to collab.
I was just Haliey
. I never could’ve dreamed that making a silly little joke would lead to all of this
but I’m so grateful for this blessing
. I’m also grateful for all of you,
yall laughed WITH me and not AT me
. I can’t thank yall enough….lets see what happens next.”
