The “Hawk Tuah” Girl drew some criticism over her in-flight appearance earlier this month.

Haliey Welch recently hopped on a plane for the first time ever, having experienced a significant lifestyle shift since she spoke the viral words into a microphone during that festive night out with her best friend.

Given her newfound celebrity, Welch is now constantly on the move, though she might not know how to dress for every occasion, given that she was photographed wearing a mask during her flight.

The covering caused quite a stir online.

“Still wearing a mask in 2024 = WEIRDO,” a user wrote.

“The mile high club demanded the mask for security reasons,” another chimed in.

“I hate hawk Tuah now. Take off the mask hunny. You look dumb,” said another.

“15 minutes ended with a mask,” a fourth remarked.

“A mask? Really? Thought you were bada**,” another added.

The Hawk Tuah Girl Had A Very Good Reason For Wearing A Mask

Turns out, Haliey Welch wasn’t wearing a mask to avoid getting sick. She put it on to prevent people from identifying her, though she was eventually IDd because she kept pulling it down to munch on snacks.

“Welch was in Fort Lauderdale to judge a bikini contest at the Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino,” Rolling Stone wrote as part of their recent interview with the “Hawk Tuah” sensation.

“She wore a mask onboard her Southwest flight to keep from being recognized, but a passenger busted her when she kept pulling it down to eat in-flight cookies.”

It appears all is not lost.

One of the most anticipated match-ups in week one is in Brazil this weekend, and Jordan Love and the Green Bay Packers are slated to face off against Jalen Hurts and the Philadelphia Eagles.

While it may be some of these players’ first time in the country, sadly, they won’t be able to explore all the landmarks the place has to offer. According to one report, the players have been told not to leave their hotel rooms.

Along with essentially getting a shelter-in-place order, the players were also advised to refrain from responding to suspicious text messages on their phones and not to invite their families on the trip.
