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.

New Orleans Pelicans Stun The NBA By Trading Superstar Brandon Ingram To NBA Heavyweight In Blockbuster Trade Proposal

With the New Orleans Pelicans enduring another tremendously disappointing season, star big man Brandon Ingram is another name to follow in the trade rumor mill.

The Pelicans enter Thursday as the worst team in the Western Conference (5-22), with only the Washington Wizards (3-21) displaying an inferior record. It’s clear that a rebuild is necessary in NOLA, and that would start with trading core players like Brandon Ingram and/or Zion Williamson.

Svyatoslav Rovenchuk of Athlon Sports recently proposed a blockbuster trade idea that has New Orleans trading Ingram and Jeremiah Robinson-Earl to the powerhouse Golden State Warriors in exchange for Jonathan Kuminga, Gary Payton II, Kevon Looney and De’Anthony Melton:

“The swap allows the Warriors to add another All-Star caliber player around Curry. Meanwhile, the Pelicans land a worthwhile young prospect and a handful of expiring contracts. One could argue that Golden State would need to add some sort of draft pick compensation too, but given Ingram’s modest value, Kuminga may offer more than enough appeal to not have to do so.”
