According to this viral post, Carla Reed, the Director of Epstein Day School, had issued a statement regarding the situation.

“We have kids spitting on each other and everything else since they heard their beloved Miss Hailey say ‘spit on that thang’ on YouTube.

“They really look up to her as a role model and imitate the things that she does. We love Hailey but unfortunately, we cannot allow this type of behavior from one of our very own faculty members.”

The post also included a purported response from ‘Hailey’ herself: “What I said during that interview was based on my own personal thoughts.

“I was giving good advice to those who might want to have a little fun. I have the right to share my life experiences if I choose to do so.

“It has nothing to do with the kind of teacher I am for my kids. It is outright discrimination and I plan to seek retribution against the preschool.”

However, what some readers failed to notice was that the Tippah County Tribune is known for being a self-proclaimed satire site, which means the story was not factual.

While it is confirmed that Hailey is leveraging her viral catchphrase for business, details about her life remain scant.

Hailey has partnered with a Tennessee-based hat company called Fathead Threads to launch her own line of hats, a collaboration identified by OutKick.
