Welch famously said, “You gotta give ’em that ‘hawk tuah’ and spit on that thang. You get me?”
However, recent rumors have claimed that she is suing Tim Dickerson and DeArius Marlow, the creators behind the video that sparked her fame.

The Twitter account DramaAlert suggested the rumors were true, stating that the creators confirmed it themselves.
“The original filmers ‘Tim & Dee TV’ confirmed it seemingly in a TikTok comment. (This account is linked on their YouTube channel),” DramaAlert posted along with screenshots from the comment section.
But now Welch has addressed the situation herself on Twitter.

“Fake news,” she captioned the picture, effectively shutting down the lawsuit rumors.
One Twitter user then shared a screenshot that appeared to show claims she was suing, and Welch replied, “If I sued it would be public but I guess clout is being chased.”
In a recent episode, she even revealed a rather unique pillow featuring her celebrity crush, comedian Matt Rife.
Back in July, Welch admitted on Whitney Cummings’ podcast Good For You that she has a bit of a thing for Rife.

After chatting on FaceTime, Rife invited Welch to one of his shows in Nashville.
Without hesitation, Welch accepted the invite, which didn’t come as a big surprise to anyone.
