Seems like someone on the Chad Powers<\/a><\/em> team decided they\u2019d rather have Haliey \u201cHawk Tuah Girl\u201d Welch guest-star on the Hulu comedy instead of Brittney Rae Carrera. But Welch says she had no idea Carrera once had her role.<\/p>\n \u201cHey guys, I\u2019ve been tagged in a lot of videos of [Carrera] saying I \u2018replaced her\u2019 in Chad Powers,\u201d Welch wrote in a now-offline Instagram Story, per Deadline<\/a>. \u201cI\u2019ve been in contact with her, and we\u2019re cool. I wasn\u2019t aware the role had been filled prior.\u201d<\/p>\n In the first episode of Chad Powers<\/em>, Glen Powell<\/a>\u2019s titular character spots Welch in a nightclub and recognizes her as Hawk Tuah Girl, the viral video subject who became famous for that namesake onomatopoeia about oral sex. (Welch even got a shout out on Jeopardy!<\/em><\/a>)<\/p>\n On the show, however, Welch demands respect from Chad: \u201cMy name\u2019s Haliey, d***head,\u201d she says.<\/p>\n Chad then refers to her as Haliey Tuah, and the TikTok celebrity responds, \u201cWelch! Haliey Welch is my full human name.\u201d<\/p>\n In her Instagram Stories update, Welch said, \u201cIt was as simple as this: I was called and asked to be in a TV series with Glen Powell, and I said yes. (Because, duh, it\u2019s Glen Powell). I wasn\u2019t made aware this was happening, and it was in no way malicious at all. I actually love [Carrera\u2019s] content and think she is a funny and sweet girl.\u201d<\/p>\n <\/a> TV Review: ‘Chad Powers’<\/p>\n<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n Related<\/p>\n Carrera reacted to Welch\u2019s involvement in a video she posted on Instagram<\/a> on September 30. \u201cThey replaced me with \u2018Hawk Tuah\u2019?!\u201d she screams as she and friends watch the episode. \u201cThat\u2019s my scene! \u2026 This is literally my scene! I filmed this! \u2026 Oh, my God! \u2026 Stop filming! I just literally just realized that I f***king got replaced by Hawk Tuah! Hawk Tuah?! What the f***k?!\u201d<\/p>\n Viewers, however, suspect Carrera\u2019s reaction video was staged, 7NEWS<\/a> reports.<\/p>\n And, as the site added, Carrera did post a follow-up in her Instagram Stories, writing, \u201cI am not upset with Hailey [sic] Welch at all. I hope one day she will teach me how to spit on that thang.\u201d<\/p>\n Chad Powers<\/em>, Season 1, Tuesdays, Hulu<\/strong><\/p>\n Read the latest entertainment news on TV Insider<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\nTV Review: ‘Chad Powers’<\/a><\/h3>\n
