“I’m paranoid of getting kidnapped or something. I’m very paranoid about that. And I’m little, too, so I can’t really defend myself with big people or nothing like that,” she added.
Narrating a recent incident, the viral sensation said, “I had a guy come up to me in Walmart a few weeks ago, and he was like, ‘I know you.’ And I said, ‘No you don’t,’ and he like, ‘Yeah I do, I know you.’”
“And I was like, ‘Oh no, you don’t,’ and I got my bag and went to walk away, and he’s like, ‘I know you, Mrs Hawk.’”

The Tennessee resident became famous on social media after she was randomly stopped on the street for a quick chat by content creators Tim & Dee TV.
During the racy conversation, the interviewer asked her, “[What is a] move in bed [that] makes a man go crazy every time?”
Hailey was more than happy to answer the question, and she succinctly summed up her response with: “Hawk Tuah.”
“Oh, you gotta give him that hawk tuah and spit on that thang,” she told content creators Tim & Dee TV
After waking up to instant online stardom, she initially isolated herself in her home, where her friends and family guarded her in a safety bubble.
Despite her efforts to stay away from the public, she said she has been receiving bizarre and unsettling requests from fans.
One such instance involved a fan getting in touch with her ‘Hawk Tuah’ merchandise partner and offering $600 for her to spit in a jar. Another asked her for toe pictures.

“So, the guy that does my hats, he got offered $600 three days ago for me to spit in a jar and sell it. That is revolting! That is just disgusting, is it not?” she said during her Kyle and Jackie O Show interview.
Adding to her frustrations are the social media impersonators, who spell her name wrong and create accounts using her photos.
“It’s kind of creepy seeing your face on another account that don’t belong to you,” she added.
