Haliey Welch’s rising famefrom her interview withYouTubersTim & Dee TV has been spotlighted since June. Fromstarting her own podcasttocreating an app named after her boyfriendand more, Welch seems to be just beginning.
She’spartnered with YouTuber-turned-boxer Jake Paulunder his Betr brand, interviewed celebrities like Wiz Khalifa, and has even launched an animal foundation.
Though she likely wouldn’t have had those opportunities without her interview with Tim & Dee TV, Welch admitted that she refuses to thank the YouTubers for her success.
Welch spoke with the Bobby Bones Show and explained that after her fame took off, she contacted the YouTubers to stop posting about her. However, she said they blocked her on social media, leaving little to no room for her to reach back out to them to express her gratitude.
“Have you talked to that dude for making you famous?” asked Bones.
“Well, we reached out to him and I asked him to stop posting those videos and he never did,” Welch said. “He blocked us. So, I’m not thanking them for anything.”
