The creators of the Hawk Tuah video that went viral earlier this year have spoken out after Haliey Welch said she wouldn't thank them for her fame.
Back in June, Tim & Dee TV released a video of them speaking to women on nights out.
Haliey Welch was asked what makes a guy 'go crazy' in bed and famously replied: "You gotta hawk tuah and spit on that thing."
The video quickly went viral, with Haliey going on to be dubbed as 'Hawk Tuah girl'.

Initially Haliey went into hiding after the video blew up, but she soon embraced her newfound fame and now has her own podcast.
Fast forward to today and Haliey, who is thought to be in her early 20s, boasts 2.6 million followers on Instagram.
While she wouldn't have become famous without Tim & Dee TV's video going viral, Haliey recently said that she doesn't believe she owes them a thank you.
Elsewhere in a separate interview, the viral star alleged that they came up to her on the night in question.
Now, in a new video addressing the apparent bad blood, Tim & Dee TV (whose real names are Tim Dickerson and DeArius Marlow) have with Haliey, the original creators of the video shared their 'truth'.
"That's not how that happened," the creators said in response to Hailey saying they went up to her.
"She most definitely walked across the street [to us]," added Tim.
"It was at the end of the night and I had the camera in my hands and was looking at clips."
"They came around and seen the camera and tried to see what's up," DeArius continued.
Further on in Tim & Dee TV's new 41 minute-long video, they showed a clip of Haliey's friend Chelsea specifically asking that they give them a 'spicy' question topic.
DeArius claimed that he wanted to ask the girls about what makes them 'wifey material' and 'how to get over a break up'.
Elsewhere, the duo share DMs they exchanged with Chelsea when the video blew up like it did.
They say they wanted to share any opportunities that were presented to them with the girls, but they wanted to follow their own path.
DeArius added that they offered them $10,000 to do another video.
However, Chelsea went on to say that they didn't want to collaborate with them anymore, writing: "Considering how you've done us, I don't think it's fair for you to get any more."
"Please explain to me how we did you so dirty," DeArius said in their new YouTube video.
"I didn't know that offering someone $10,000 and a percentage of merch sales was bad."
In light of Haliey landing her own podcast deal, Tim & Dee TV shared a screenshot from a message sent from Haliey's account asking if they wanted to feature on it.
Chelsea echoed similar sentiments in a different message to them.
UNILAD has contacted reps for Haliey and Chelsea following Tim & Dee TVs recent claims.
