Millie Bobby Brown to take action vs TikTok star Hunter Echo for ‘dishonest, offensive’ sexual claims

Millie Bobby Brown is taking action against TikTok star Hunter Echo, who has claimed to have engaged in sexual acts with the “Stranger Things” actress.

According to a report on Tuesday, Millie’s representative told TMZ that Hunter’s remarks on social media “are not only dishonest, but also are irresponsible, offensive and hateful.”

“Instead of engaging in a public discourse with him through the press or on social media, we are taking action to ensure that he stops this behavior once and for all,” the representative said.

The TikTok star, whose real name was Hunter Ecimovic, came under fire after he made crude comments seemingly aimed at Millie and alleged during an Instagram live video on Monday that he engaged in sexual acts with the actress.

According to a Page Six report, Hunter said he “groomed” Millie and had nothing to apologize for despite the actress being just 16 years old and he 20 when the events allegedly happened.

“Yeah, no, I groomed her. Everything that I did was completely legal and it was approved by everybody that I was with,” the 21-year-old social media personality said.

The TikTok star also said that he lived with the Hollywood actress at her home for eight months.

“I have nothing to apologize for, so make that clear. I have zero things to apologize for,” he said. “How the f–k is there a lawsuit? Her mom and dad knew about everything.” 

On Wednesday, however, Hunter issued a lengthy apology on TikTok, explaining that he was drunk and his words were a reaction to the negative comments on his stream.

“It shouldn’t have happened in the first place. That was a stupid idea on my part to think it would be okay to continue, to go live as it was getting more and more negative in the comments,” he said.

“After seeing, hearing what people were saying to me when they don’t know about anything, like ever, it was getting more and more irritated. The alcohol, I became more careless and I said stuff that shouldn’t have been said.”

He said his natural instinct when people did that was to “make it worse” and “antagonize.”

“The livestream, I’m sorry for it. I’m not proud at all of how I spoke. It sounded immature, looked horrible on my family, it looked horrible on me, it looked horrible on my friends,” Hunter said.

“I should have ended it the moment it got bad. I said what I said and I can’t take that back. I just want you to know that I’m not okay with what I said.”

In California, where Hunter is based, the age of consent is 18. – Kaela Malig/RC, GMA News
