Representatives for Millie Bobby Brown have labeled disturbing claims made about her by TikTok influencer Hunter ‘Echo’ Ecimovic as “irresponsible, offensive, and hateful.”
The controversy appeared to begin earlier this week when pictures of the pair kissing surfaced on social media. In response, Ecimovic took to his Instagram Live to address allegedly dating Brown when she was 16 and he was 20.
He is now 21, according to reports.
Ecimovic claimed he lived at Brown’s house for eight months and that her “mum and dad knew about everything.”
Joined by two people in the stream, Ecimovic seemed to allude that his alleged relationship with Brown was sexual.
“She was obsessed, in love,” a woman, who Ecimovic identified as his sister, said in the Instagram Live.
Ecimovic laughed as he addressed the allegations and made a series of crude comments about Brown.
“She knew how to suck that dick,” he said, laughing.
After being accused of grooming Brown during the live stream, Ecimovic said with a smile: “I know, I groomed her.”

Ecimovic was unapologetic and lashed out at Brown’s followers.
“You guys don’t know anything. You guys are just following after one person saying one thing, like, everybody hates him so that everyone’s going to hate me,” he said.
“You guys just follow each other like a big duck followed by little ducks. Whatever the top thing is, you just follow up. You guys don’t know the story of anything, and I will never apologise. I hope you know that.
“I have nothing to apologise for, so make that clear. I have zero things to apologise for. You guys do not know a single thing at all.”
Ecimovic’s Instagram has since been nuked, but parts of his Instagram Live were shared to the IG account @exposinghunterecho. That account has since been deleted as well.
In a statement to The Daily Beast, representatives for Brown called Ecimovic’s claims “dishonest”.
“Mr. Ecimovic’s remarks on social media are not only dishonest, but also are irresponsible, offensive and hateful,” the actor’s team said.
“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 behaviour once and for all.”
Brown’s representatives did not confirm or deny if the actor was ever in a relationship with Ecimovic.
She is now 17, and has yet to comment on the claims herself.
