Millie Bobby Brown shut down rumors of a "sexual relationship" with TikTok star Hunter 'Echo' Ecimovic after he made outrageous claims about the actor and said he "groomed" her, according to the Daily Mail. As angry fans of Brown flooded his comments, Ecimovic did not apologize. "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. He emphasized that he has "zero things to apologize for."
Brown's representative was quick to speak out against his claims. "Mr. Ecimovic's remarks on social media are not only dishonest, but also are irresponsible, offensive and hateful," the representative said.

"It sounded very immature, looked horrible on my family, it looked horrible on me, it looked horrible on my friends."
