TikToker Hunter Echo has caught the attention of Stranger Things fans after coming on an Instagram live stream responding to comments about the alleged relationship between him and Millie Bobby Brown. During the livestream, the TikToker was also called out for grooming Brown.

The 17-year-old actress shared a glimpse of her rumored relationship with Jake Bongiovi, son of singer Jon Bon Jovi, last month on her Instagram stories. Bongiovi and Brown were also spotted together in New York in April and have also been seen commenting on each other’s Instagram posts.

Fans were quick to assume that 19-year-old Bongiovi and Brown were dating each other until pictures of Echo and the Stranger Things actress took over the internet. The two were seen together during the New Year of 2021.


TikToker Hunter Echo speaks about his relationship with Millie Bobby Brown

Hunter Echo took to Instagram, responding to comments about the alleged relationship between Brown and him. In a live stream, Echo said:

“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.”

Echo was seen on the livestream laughing with his friend. He continued:

“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 apologize. I hope you know that.”

Though the TikToker came on the live stream to set the record straight about the alleged relationship, Echo continued to reiterate that he had nothing to apologize for. He stated:

“I have nothing to apologize for, so make that clear. I have zero things to apologize for. You guys do not know a single thing at all.”

Fans were disgusted to see the 20-year-old speak about his relationship with Millie Bobby Brown, who was then 16 years old. Hunter Echo was seen sexualizing the actress, who is a minor. Fans fired at him during the livestream, and the TikToker did not seem to care.

Millie is the victim. She was groomed and we need to pay more attention to this. No child should have to go through this. Hunter committed statuary rape and groomed a CHILD. Hunter is to blame for this. Not Millie

Yall need to stop bringing up the age of consent when we talk about the hunter echo and millie situation. It doesn't matter if its the age of consent in some places. 16 and 20 are different mind sets. Stop trying to justify this!!!!

Millie Bobby Brown has not spoken about her relationship with either of the men. She has always been quiet about her dating life.
