The woman later posted a video of the rescue on her Instagram. In the clip, Brown is seen pulling the man to safety by lifting him onto her raft.
“@hannahbrown rescues my boyfriend from the Ocoee River! Y’all asked for it. Here it is!” @quintnugget captioned the video. “To clarify @miltonsangabriel93 was not literally drowning (I’m prone to being dramatic) but most of us did get beat up by rocks in the river after we flipped.”
“IT. WAS. AWESOME. 😎🤘🏽💪🏼” she added. “If you’re here for Hannah she and her fam appear during the second half of the video about 2 min in. Check out @ocoee_watersports for the best rafting tour in Ocoee!”
Later on Saturday, Brown’s brother Patrick alluded to the rescue on Instagram.
Sharing two photos from the family’s trip to the river, Patrick wrote, “Took on the rapids with the fam jam!”
He added, “I got to relive my lifeguard days and Hannah thinks she’s apart of the Coast Guard now… #rescuemission. Check out @ocoee_watersports for a killer time 🙌🏻🤘🏼”
