Brian Szasz, the stepson of billionaire Hamish Harding who went missing after boarding the submersible headed for the Titanic, faced backlash on social media after his insensitive actions were exposed. Szasz, who confirmed that his dad was aboard the missing submersible, tweeted a photo of himself at a Blink-182 concert amidst the search-and-rescue mission. The spectacle, which also saw Szasz flirting with an OnlyFans model on Twitter, was met with criticism, including from rapper Cardi B. In a video posted to social media, she expressed her disbelief that Szasz wasn’t at the house sad waiting for updates about his relative. Szasz later hit back by calling the rapper’s latest music trash, and even called her a complete bitch. The feud led to Szasz using the N-word in an argument with a Black Twitter user defending Cardi B, after which he deleted his account.
Szasz defended his attendance at the concert as a way to blow off steam amid the chaotic situation. However, many Twitter users have pointed out that he couldn’t do much to assist his missing relative because of his lack of passport and a legal issue that is keeping him from flying. It is unclear whether Szasz will return to Twitter, or if he will continue to pursue his 15-minutes of fame.
The incident has caused a stir on social media, with many calling out Szasz’s insensitive behavior and language. It serves as a reminder of the importance of sensitivity and empathy during difficult times, as well as the impact of one’s words and actions on the digital platform. As the search for the missing submersible continues, it is hoped that loved ones and families of those affected can find solace and comfort amidst the chaos.
