The stepson of billionaire Hamish Harding, who is on board a missing vessel which had been exploring the Titanic wreckage, is being slammed for attending a music concert at this time. Brian Szasz posted photos on social media of himself enjoying the Blink-182 concert in San Diego. Facing the heat, he admitted he knew some people would find his appearance at the gig "distasteful" but tried to justify his actions. Mr Szasz then flirted with an OnlyFans model online, which made the criticism shriller. According to New York Post, Brian Szasz responded to a risque post of OnlyFans girl Brea on Wednesday as rescuers raced to find the submersible Titan.
Among them who criticised Mr Szasz was rapper Cardi B, calling him a "spoiled brat". He, however, defended his decision hitting back at critics explaining it was his way of "coping with the news".
"Yes I went to @blink-182 last night," Mr Szasz, an audio engineer based in San Diego, wrote on his Instagram Stories June 20 alongside a photo of him at the venue. "What am I supposed to do sit at home and watch the news? Not sorry this band has helped me through hard times since 1998."
The 37-year-old shared the news of his outing on Facebook a day earlier, with screenshots going viral. He wrote, "It might be distasteful being here but my family would want me to be at the blink-182 show as it's my favorite band and music helps me in difficult times!"
Mr Szasz later deleted the post.
Hours later, a tweet of Mr Szasz reacting to the OnlyFans model went viral on social media. It was posted just minutes after he asked followers to "please keep my family in your prayers". It was also deleted later.
The OnlyFans model posted some shocking tweets after she got to know about what happened in the past few hours.
"I'm literally just waking up what is going on," she said in one of the tweets. "Like no way," she said in another, reacting to the news of what Ms Szasz wrote in response to her tweet.
Mr Szasz has so far not addressed his posts concerning online models.
A massive search operation has been launched to trace the missing submersible that includes US Coast Guard ships, Canadian military planes, French vessels, and teleguided robots.
The crew of the Titan is believed to have limited rations on board.
Apart from Mr Harding, Pakistani tycoon Shahzada Dawood and his son are also on board.
