The stepson of a British billionaire who was killed on OceanGate’s Titan sub has moaned about not being able to “get laid” despite his inheritance in the wake of the tragedy.
Brian Szasz recently reactivated his Twitter account after going silent amid a backlash for flirting with a nearly naked OnlyFans model while rescuers were still searching for the doomed vessel.
But he quickly found himself in the midst of a new controversy for new tone-deaf messages on the platform.
The 37-year-old audio engineer said in a since-deleted tweet: “With millions to spare, I still can’t get laid.
“With all this cash I just want a girl to hang out with please!”
He boasted to one critic who wrote that “anything more than $0 is too much” of an inheritance that he is set to receive “more than you’ll make in a lifetime”.
Szasz will reportedly have to share the inheritance with his sister Lauren and his two stepbrothers, as well as his mom’s two sons with Harding, Rory, 18, and Giles, 15.
His stepfather Hamish Harding was killed alongside OceanGate’s CEO Stockton Rush, French explorer Paul Henri Nargeolet, Pakistani businessman Shahzada Dawood and his son Suleman.
Szasz previously faced criticism after posting about going to a Blink-182 concert as the search for the Titan vessel was ongoing.
At the time, Szasz admitted it “might be distasteful” to go to a gig but insisted his family “would want” him to have seen his favourite band.
He posted on Monday: “Hamish my stepdad is lost in submarine thoughts and prayers that the rescue mission will be successful.”
But minutes later he uploaded a photo of himself at the Blink-182 gig.
On Wednesday, he continued tweeting defiantly under the renewed criticism.
He wrote: “I’ve honestly never been bothered by mean people on Twitter. I’m originally from New Jersey, we have thick skin. We’re a different breed! New Jersey strong!”
In another tweet, he said, “Quit asking me for money unless you’re a beautiful woman, trans women too! An OF model. Or a black dude trying to go to college.”
He added later: “F— it I’m keeping my money!”
Szasz said the “purpose of my tweets is to give you all a moment of laughter in your stressful day.”
