Son of missing sub passenger deletes Twitter after intense backlash

Brian Szasz, the now viral stepson of missing submarine passenger and billionaire Hamish Harding, deleted his Twitter account after a string of tweets landed him in trouble with netizens.

After it emerged that Hamish and four other passengers were stuck some 13,000 feet underwater in Ocean Gate’s submersible, with limited oxygen supply, Brian caught flack for attending concerts and openly flirting with an adult model.

In what has now emerged to be the final hours of the high-takes search operation, Brian has now deleted his Twitter following a wave of controversy surrounding his actions. 

When news of his father's missing status first made headlines, Brian unabashedly confessed to attending a Blink-182 concert with the defense that his family would have wanted him there. 

"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," he said at the time in a post on social media. 

"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!"

It didn't end there, as the 32-year-old openly flirted with an OnlyFans model in an inappropriate exchange that left users even more riled up. 

Brian even caught Cardi B's attention as she lashed out at the billionaire's stepson for his insensitive actions. 

"You supposed to be right next to the phone waiting to hear any updates about me," she said, placing herself in the missing billionaire's situation.

"You supposed to be consoling your mom and s–t."

"Isn’t it sad that you a whole f–king billionaire and nobody gives a f–k about you?" she asked.

"Like, you missing and motherf–kers ready to shake d–ks at concerts."

"I’d rather be broke … and poor, but knowing that I’m loved, like, damn," she said.
