The stepson of the British billionaire stuck on the missing Titanic submersible asked an OnlyFans model to ‘sit on him’.

The woman, named Brea, tweeted a photo of herself in skimpy underwear with the caption: ‘Can I sit on you’.

Brian Szasz, 36, quoted the post and wrote ‘yes please’ with a love heart emoji.

He made the comment on Wednesday morning, reportedly just moments after making a separate tweet which read: ‘Please keep my family in your prayers!’

He has since called the model his ‘homegirl’ and ‘online friend’ who he ‘always talks to as they have a playful back and forth’.

In an Instagram story defending himself yesterday, Brian said: ‘Brea wished me well, she wished my family well. She’s a very nice person.’

The San Diego-based audio engineer is the stepson of Hamish Harding, 58, who is the CEO of Action Aviation in Dubai.

Mr Harding is one of five passengers aboard OceanGate’s deep-sea vessel which has been missing since Sunday, after it set off on a trip to the Titanic wreck.

The others are OceanGate’s CEO Stockton Rush, French submersible pilot Paul-Henri Nargeolet and the Pakistani businessman Shahzada Dawood, with his son Sulaiman.

Brian quickly faced backlash for flirting online while his family member is trapped underwater, set to run out of oxygen today.

One person commented: ‘Lmao quote tweeting a thirst trap while your stepdad is lost at sea is wild business.’

Brian reportedly liked a post which said ‘no one can judge the way you deal with this trauma’ before seemingly deleting his Twitter account.

This is the second scandal Brian has faced over the last few days, after he was criticised for attending a Blink-182 concert.

He also addressed this in yesterday’s Instagram video when he said: ‘Believe it or not, I have about $100 to my name, I can’t go out to the ocean. I have a legal situation keeping me here as well – I can’t get on a flight, I don’t have a passport.

‘I was sitting here yesterday watching the news for two days straight. I go to a Blink-182 show because I have a ticket. It wasn’t like I was having super fun or like I was celebrating or having a great time.

‘I was kind of just listening to some of my all-time favourite songs, kind of nodding my head and just trying to get off the phone for maybe like two hours or so and come right back into the drama.

‘The submarine is stuck at the damn Titanic, there is nothing I can do for the situation at all.’

Brian went on to add that this ‘whole situation is f**king nightmare’, he ‘hasn’t slept in days’ and he is ‘too worried about his mum’.

The online drama started for Brian on Monday, when he shared a photo of himself in front of a band merchandise stand with the caption: ‘It might be distasteful being here but my family would want me to be at the Blink-182 show as it’s my favourite band and music helps me in difficult times!’

He then wrote on Instagram: ‘Yes I went to @blink-182 last night. 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.’

Multiple people lambasted him on social media and things escalated when rapper Cardi-B weighed in with a video calling him out.

She said: ‘One of the billionaires, their stepson is at a concert right, at a Blink 182 concert.

‘And people are like ”erm what is he supposed to do, be sad at the house, is he supposed to go look for him himself?” Yes!’

‘You are supposed to be at the house sad, be crying for me, you are supposed to be right next to the phone, waiting to hear any updates about me.

‘Isn’t that sad that you are a whole f****g billionaire, and nobody gives a f**k about you?

‘Like you missing, and mother f****rs are ready to shake d***s at concerts. That’s crazy! I’d rather be broke, and poor then like knowing I’m loved.’

This sparked an online war with Brian calling Cardi-B a ‘trashy celeb’ and accusing her of ‘trying to get clout off his family’s suffering’.

Today will see 10 extra ships and several remote submarines join the search for the submersible.

Conflicting reports have circulated over exactly when oxygen supplies will run out on Titan. The US Coast Guard has told The Independent the estimate is around 1pm UK time, but other outlets have reported differing predictions.
