Too soon? Controversial influencer Ruby Tuesday Matthews watches Titanic with her children – days after OceanGate submersible tragedy
Ruby Tuesday Matthews has raised eyebrows after sharing a video of herself watching the movie Titanic, just days after the OceanGate submersible tragedy that left five people dead.
The Byron Bay influencer, 27, revealed on Monday that she was spending the night watching the iconic James Cameron film with her two eldest children, sons Mars, five, and Rocket, four.
‘Are you excited for this?’ Ruby asked her kids as she filmed her television from the couch.
‘I remember my first time I watched the Titanic,’ she asked one of her sons, who replied: ‘When was that?’
‘Like it was yesterday,’ she replied.

Ruby’s decision to relive Rose and Jack’s tragic love story came less than a week after an OceanGate submersible imploded on its journey to the wreck of the Titanic.
The minivan-sized Titan sub, operated by US company OceanGate Expeditions, began its descent around midday UK time on Sunday.
After a desperate four-day search it was announced on Thursday that all five people aboard died instantly.

British billionaire Hamish Harding, OceanGate CEO Stockton Rush, French navy veteran PH Nargeolet and Pakistani businessman Shahzada Dawood and his son Suleman, who was just 19, are all believed to have died in the tragedy.
The US Coast Guard has confirmed that the tail cone of the deep-sea vessel was discovered around 1,600ft from the bow of the Titanic wreckage.

The final ‘ping’ to its mothership came around 3pm – putting it just above the famous wreck.
Questions have been asked about the speed at which OceanGate informed the authorities that it had lost contact with Titan and the sub’s alleged technical inadequacies – as well as the failure to address repeated warnings it was unsafe.
There has also been a push to toughen laws to prevent anyone else suffering a similar fate.
Legal experts have said liability waivers signed by passengers on Titan may not shield the vessel’s owner from potential lawsuits by the victims’ families.
