Former NFL wide receiver Steve Smith Sr. is facing criticism after a man claims that his wife had an affair with the former Carolina Panthers and Baltimore Ravens standout.
Smith Sr. is facing a lawsuit based on the “home wrecker” law in North Carolina, alleging alienation of affection, intentional emotional distress, and negligent emotional distress.
In February, Antonio Martinez shared purported text exchanges between his wife and Smith Sr., along with an audio recording of a phone call where Martinez confronted Smith Sr. about the affair.
Martinez is pursuing more than $100,000 in compensation after his wife – a member of the Baltimore Ravens marching band – allegedly engaged in an affair with the former wide receiver.
Smith Sr. currently works at the NFL Network following his extended NFL career,
