It’s nice to see Steve Smith Sr. has a sense of humor, based on what he allegedly did to a married couple.
Earlier this year, the former Carolina Panthers wideout was accused of having an affair with someone’s wife, and he couldn’t deny it since the scorned husband provided text messages.
Smith Sr. faced allegations of an affair with a woman associated with the Baltimore Ravens.
The former NFL wide receiver and current analyst went viral on X (formerly Twitter) after a man publicly accused him of having an affair with his wife.
X user, identified as Tony Martinez, took to the platform to claim his wife works for the Baltimore Ravens’ ‘Marching Ravens’ band, and directly confronted Smith in a post, writing: “My wife works for the Marching Ravens @Ravens She met Steve Smith Sr at work. Steve Smith has been fu***ng my wife. I got receipts, I got a lot more homie.”
The accusations would continue as Martinez proceeded to post screenshots of explicit messages exchanged between Smith and his wife, Nicole Martinez.
On Thursday night, Steve Smith Jr. reminded everybody of what he did while calling the game between the Carolina Panthers and Pittsburgh Steelers.
During the broadcast, he was asked if he would treat fans to a Bojangles chicken sandwich if they were to see him in public.

That is when Smith Jr. replied wth, “Nah, bro, it’s one chicken sandwich. Man, y’all know my situation. I can’t afford to be helping anybody right now.”
A lawsuit was filed against former NFL star and analyst Steve Smith Sr. earlier this year that accused him of having a months-long affair with a married Baltimore Ravens marching band member.
The band member’s husband, Antonio Martinez, was asking for more than $100,000 in the civil lawsuit filed in Mecklenburg County Superior Court.
Martinez stated that his wife met Smith while working for the Ravens, implying that the affair started during his tenure with the team.
The two then corresponded regularly over the next several months, during which time they exchanged sexually explicit messages with one another.
The lawsuit also states that Mrs. Martinez visited Smith’s hotel room when Steve Smith was in Baltimore for one of the team’s playoff games.
His lawsuit is filed under North Carolina’s “alienation of affection” law, colloquially known as a “homewrecker law,” which allows a spouse to sue a third party for interfering with and destroying a marriage’s love and affection.
