Steve Smith Sr. and his family were rocked over the weekend after a furious husband exposed the former NFL wide receiver for having an affair with his wife.
The individual, Antonio Martinez, took to social media with screenshots from raunchy conversations that supposedly took place between Smith and his wife. He also recorded himself calling the football analyst to let him know he’d been found out and asking him what he had to say for himself.
Martinez also revealed that his wife, Nicole, is a member of the Baltimore Ravens’ marching band, the Marching Ravens, and they met while Smith played for the team.
Smith was heard saying, “I’m sorry,” on the other end of the call noted above.
His son, Peyton, has since addressed the controversy, thanking the folks who have shown his family support while adding a message for those who fed the “negativity.”
“Your kind words and prayers are felt and appreciated. God’s got us,” he wrote via Instagram.
“I won’t take much time feeding into the negativity, but to those sending hateful messages to my family, I hope you take time to reflect that you have nothing better to do with your day than to message hate to a stranger.”
