NFL Announcer Steve Smith Battles $100K Lawsuit Amid 'Homewrecker' Allegations Linked to Wife Affair With Married Woman

Former NFL standout Steve Smith is currently facing the repercussions of an alleged romantic entanglement with a married woman, resulting in a lawsuit for disrupting a marriage this year.Recently, Smith adopted a humorous approach to the controversy while broadcasting live during an NFL game. While offering commentary on the Panthers vs. Steelers match at Bank of America Stadium, one of his colleagues began reading a promotional offer from Bojangles, which included a free chicken sandwich for fans who scanned a QR code. The lighthearted banter led to a question about whether Smith could contribute more food for the fans. With a chuckle, he quipped, “Man, ya’ll know my situation. I can’t afford to be helping anybody right now!”Smith's humor drew laughter from his coworkers, though one individual, Antonio Martinez, finds little amusement. Martinez filed a $100,000 lawsuit against Smith in April, accusing the NFL icon of “willfully, maliciously, and intentionally” seducing his wife, Nicole, during a meeting in Baltimore. Martinez made his claims public via social media, asserting evidence of their alleged affair.
