Rumors emerged in February suggesting former Carolina Panthers wideout Steve Smith had an affair with a Baltimore Ravens marching-band member. Three months later, Smith is being sued for those allegations.
The husband of the woman who reportedly had an affair with Smith is suing the NFL great for over $100,000 in a civil lawsuit filed Tuesday, according to the Charlotte Observer. The lawsuit — which was filed in Mecklenburg County Superior Court in North Carolina — accused Smith of engaging in a months-long affair with a member of the Ravens' marching band.
Smith reportedly met the woman while filming an episode of "The NFL’s Most Interesting Jobs with Steve Smith" for NFL Network, per the lawsuit.
