Steve Smith Sr. is sued under “homewrecker” law

The list of lawsuits recently filed against former NFL players continues to grow.

Former Panthers and Ravens receiver Steve Smith Sr. has been sued in North Carolina under a “homewrecker” law.

As explained by Julia Coin of the Charlotte Observer, Smith is accused of having an extended affair with a member of the Baltimore Ravens marching band.

In the civil complaint filed on Tuesday, Antonio Martinez seeks at least $100,000 for Smith’s alleged interference in Martinez’s marriage.

The situation became public in February, when Martinez posted images of messages allegedly exchanged between Smith and Martinez’s wife.
