Since-deleted social media post shared screenshots of explicit text messages allegedly exchanged between Smith and the woman.

During his playing days, Steve Smith Sr. marched to the beat of a different drum.
But now the fiery former all-pro wide receiver is in hot water after being accused of having an affair with a member of the Baltimore Ravens marching band.
Smith, who played for the Ravens and Carolina Panthers during his 16-year NFL career, was called out on social media by the husband of a woman that Smith allegedly was having an affair with.
In since-deleted posts on X, a man named Tony Martinez, whose handle was @Lambeaughini, claimed that Smith had been having sex with his wife — who he says is a member of the Marching Ravens, the Baltimore Ravens’ marching band.
The account also shared screenshots of explicit text messages allegedly exchanged between Smith and Martinez’s wife.
WARNING: Explicit language
A video also was posted to the account in which a man allegedly confronts Smith over the phone about the affair.
The individual recording the video accuses the man on the other end of the call of having sex with his wife and asks, “What do you have to say for yourself?”
After a pause, the man on the other end says, “Sorry.”
The man recording goes on to press for a further response, but the line sits silence before the call ends roughly a minute later.
Smith, who currently serves as an analyst for NFL Network, has been married to his wife, Angie, since 2000 and the couple has four children together.
Smith has not yet publicly addressed the allegations while the X account that posted them has been deleted.
However, two fellow former all-pro NFLers have weighed in on the subject — Shannon Sharpe and Chad ‘Ochocinco’ Johnson.
Sharpe and Johnson weighed in on their Nightcap podcast on Sunday.

“You never confront the individual because Steve Smith owes you no loyalty,” Johnson said, referring to Martinez. “You talk to your wife, you check your wife … Understand who you’re marrying. Human nature is undefeated.”
