Former NFL star Steve Smith Sr. is taking his alleged cheating scandal in his stride. Smith was at Bank of America Stadium calling the Pittsburgh Steelers- Carolina Panthers game on Thursday.

In February, a man named Antonio Martinez claimed that Steve Smith Sr. slept with his wife. He then shared screenshots of alleged conversations between his wife and the retired wide receiver before deleting them.

A few months later, in April, the man sued Smith in court under the 'homewrecker law.' It is when a spouse can file a lawsuit against a third-party individual for breaking up a marriage. In his lawsuit, Martinez sought a jury trial along with $100,000 in damages. He and his wife divorced after he found her alleged texts with the retired NFL star.

"Mr. Martinez, step to the front please, ain't no need to play this game of trying to expose Steve Smith here," Newton said. "I'mma keep it a big buck as I only know how to, Steve Smith did you a favor bro, cause she was married to you.

"What Steve Smith got going on that's what Steve Smith got going on. But in your household, he did you a favor, bro. He identified who you actually was married to, she ain't loyal to you, she don't belong to you." (TS-6:38)
