Smith supported Ant and emphasized that the conversation should have never been publicized and that the model did it to humiliate the Wolves star and control him using public defamation.
Smith said, “I am just wondering when are some of the laws are going to come into a place where these people like Anthony Edwards and others can retaliate legally for people putting their private messages on blast?… She did it to humiliate him and compel him to think the way she wants, so she is using the public to do it by destroying his privacy.”
Edwards spoke on the matter later and said that he would sort it out himself in private, whilst refraining from making any public comments.
