The TLC alum claims that her former flame’s past “transgressions” are the reason they are no longer in a relationship, saying it’s “plain and simple: Jay cheated.” Martson responds to the comments Smith made during his exclusive tell-all with In Touch, and the TV personality explains why she thinks he is speaking out now. Scroll through the gallery to find out her reaction to his post-split update.
