The ‘Disgusting’ FaceTime From C.J. Spillman That Donte Whitner Says Aldon Smith's Family Needs To Investigate
Alright, you guys. This is NOT a drill. We’re usually hyping up the Seahawks or the Mariners, but sometimes news drops that hits you hard, and you just gotta talk about it. Former NFL defensive end Aldon Smith tragically died last Saturday at just 36 years old. His family is on the hunt for answers, hiring a team of lawyers to figure out what went down. And now, a former teammate, Donte Whitner, gave them a HUGE lead, pointing a very direct finger at another ex-NFL player, C.J. Spillman. This is wild, folks, and frankly, it’s sickening.
The Bombshell From Donte Whitner
Whitner, a former NFL safety, didn't hold back on The Grit Code Podcast. He spilled everything, and what he described is gut-wrenching. He told listeners that on the very day Aldon died, his phone was blowing up with texts, calls, and FaceTimes from former teammates. And what he saw? He called it "fucking disgusting." You can feel the raw emotion from him. When a guy like Whitner, who’s seen it all in the league, uses words like that, you know it's serious. This isn't just locker room gossip, this is something deeply disturbing.

The Chilling FaceTime Call
And here’s where it gets even darker. Whitner named names. He said C.J. Spillman, another former teammate, called him at 6 a.m. Bali time and put him on FaceTime. What Spillman showed him was beyond comprehension. Pictures of Aldon "slumped over in the front seat" and "laying on the ground in front of the vehicle that he was traveling in," with "all the shit hooked up to his body, pretty much deceased." Can you even imagine getting a call like that? Whitner didn't stop there, either. He flat-out said, and I quote, "C.J. Spillman should have a lot of answers for you." He believes that if Spillman called him with these images, then "more than just me that saw those videos and those pictures" are out there. This isn't just a former player mourning a loss, this is an accusation, a call for accountability, and it's putting Spillman directly in the spotlight of this investigation.
What Happens Next?
Aldon Smith's family brought in lawyers to investigate his passing, and now they have a very specific path to pursue. Whitner’s testimony, and the direct accusation against C.J. Spillman regarding those horrifying images, means this isn't over. Not by a long shot. We'll be watching closely as this heartbreaking story unfolds and hoping Aldon's family gets the answers they deserve.
