Joe Burrow has broken his silence after his home was broken into on Monday night, saying his ‘privacy has been violated in more ways than one.’
Following the burglary, it was revealed in police documents seen by TMZ that Sports Illustrated Swimsuit model Olivia Ponton – and not Burrow’s long-time girlfriend Olivia Holzmacher – was the one who called police from his home amid the break-in.
Burrow – who was playing the Cowboys in Dallas during the burglary – told reporters on Wednesday,’ … way more is already out there than I would want out there and that I care to share.’
The 28-year-old Bengals star added that his lack of privacy was ‘one of my least favorite parts’ of being a pro athlete.
‘That has been difficult for me to deal with my entire career – still learning, but I understand it’s the life that we choose. [But it] doesn’t make it any easier to deal with.’

Olivia Ponton, who has 7.6million TikTok followers, is ’employed by Mr. Burrow’, docs state
Burrow looked visibly upset as he answered questions about the incident, and declined to comment further when asked if he had concerns about his home security.
Ponton is said to have told officers that she noticed ‘a shattered bedroom window and the room ransacked’ when she arrived at the property.
It is unclear why Ponton – who boasts nearly eight million followers on TikTok – was at his home, though documents from the Hamilton County Sheriff’s Office state that she is ’employed by Mr. Burrow.’
The model gave a clue into her potential relationship status in an interview which happened to be published on Tuesday.
‘I think everyone has a ‘revenge era’ at some point in their life,’ she told Cosmopolitan.
‘While I’m not in mine now – I’m very happy and content – about two years ago, I definitely went through that phase.’
