And he told them he felt like “my privacy has been violated.”

An emotional Burrow took to the podium and issued a short statement before questions.

“I feel like my privacy has been violated in more ways than one,” he said.

“And way more is already out there than I would want out there and care to share.”

Burrow was asked a follow-up question about the burglary.

He said, “We live a public life, and you know, one of my least favorite parts of that is the lack of privacy and that has been difficult for me to deal with my entire career.

“I’m still learning, but I understand it’s a life that that we choose.

“It doesn’t make it any easier to deal with.”

The quarterback then moved on from questions about the burglary to focus on this week’s game against the Tennessee Titans.

Burrow’s house was broken into while he played on Monday night against the Dallas Cowboys.

A transcript of a panicked 911 call made by the mother of a woman staying at the house has been shared.

Sports Illustrated swimsuit model Olivia Ponton called in the burglary at Burrow’s home, as reported by TMZ.

The woman said that someone was trying to break into the house in Anderson Township, Ohio, while she was on the phone.

In the call, the woman can be heard saying, “Someone is trying to break into the house right now. My daughter is there.

“This is Joe Burrow’s house. She is staying there. He’s at the football game.

“She’s wondering what she should do, if she should be hiding, or if she should go outside,” the caller said, as reported by NBC affiliate WLWT.

“She said someone was in the house.”

During the call, the woman can be heard talking to a man who was working security at the house, confirmed by the dispatcher.

Burrow lives in the $7.5 million house he bought in 2023 with his girlfriend Olivia Holzmacher.

Hamilton County Sheriff’s Office didn’t immediately respond to The U.S. Sun’s requests for comment.

It comes as the NFL issued a security alert to teams and the players’ union following recent burglaries.

Kansas City Chiefs stars Patrick Mahomes and Travis Kelce both had their homes broken into during games.

The U.S. Sun revealed that Kelce’s first Super Bowl jersey was among the items stolen from his mansion in Leawood, Kansas.

An FBI investigation is underway, assisting cops from the Cass County Sheriff’s Office and Leawood Police Department.

The bureau says the FBI’s involvement is not due to the high-profile nature of the victims, but because the burglaries were part of a larger crime spree that crossed state lines.
