Why Olivia Ponton was at Joe Burrow's house during alleged robbery
It's a bit of a bizarre story that has grabbed headlines: per USA TODAY Sports, "Police were called to Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow's home for a reported break-in during the Bengals' "Monday Night Football" game against the Dallas Cowboys.
The person who made the call to 911 to report the break-in? That would be Olivia Ponton, an influencer and model who has appeared in the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit edition. She said she was employed by Burrow.
Per Cincinnati.com: "Ponton told police she found the bedroom window shattered and the room ransacked, the incident report notes. The 22-year-old called her mom, Diane Ponton, after discovering the break-in, and her mom also called the police."
There you have it. We'll see if more comes out about all this soon.
