The radio personality and model, who married the WBA Welterweight continental champion in 2018, detailed the incident on her YouTube channel, explaining how she confronted an intruder after Conor had only left the house 30 minutes before.
It happened on a Sunday evening when Victoria was eating her dinner downstairs and heard a noise upstairs.
‘So many things were going through my mind, and I had that horrible sinking fear feeling in my stomach,’ she said, adding that she had to check the noise because she was with her child.
Victoria went on to describe how she discovered a man on her staircase and began screaming and shouting at the intruder.
Her neighbors called the police after she was unable to access her phone because it was charging upstairs.
However, the intruder returned upstairs before exiting through the same locked window through which he had entered.
‘It’s probably the scariest thing that has ever happened to me,’ Victoria said of the terrifying incident.
‘I can’t even imagine how frightening it is to find someone in your house when you’re home alone with your child. I can’t describe the feeling and fear that overtakes you.
‘The panic that set in when I couldn’t find my phone was awful. Anyone who has the audacity to break into a woman’s home while she is alone with her child is just awful, it’s disgusting.’
Victoria added that she believed the intruder had been watching the house since Conor had left just 30 minutes before.
She suggested that no one would dare to enter if they knew he was still inside.
‘How horrible it is to know your house has been broken into,’ she added. It’s not a nice feeling to be home alone without Conor, and it’s made me feel very vulnerable.
‘Now I’m afraid that anything could happen when I’m at home alone with Eli. That was, without a doubt, the scariest moment of my life.’
