A video has surfaced of reality television star Tom Sandoval pushing his ex-girlfriend Victoria Lee Robinson’s father into a lit fire pit.
TMZ shared the footage on Thursday, in which the Vanderpump Rules alum got into a heated conversation with Victoria and her father, J. Will Robinson. Things took a turn when Sandoval accused Victoria of filming him, and Will appeared to pull him away from his daughter. Then, in the video, Sandoval pushed Will and he toppled over the fire pit.
The video cuts off as Sandoval returns to the inside of the home, and Will can be seen running inside after him. The confrontation allegedly took place on June 3, per TMZ, the same day Victoria was arrested on a charge of intimate partner battery with physical violence.
Also on Thursday, the reality TV personality filed a request for a domestic violence restraining order against Victoria, per People. In the court filing, which the outlet obtained, Sandoval claims that his former partner was verbally and physically abusive on June 3, and that she punched him in the face, which injured his neck and ear. He also alleges that Will “lunged” at him “in his inebriated state,” and left a hole in a bedroom door. There were also additional photos included of Sandoval’s injuries.
On Friday, also per People, Will filed a request for a civil harassment restraining order against Sandoval, claiming he “seriously injured” him.
The Hollywood Reporter has reached out to Sandoval’s rep for comment, but did not hear back by the time of publication.
Sandoval and Victoria confirmed their relationship in early 2024. Their romance marked the Vanderpump Rules star’s first official partner following his cheating scandal on the reality TV show. He previously dated Ariana Madix for nine years before he was caught having an affair with their co-star Rachel Leviss during the show’s tenth season.
The controversy brought newfound virality to Vanderpump Rules, boosting Madix’s career and launching the Bravo spinoff The Valley. However, the cast could not move on from the damage of the cheating scandal. After one final season with the original stars in season 11, the show was rebooted with a new slate for season 12.
