Vanderpump Rules alum Tom Sandoval filed for a restraining order against his ex-girlfriend Victoria Lee Robinson and her father amid allegations of domestic violence, outlining a series of claims in his legal docs.
Us Weekly obtained the filing in which Sandoval accused Victoria, 33, and her dad, J. Will Robinson, of subjecting him to “verbal and physical abuse” during a heated incident on June 3. (TMZ first reported the news on June 25, 2026.)
Per Sandoval, he initially had a “verbal disagreement” over Victoria filming him without permission, allegedly inciting his father to become aggressive and forcing the reality star to hide. Sandoval said he later suffered blurred vision when Victoria allegedly attacked him at their home. (Victoria was arrested following a 911 call and later released on bond.)
A source exclusively told Us that Tom now wants Victoria and Will to move out of his home, where they’ve all lived together for the past several months.
Tom Sandoval‘s romance with Victoria Lee Robinson has not been immune to its fair share of public scandals.

“They are broken up,” the insider revealed to Us. “Tom has endured this abuse for many months. For the most part, Tom has been supporting Victoria and her dad as Tom has been paying the rent and utilities. Victoria’s dad has been living in the house for free. He put up with far too much for too long.”
Us has reached out to representatives for both sides for comment.
Sandoval and Victoria went public as a couple in 2024, following his highly-publicized cheating scandal with Vanderpump Rules costar Rachel “Raquel” Leviss that ended his nine-year relationship with Ariana Madix.

Tom Sandoval Said He Was the Victim of Repeated Abuse By Will Robinson
In his petition for a domestic violence restraining order, Sandoval alleged that he’d been abused “several times in 2026” by Victoria’s father, Will. Victoria was a witness to this abuse, according to Sandoval.
Sandoval recalled that Will “grabbed me [and] shoved me” and subjected him to a “verbal assault” on May 14 and May 15, 2026. His petition specified that Will is allegedly in possession of multiple weapons, including a club and a knife.
The reality star specifically asked a court to block Will from further abusing him by ordering both Robinsons to stay at least 100 yards away from Sandoval’s home, workplace and car. He additionally asked a judge to force Will to move out of their shared home.
“My name is on the lease,” Sandoval insisted. “I pay for some or all of the rent or mortgage.”
He requested the court to compel Will to enter a 52-week batterer intervention program to learn about “accountability, abuse effects and gender roles.”
Tom Sandoval Submitted a Personal Impact Statement to the Court
Sandoval wrote extensively about his allegations in a declaration to the court, where he outlined why a domestic violence restraining order was necessary.
“I am seeking a restraining order against [Will] based on the verbal and physical abuse he has perpetrated against me, the most recent incident being on June 3, wherein he grabbed me and restrained me, chased me into the bedroom and punched a 12-inch hole in my spare bedroom door where I was barricading myself,” Sandoval wrote in his impact statement. “I am afraid of [Will] and his daughter and request the Court’s protection.”
He described his version of events from June 3 in tremendous detail, revealing that he noticed Will was “visibly intoxicated” when he and Victoria returned home at around 2 a.m.
“He had a beer in front of him and was pouring himself shots of whiskey. His speech was slurred and his posture was unsteady,” Sandoval wrote. “When [Will] is intoxicated – which is daily – his behavior becomes aggressive, unpredictable and volatile. I am also aware that he has access to a club and a knife, which significantly heightens my concern for my safety given his frequent intoxication and the risk that he could use these weapons against me.”
Sandoval recalled having an argument with Victoria over whether she was secretly recording him. In the midst of this discussion, Sandoval alleges that Will physically accosted him.

“He grabbed my arms and shoulders and wrapped his arms around me. Feeling trapped and violated, I pushed him away from me in order to protect myself and create distance, which caused him to fall,” Sandoval claimed. “[Will] was the first person to put his hands on me. At no point did I pursue [Will]. After he grabbed me, I retreated into the residence and locked myself in the spare bedroom to remove myself from the confrontation. While I was barricaded inside the spare room, [Will] followed me, threatened me and punched a large hole approximately 12 x 12 inches in the spare bedroom door, where I had taken shelter.”
During this tense altercation, Will allegedly “put his face in the hole in the door and smiled telling me he will ‘f***’ me up, ‘destroy’ me and called me a ‘motherf***er.’” Sandoval insisted that he called the police at this point.
Tom Sandoval Accused Victoria Lee Robinson of Escalating the Physical Abuse
While the drama between Sandoval and Will was unfolding, the Traitors star alleges that Victoria “entered the spare bedroom and hit my face and temple area towards my hairline.”
“The impact of the blow was so forceful that it caused my vision to blur,” he wrote. “I sustained a bruise near my temple and eyebrow ridge and bled from my ear and neck as a result of Ms. Robinson striking me that night. The pain in my mouth persisted for two weeks, which prompted me to visit the ER to be evaluated. Even after emergency medical evaluation ruled out a fracture, I continued to experience significant pain and a restricted ability to open my mouth.”
Sandoval said that he experienced significant pain for weeks after the alleged physical abuse.
“More than two weeks later, I am still unable to fully open my jaw, which has affected my ability to eat and has required me to seek further medical evaluation,” he claimed.
After the alleged physical abuse occurred, Sandoval accused Victoria of recording him again, at which time she “changed her demeanor and tone, suggesting that she was the one who was being violated.”
“Ms. Robinson routinely manipulates and gaslights me by recording our interactions and saying false things in order to manufacture evidence in her favor, just as she did on June 3,” he argued.
Sandoval specified that he stayed in his spare bedroom until police arrived.
“Ms. Robinson was arrested when it became clear that she had attacked me. As I saw her being arrested, in the heat of the moment, I asked the police officers the process by which she could be bailed out,” he claimed. “I even foolishly accepted Ms. Robinson’s phone call from jail and lent her mother financial assistance for the bail. In hindsight, I deeply regret that decision.”
Tom Sandoval Asked a Court to Force the Robinsons to Move out of His Home
In the aftermath of the incident, Sandoval said that he checked into a hotel. He has continued to live in hotels in Los Angeles, Atlanta, Las Vegas, London and Ontario since the June 3 incident.
Sandoval now wants a judge to force the Robinsons to leave his Los Angeles home.
“I genuinely fear returning to the [home] while [Victoria] and her father remain there,” he wrote.
Tom Sandoval Described Previous Confrontations With the Robinsons
Sandoval offered context for the June 3 incident by referencing alleged past issues with Victoria and Will. He accused Victoria of throwing “a full Gatorade bottle” at him during a verbal dispute on April 3, 2026.
On May 14, 2026, he claimed that he went to a hotel when Victoria “cornered and blocked me in the [residence] and threatened to attack me.” The dispute allegedly started during a trip to Nashville to visit Victoria’s ill relative, per Sandoval.
“During the trip, [Victoria] became jealous because I took a photograph with a fan. Respondent instigated a verbal fight with me while she was intoxicated, causing me to lock myself in the bathroom,” he wrote. “[Victoria] ultimately went downstairs for a cigarette, during which I moved her belongings to Mr. Robinson’s room next door to give us some space. When she returned, she lost her temper again and started screaming and pounding at my hotel door, which I was not willing to open. Hotel security intervened during this incident.”
The Bravo star said he returned to the home on May 15, 2026, to retrieve personal belongings, only for Victoria to allegedly “attack me and hit me in the face and ear.”
“She then wrapped her arms around me and held on to me,” he alleged. “I was trapped in her arms and unable to free myself. She called to [Will], who came running toward me, grabbed me and shoved me out in the hall and out the front door stating, ‘You need to get the f*** out of here right now, you are not welcome here.’”
Sandoval recalled that Victoria’s behavior towards him allegedly became “more hostile, confrontational, and physically aggressive toward,” with Will frequently getting involved in their disputes.
“[Will] accepted her accusations about me without hearing my side, and directed his anger toward me,” per Sandoval. “On one occasion, after Ms. Robinson made false accusations against me, [Will] forcefully grabbed me and shoved me out of my own residence.”
Tom Sandoval Accused Victoria Lee Robinson of Frequent Verbal Abuse
Sandoval documented numerous instances of alleged verbal abuse throughout the relationship.
“[Victoria] repeatedly insulted and demeaned me throughout our relationship. She called me a ‘f***ing loser,’ told me, ‘I can get so much better,’ said that, ‘The only reason people like you is because of me,’ and frequently called me an ‘idiot’ and ‘moron,’” he wrote. “She also told me that I did not have a brain and that I was not a man. Respondent repeatedly undermined my longstanding friendships by attacking the credibility of people close to me, creating conflict and mistrust in relationships that had been important to me for years.”
He continued, “[Victoria] repeatedly created conflict within my friendships by crossing boundaries with my male friends and acquaintances, then accusing them of ‘hitting on’ her and insisting I could not trust them. This pattern occurred repeatedly, including with two close friends who were also coworkers and with a fellow Bravo personality during BravoCon 2025. After I caught Respondent being intimate with another man in December 2024, she falsely accused me of infidelity on Instagram, damaging my personal and professional reputation.”
Tom Sandoval Documented Will Robinson’s Alleged Alcohol Use
In his petition, Sandoval alleged that he “personally observe[d Will] consume alcohol every day.”
“[Will] keeps a separate refrigerator in his bedroom that is consistently stocked almost exclusively with beer,” he further claimed. “I have observed [Will] regularly consume copious [amounts] of liquor, which causes him to become hostile, unpredictable and aggressive toward me, especially during conflicts involving Ms. Robinson.”
Tom Sandoval Accused Victoria Lee Robinson of Using a GPS Tracker on His Car
Sandoval alleged that Victoria used a GPS tracker on his vehicle “after the June incident.”
“I took the vehicle to the auto shop. [Victoria] tracked the vehicle through a GPS tracker and retrieved it from the shop without notifying me,” he alleged. “I have regained possession of this vehicle, but I am concerned that [Victoria] may try to take it again without consulting me. I do not have any other vehicles that I can use.”
Tom Sandoval Accused Victoria Lee Robinson of Tampering With His Devices
Sandoval relayed multiple incidents where he claimed Victoria allegedly tampered with his private devices, including a mobile phone and iPad.
“On a recent occasion, while attempting to change my iPhone passcode, the device
prompted me to confirm whether I wanted to modify the alternate Face ID,” he recalled. “I have never set up my iPhone to permit any individual other than myself to access it using facial recognition. Suspecting that [Victoria] had accessed my phone settings, I confronted [Victoria] who denied she had modified the settings. However, when I placed my locked phone in front of [Victoria’s] face, the phone unlocked, even as [she] tried to distort her face and close her eyes to avoid the facial recognition. [Victoria’s] ability to unlock my phone would have given her access to my private text messages, emails and other applications and the ability to delete and restore data.”
Tom Sandoval’s girlfriend Victoria Lee Robinson explained why they both deleted their social media accounts amid the reality star’s lawsuit against ex Ariana Madix. “We both deactivated our Instagrams once he found out about what the filing really meant,” Robinson, 32, wrote via Instagram comments, which she then screenshotted and shared to her Story. “We […]
He also accused Victoria of tampering with his social media.
“To make matters worse, around the same time, I noticed that my manager’s contact email and my Cameo link had been removed from my Instagram account, certain photographs had been archived, and an Instagram story commemorating the third anniversary of a close friend’s death had been deleted shortly after it was posted,” he alleged. “As I investigated, I discovered that my password had been changed, my recovery phone number had been replaced with a phone number associated with [her], and another device, consistent with the description and location of [her] phone, remained logged into my account.”
Tom Sandoval Expressed Fear of the Alleged Abuse Continuing
As he summed up his request for domestic violence protection, Sandoval shared his fear that the alleged abuse would continue unless the court intervened.
“My fear of Respondent is based on the escalating pattern of his conduct toward me over the past several months, my repeated efforts to avoid confrontation, the violence that I experienced on June 3 and my inability to safely return to my own home while [Will] remains there with Ms. Robinson as I continue to pay 100 percent of the utilities and the rent,” he claimed. “I believe that the abuse will continue unless the Court intervenes.”

“The situation has been especially difficult as the majority of my personal belongings remain at the [residence], including essential equipment I need for work as well as irreplaceable, limited edition items of significant personal value, which Ms. Robinson has threatened to take or dispose of,” he alleged. “I do not feel safe returning to the [residence] while [Victoria] and Ms. Robinson continue to remain there.”
Sandoval said he made three separate attempts to retrieve his belongings since June 3, though “each attempt resulted in intimidation, threats or interference by [Victoria] and her father.”
