Tom Sandoval is no stranger to controversy; the Vanderpump rules star has been at the center of several. Yet they seem to get worse and worse the deeper he gets into public life. In recent days, a video of Sandoval pushing a man into a lit campfire has surfaced, and the drama is intense; it certainly eclipses his earlier cheating scandal. So here’s everything we know so far.

Tom Sandoval and Victoria Lee Robinson’s domestic dispute

Tom Sandoval deals with a domestic dispute and the scandal in a newly surfaced video that shows him acting aggressively. TMZ obtained the footage and released it just this week, but the footage dates back to an incident on June 3rd. According to court documents, on June 3, 2026, police responded to Tom Sandoval’s home for a domestic disturbance.

The incident involved Sandoval’s now ex-girlfriend, Victoria Robinson, and her father. Robinson was arrested the same evening Sandoval claimed his then-boyfriend was physically and verbally abusive towards him. Sandoval requested a temporary restraining order, which he was granted. Robinson and her father, who also lived in Sandoval’s home, were ordered to move out.

Video about the fireplace

While Sandoval insists in his lawsuit that Robinson was the aggressor during their romance, a new video shows Sandoval acting aggressively. The video, obtained by TMZ, captured a confrontation outside Sandoval’s home near a lit bonfire. In the clip, Sandoval approaches Robinson and reaches for her phone, which she uses to record their argument.

Robinson’s father, Will Robinson, moves forward to grab Sandoval for his life. Sandoval then appears to push the older man backwards, into the open pit of fire. The clip ends with Sandoval walking off and the Robinsons following him; the argument apparently continued off camera.

The public prosecutor has chosen not to press charges. The Robinsons have apparently left home. The two sides continue to tell very different versions of the events.

Tom Sandoval and Victoria Lee Robinson Relationship Timeline

Tom Sandoval and Victoria Lee Robinson went public with their relationship in 2024, less than a year after “Scandoval” captured reality TV audiences. Sandoval called the romance a fresh start, gushing about Robinson wherever he could. Things were looking good for the first two years of the romance.

Sandoval sang her praises on podcasts and in interviews. The couple posted loved-up photos as they traveled, looking happy and in love. As recently as Valentine’s Day 2026, Sandoval was still publicly declaring his love. Things began to unravel this spring when the pair unfollowed each other on Instagram.

At first they kept things quiet, but the row in June exposed the split and all that had allegedly been going on behind the scenes.
