Fire Pit Showdown: Tom Sandoval Accused of Shoving Victoria Lee Robinson's Dad

A heated argument between Tom Sandoval and his girlfriend Victoria Lee Robinson took a dangerous turn when her father got involved—and the whole thing was caught on camera. The Vanderpump Rules star found himself at the center of a physical altercation that ended with Will Robinson, Victoria’s dad, falling backward over a fire pit after Sandoval shoved him.

The incident started, as many arguments do these days, over a phone. Video footage shared on Reddit and originally posted by Will Robinson in a Facebook group on Thursday, June 25, shows Sandoval becoming increasingly animated as he accused Victoria of recording him without permission. What began as a tense verbal exchange quickly escalated when Sandoval approached Victoria and asked if she was filming him. The footage shows him appearing to wrestle her phone away, which prompted Will to step in and try to pull Sandoval away from his daughter. That’s when Sandoval pushed Will, sending him falling backward over the fire pit. The argument continued inside, with Will chasing Sandoval into the house and out of view.

But here’s where the story gets messier. According to court documents obtained by Us Weekly, Sandoval’s account differs significantly from what the video appears to show. He claimed that Will physically grabbed his arms and shoulders first, and that he only pushed back in self-defense to create distance and protect himself. Sandoval said he then retreated to a spare bedroom and locked himself inside. His version of events describes Will following him, threatening him, and even punching a hole roughly 12 by 12 inches in the bedroom door. He also alleged that Victoria entered the room without permission and struck him in the face and temple area, causing blurred vision and lasting medical side effects.

Sandoval called authorities, leading to Victoria’s arrest. She was released the same day on bond. According to a source close to the situation, the relationship between Sandoval and Victoria has now ended. The insider revealed that Sandoval has been the financial support system in the household, covering rent and utilities while Victoria’s father lived there for free. The source claimed that Sandoval endured months of abuse before finally drawing the line.

This drama marks another turbulent chapter in Sandoval’s personal life. He and Victoria have been together since 2024, following his highly publicized infidelity scandal with fellow Vanderpump Rules costar Rachel“Raquel”Leviss, which ended his long-term relationship with Ariana Madix. Now, with his latest relationship apparently over and legal proceedings potentially looming, Sandoval finds himself once again at the center of a Hollywood relationship implosion—this time with documented evidence.
