What started as a screaming match between Tom Sandoval and his ex-girlfriend Victoria Lee Robinson turned into something far more dangerous on June 3 — and newly surfaced video obtained by TMZ shows exactly how quickly things spiraled out of control.
The footage captures a chaotic scene at Tom’s home where tensions exploded into physical confrontation. Tom and Victoria were locked in a heated argument when he allegedly rushed toward her to grab a recording device from her hands. That’s when Victoria’s dad, Will Robinson, stepped in to intervene — grabbing Tom around the waist in an attempt to pull him away from his daughter. But according to what the video appears to show, Tom shoved Will backward with enough force to send him crashing into a lit fire pit before colliding with Victoria. Will quickly recovered and chased Tom into the house, while Victoria remained outside on the ground, seemingly holding her head after her father fell into her.
The aftermath has become a battle of competing narratives. Tom filed for a temporary restraining order against both Victoria and Will, claiming Victoria repeatedly struck him and that Will threatened him, punched a hole through a bedroom door where Tom had locked himself, and put him in a bear hug. But Will tells a completely different story. He claims he lifted Tom off his daughter because Tom was overpowering her, aggressively twisting her arm and trying to take her phone after yelling at them in a threatening manner. According to Will, Tom then shoved him into the fire pit — an incident that caused injuries requiring medical treatment and additional care. Will also says he was the one who called police for their safety, not Tom.
The kicker? The District Attorney chose not to file charges. That detail alone speaks volumes about how authorities assessed the situation, though it doesn’t settle the question of who’s telling the truth about what really happened in those chaotic moments. Tom Sandoval hasn’t commented so far, leaving the public record to the video evidence and two starkly different accounts of a family conflict that literally went up in flames.
