Just a few months ago, Tom Sandoval was painting a rosy picture of his future with Victoria Lee Robinson. In March, he was gushing about their relationship and hinting at something more serious on the horizon. Fast forward to June, and reality star Tom has filed for a restraining order against the model after she was arrested following an alleged assault at his home.
According to court documents, the turning point came on June 3 after a night of drinking spiraled into verbal and physical confrontation. Tom claims Victoria attacked him, hitting him in the face and head so hard his vision blurred. The incident escalated when her father, Will Robinson, allegedly became aggressive during the argument—Tom says he even locked himself in a room for protection before the alleged assault occurred. What makes the narrative even more troubling: Tom says Victoria began recording afterward, seemingly to make herself look like the victim.
But this incident didn’t happen in a vacuum. In his filing, Tom alleges a pattern of abuse throughout their relationship, which lasted more than two years. He claims Victoria punched him in the face, threw a full Gatorade bottle at him, and verbally demeaned him—calling him a“fucking loser”and telling him she could do much better. She allegedly changed passwords on his phone and social media accounts, tracked him via AirTag, and isolated him through controlling behavior. These aren’t isolated arguments; they’re red flags of a toxic dynamic that finally reached a breaking point.
The fact that Victoria and her father were living in Tom’s home adds another layer of complexity. Now he wants them both out ASAP, and authorities arrested Victoria after police responded to his call. It’s a stark contrast to the hopeful messaging just three months prior—a reminder that what looks picture-perfect on the surface can hide something far more damaging underneath. Tom’s filing sheds light on what many don’t see: the cumulative weight of emotional and physical abuse, and sometimes it takes a dramatic moment to finally draw the line.
