Vanderpump Rules Star Tom Sandoval Seeks Restraining Order After Alleged Attack

The drama surrounding Tom Sandoval just escalated in a very real, very legal way. The 44-year-old Vanderpump Rules star has filed for a restraining order against his girlfriend Victoria Lee Robinson, 33, and her father, Will Robinson, following an alleged incident on June 3 that allegedly left him with blurred vision and enough frustration to involve the courts.

Here’s what went down, according to court documents obtained by Us Weekly: Sandoval claims he was in a verbal disagreement with Robinson when he noticed she was filming him. That’s when things allegedly took a turn—he says her dad became aggressive, forcing Sandoval to lock himself in a room for safety. But the confrontation didn’t end there. Victoria allegedly attacked him at home later, hitting him in the face hard enough to blur his vision. Sandoval called authorities, leading to her arrest. She was released the same day on bond.

The filing reveals a household situation that’s become untenable: Sandoval has been living with his girlfriend and her father, and he’s now demanding they leave his house. It’s a stark turn for a relationship that began in 2024—right after the fallout from his infamous cheating scandal involving now-ex Ariana Madix and Vanderpump Rules costar Rachel“Raquel”Leviss. That affair dominated headlines and ultimately ended his marriage, so it’s almost poetic that his rebound relationship has spiraled into a legal battle just two years later.

What makes this story particularly heavy is that it involves allegations of domestic violence—something that goes well beyond typical reality TV feuds. This isn’t a screaming match at a restaurant or a social media callout. This is a situation where someone felt unsafe enough to lock themselves in a room and authorities felt the allegations serious enough to make an arrest. The restraining order filing signals that Sandoval believes the threat is ongoing and real enough to require legal protection.

Us Weekly reached out to both Sandoval’s rep and Victoria for comment, but the story is still developing. For anyone watching this unfold, it’s a reminder that even the glitziest reality TV romances can unravel in the messiest, most serious ways.
