Victoria Lee Robinson Hits Back After Tom Sandoval's Restraining Order

When a relationship implodes, the narrative wars begin—and right now, Tom Sandoval and Victoria Lee Robinson are living that nightmare in the public eye. On Thursday, July 9, Robinson, 33, released a statement through her legal team making it clear she’s not going to let Sandoval’s version of events define her future.

The core dispute centers on a June 3 incident that escalated into dual legal filings. Sandoval, 42, sought a domestic violence order of protection against both Robinson and her father, J. Will Robinson, claiming they committed verbal and physical abuse during an argument about whether she was recording him without permission. According to his court statement, Will allegedly grabbed his arms and shoulders, forcing Sandoval to push back—a shove that caused Will to fall. Sandoval also accused Victoria of striking his face and temple area, describing vision problems and lingering medical side effects. The reality star called 911, leading to Victoria’s arrest, though he later acknowledged helping arrange her bail.

Here’s where things get complicated. Robinson’s statement reframes the entire power dynamic. She owns the home—both names are on the lease, she paid the deposit and first month’s rent, and nearly everything inside is hers. That detail matters. She’s not a guest or an intruder; by her account, she’s a co-tenant defending her own space. She also filed her own restraining order request, though the court did not grant it. Now, with McCune Law Group representing her and her father, Robinson is preparing to challenge Sandoval’s narrative in court. Her attorney, Cory Weck, stated bluntly:“What’s been reported doesn’t match the allegations set forth in our client’s filings, and we intend to prove that.”

The timeline adds another layer. Sandoval and Victoria went public as a couple in 2024, just months after his cheating scandal with Vanderpump Rules costar Rachel“Raquel”Leviss imploded his nine-year relationship with Ariana Madix. By March 2025, Sandoval was publicly praising Victoria as his“rock,”calling the relationship a fresh start and a partnership built on shared goals. Now, less than 18 months in, they’re locked in a legal battle over who did what in a room on June 3.

What stands out most isn’t the competing claims—it’s the asymmetry of power and platform. Sandoval’s allegations went public through mainstream outlets. Robinson’s response, by contrast, came via a legal statement and her attorney’s words. One side had the megaphone first. Whether that matters legally is up to the court; whether it matters in the court of public opinion is another question entirely. Robinson’s statement is a calculated move: she’s asserting her version of events, her ownership stake in the home, and her determination not to be buried under someone else’s story. The next chapter will be written in a courtroom, not on reality TV or social media—and that’s probably the only place where the actual truth has a chance to emerge.
