Tom Sandoval Faces Restraining Order after Fire Pit Altercation with Ex‑girlfriend’s Father

On June 3, a dispute at a Los Angeles rental home involving former Vanderpump Rules star Tom Sandoval, his ex‑girlfriend Victoria Lee Robinson, and her father J. Will Robinson was captured on video. Sandoval allegedly shoved Will Robinson into a lit fire pit on the patio after a heated argument over a phone recording. Both parties filed restraining orders: Sandoval obtained a temporary order against Victoria and her father, while Will Robinson filed a counter‑order alleging severe injuries, including a broken thumb, fractured elbow, a herniated disc and a heel wound. The court issued immediate move‑out orders for the Robinsons, barred them from possessing firearms and required them to stay at least 100 yards from Sandoval, his residence, workplace and vehicle. A hearing to determine longer‑term protection is scheduled for July 16. Police were present to enforce the orders, and Victoria Robinson was briefly arrested for intimate‑partner battery before being released on bail. The incident has drawn extensive media coverage and highlights ongoing domestic‑violence claims between the parties.
