Reality television personality Tom Sandoval has alleged in court documents that his ex-girlfriend, Victoria Lee Robinson, repeatedly kicked him in the groin and hurled insults regarding his manhood during a heated altercation on a tour bus in October 2025, according to legal filings surfaced in August 2026.
The latest legal maneuver in an ongoing restraining order battle offers a stark look behind the scenes of reality television relationships, expanding on a turbulent timeline that has tracked Tom Sandoval and his post-Vanderpump Rules endeavors. As court dates loom, the claims underscore how messy public splits increasingly spill from tabloid headlines into formal judicial filings.
The Bottom Line
- The Allegation: Tom Sandoval claims Victoria Lee Robinson kicked him in the groin and yelled insults aboard a tour bus in Florida last October.
- The Defense: Victoria Lee Robinson has denied the physical accusations, telling outlets she did not touch him and was asking him to keep the noise down.
- The Legal Status: Tom Sandoval was granted a temporary domestic violence restraining order against Victoria and her father in late June, while Victoria’s counter-petition was temporarily denied pending a future hearing.
Inside the October Tour Bus Altercation
The core of the new legal declaration, submitted Monday in Tom Sandoval’s ongoing restraining order case, targets an incident during an October tour stop in Florida with his band, “Tom Sandoval and the MOST Extras.” According to the filing, the confrontation erupted after a concert when Tom returned to the tour bus to check on Victoria.
Tom claims that Victoria had consumed enough drugs and alcohol that venue security personnel had to physically carry her from the venue back to the bus. Once aboard, he alleges she “kicked me repeatedly in the groin area while hurling expletives and insults toward me in the presence of my band mates, tour crew and fans.” He specifically claims she yelled, “You have a f**** tiny penis! F* you!”
Victoria has firmly disputed these claims. In statements to TMZ, she stated, “I did not kick Tom, and I did not touch him. I had taken a shot and asked him to take care of me; he chose not to.” She added that she simply went back to bed on the bus and asked him to keep the noise down, expressing frustration at being continually pulled back into the legal fray.
Backstage tensions were reportedly not isolated to that single night. Tom’s filing claims that multiple venues expressed concern over Victoria’s alleged backstage drug use and that she shared substances with fans. Furthermore, he asserts that his band manager and musical director wanted to ban her from continuing on the road.

Tom alleges that Victoria’s actions created intense stress prior to his appearance during the America’s Got Talent quarterfinals in August 2025, leaving him frazzled and anxious.
The Threat of the ‘Ariana Treatment’ and Legal Fallout
Beyond the physical and verbal allegations detailed in the court documents, Tom claims a psychological toll. He asserts that Victoria continuously undermined his self-confidence by telling him he was “not a real man,” but explains he stayed in the relationship because “she threatened to ruin my life if I left her.”
According to the filing, Victoria explicitly invoked the massive public fallout surrounding Tom’s previous high-profile split from Ariana Madix on Vanderpump Rules. Tom claims she repeatedly stated she would “destroy my life and ‘get the Ariana treatment,’ referring to the public attention and career opportunities my former girlfriend received after our breakup.”
The legal chess match between the two parties escalated significantly at the end of June 2026, when Tom secured a temporary domestic violence restraining order against both Victoria and her father, Will Robinson. Meanwhile, Victoria’s attempt to secure her own protective order against Tom was denied pending a future court date.
As both sides prepare for upcoming judicial hearings, the public-facing fallout highlights the messy intersection of unscripted television fame, private disputes, and the courtroom declarations that increasingly define the modern celebrity breakup.
