Bravo alum Tom Sandoval is in the midst of another controversy after video surfaced showing an altercation with his ex and her father.
The former "Vanderpump Rules" star – who filed a restraining order against model ex-girlfriend Victoria Lee Robinson and her dad, J. Will Robinson, on June 25 – is seen in footage obtained by TMZ of the June 3 incident at the center of his case.
The video shows Sandoval, 43, arguing with Victoria's dad on a patio, before charging toward her while she is seated and asking if she is recording. Sandoval seemingly tries to wrestle the phone from her before her father tries to intervene and pulls Sandoval off of her. After they separate, Sandoval turns back to the elder Robinson, shoving him into a flickering brick fit pit.
J. Will Robinson appears to try to avoid the fire with no luck, seemingly yelling in pain before getting his bearings and running after Sandoval, who had already walked inside the house.
USA TODAY has reached out to Sandoval's rep and lawyer for comment.

The video comes after Sandoval filed two restraining orders against Victoria, 33, and J. Will Robinson, 56, in which he accused her of punching him in the face and tracking him with AirTags, and her father of grabbing and restraining him, and punching a large hole in a bedroom door while Sandoval was barricaded inside, per court documents obtained by USA TODAY.

A Los Angeles court has temporarily granted the orders until a formal hearing on July 16, and neither Victoria Robinson nor J. Will Robinson is allowed to be in possession of guns, ammunition or body armor as long as the order is in effect.

In a statement to TMZ, J. Will Robinson characterized Sandoval's behavior as "very aggressive and threatening," and said he "lifted Tom off of my daughter because he was overpowering and twisting her arm and trying to take her phone aggressively after yelling at us."
Robinson highlighted that he was the one to call the police "for our safety," and added, "This is my daughter's home and we just want Tom as far away from us as possible and to keep his lies and drunken abuse away."
The reality star, famous for the cheating scandal that shocked the Bravo universe, has previously had legal trouble following the fallout. Ex-fling Rachel Leviss sued him and his ex, Ariana Madix, in 2024, for revenge porn and invasion of privacy after Sandoval allegedly recorded a sexually explicit video of Leviss that Madix allegedly distributed.
