Former Vanderpump Rules star Tom Sandoval has been accused of infidelity by new girlfriend Victoria Lee Robinson – after he was caught at the center of the viral ‘Scandoval’ affair in March 2023.
On Sunday night, Robinson, who has been with Sandoval, 42, for nearly a year amid the fallout from his previous relationship drama, posted a since-deleted Instagram story that implied that he had cheated.
‘Wow… you guys were right,’ the model, who previously dated Leonardo DiCaprio, wrote in the Instagram story.
‘Tiger never changes its stripes…’ the 32-year-old continued, ‘He loves the best friends apparently.’
‘I feel like a fool,’ the message concluded. ‘Completely heartbroken.’
DailyMail.com reached out to Sandoval and Robinson’s representatives for comment.
One insider close to the couple told DailyMail.com: ‘They fight constantly and have a very toxic relationship, but I don’t think he cheated on her.’
Another source added: ‘They got into a huge fight in Chicago and Victoria left the trip early. It’s typical for these two because they’re always partying or fighting. There’s always some drama going on.’
Sandoval, who became a viral household name after it was discovered that he had cheated on his longtime girlfriend of nine years, Ariana Madix, 39, with former costar Rachel ‘Raquel’ Leviss, 30.
Madix had discovered the betrayal after she found an X-rated screen recording of Rachel on FaceTime with Sandoval on his phone.
The fallout was captured in real-time on season 11 of Vanderpump Rules, and became a nationwide scandal, with comedian Roy Wood Jr. even making a joke about it while hosting the 2023 White House Correspondent’s dinner.
Madix had discovered the betrayal after she found an X-rated screen recording of Rachel on FaceTime with Sandoval on his phone.
Sandoval began dating Robinson in early 2024, per People, and has fiercely defended him in the public eye.
On Monday morning at around 6am PST, after Robinson had posted that message to her Instagram, Sandoval, looking tired, went on Instagram live to share a bizarre recap of what’s been happening recently, as many asked about the status of him and his girlfriend.
He began to explain that the two of them were attending a concert, Twisted Xmas With Bush, in Chicago this past weekend.
‘I had a f***ing hell of a week,’ he began in the clip captured by DailyMail.com as he launched into the trip he took with Robinson.
In the comments section, someone asked him about the Instagram story she had posted, to which he said he would tell the audience the story of what had happened.
However, it took him a while to tell the story, as he proclaimed that it was ‘a lot,’ and took a swig of beer.
The video then began to freeze, but he later came back to start telling the tale.
‘We went there and, me and Victoria had an awesome, awesome time, and, it’s so hard to say this, but we went to the Bush concert that got transferred over to The Vic, and I busted my a** to make sure that she was noticed, and she’s holding up a sign saying, like, “Your music saved my life, all this stuff,”‘ he rambled, before taking a long pause.
He then took a drag from his cigarette, while proclaiming that he doesn’t even smoke anymore.
‘I filmed her, she’s holding this up, like the whole time, like it got transferred to the Vic…’ he continued.
‘I got us backstage, f***ing it was a whole f***ing issue getting us backstage,’ Sandoval said, as his live video then began to freeze and lose connection.
It seemed like Sandoval never finished his story, so it’s unclear exactly what happened between the two this weekend.
In the past, the two have stood by each other despite the public scrutiny that Sandoval has received from Bravo and non-reality television watchers alike.
Last year, the Vanderpump Rules star gushed about his ‘addiction’ to the ex-flame of DiCaprio while appearing on the inaugural episode of his former co-star Billie Lee’s podcast Billie & The Kid.
‘My addiction of the week is definitely my friend Victoria that I have been hanging out with,’ the St. Louis native dished.
‘She’s definitely super awesome and she’s one of the sweetest people. Obviously I have known her for a really long time, but we went on our first date last night.’
He revealed that they had a date at Schwartz & Sandy’s Lounge, which he co-owns with cast member Tom Schwartz and is set to shutter its doors at the end of this year.
He even called the date ‘adventurous.’
Sandoval revealed Victoria ‘works a lot’ and ‘is very successful’ in her modeling career, ‘but she is also very humble and really cool. She is just a very sweet, thoughtful person.’
