Tom Sandovalis wrapped up in drama once again.

On Sunday, Dec. 15, Sandoval’s girlfriendVictoria Lee Robinsonshared a cryptic post on herInstagram Storiesbefore deleting it soon after. According to a screenshot posted to theQueens of Bravo X account, Robinson, 32, seemed to allege that theVanderpump Rulesstar cheated on her.

“wow… you guys were right. tiger never changes its stripes… he loves the best friends apparently,” she wrote before making her Instagram account private. “i feel like a fool. completely heartbroken.”

The following day, however, Robinson issued another statement backtracking on the accusation and praising her relationship with Sandoval.

“I would like to sincerely apologize for my previous post,” she wrote. “I had a true misjudgement [sic] in a situation. Tom did not do anything. From my own personal trauma and experiences hearing false accusations about him all the time clouded my judgement and got the best of me. Please respect him and know he’s actually been the most supportive partner. The internet can be harsh sometimes and I’m learning how to block out the noise.”

PEOPLE reached out to Sandoval and Robinson for comment.

The pair debuted their relationship in February 2024 on Instagram, around the same time Sandoval later revealed the two had their first official date. He then opened up about the relationship during an appearance on theBillie & the Kidpodcast that month.

“This week, my addiction of the week is definitely my friend Victoria that I have been hanging out with. She’s definitely super awesome and she’s one of the sweetest people,” Sandoval said, noting that he and the model knew each other “for a super long time” but kept things platonic until they decided to go on a date.

“[It was] awesome,” he said of their time together. “She is just a very sweet, thoughtful person.”

Before Robinson, Sandoval had an affair with hisVanderpump RulescostarRachel Levissamid his nearly decade-long relationship withAriana Madix. The scandal, dubbed “Scandoval,” which broke in March 2023, was documented on the Bravo show.

It was revealed that Madix accidentally discovered explicit texts between Leviss and Sandoval when she while supporting her then-boyfriend at a Tom Sandoval & the Most Extras show. Months later, she revealed to Alex Cooper on theCall Her Daddypodcast that Sandovalbrought Leviss to visit his family in St. Louis"more than once,” and claimed Sandoval and Leviss hooked up in her Los Angeles home while she was just a few doors away.

“They had sex in my guest room while I was sleeping in my own bed. He and I went to bed together and then he left the bed andwent to the guest room and f—– her,” Madix said.

During theVanderpump Rulesseason 10 reunion, Sandoval apologized to Madix after several heated exchanges.

“I know that you don’t hate me but I want you to know I will. I will always love you,” he continued, crying. “I will always be cheering you on from afar, always.”

Madix, however, did not care to hear her ex’s words. “I will not forgive him, and I will not be cheering him on from afar.”

TheVanderpump Rulescast, sans Leviss, returned for season 11, but after viewers watched friendships fall apart and Madix’s refusal to film with Sandoval, it was announced the show should berebooted with an all-new cast for season 12.

“There had been a long pause in production, and nothing had really changed among the cast since the [season 11] reunion,” a source told PEOPLE in November. “The network felt there was no path forward with the group in that capacity.”
