Tom Sandoval’s former friend Billie Lee claimed he “secretly records” his fights with girlfriend Victoria Lee Robinson because he’s “afraid.” Billie also leaked texts from a woman who allegedly dated Tom before Victoria, and who claimed he wanted his next girlfriend to be “more famous” than him.
Billie’s friendship with Tom was strong on the latest season of Vanderpump Rules, but they recently had a falling out. Since then, Billie has publicly accused Tom of drug use amid his new relationship, claimed there was an intervention, and blamed Victoria for his behavior. Victoria clapped back by saying Billie was trying to stay relevant, and Tom accused Billie of trying to isolate him from friends.
“Tom secretly records Victoria and his fights because he’s afraid,” said Billie Lee on her Billie & The Kid podcast, via @breakingtherulespod on Instagram. “Because she gets manic.”
According to Billie, the couple had a fight on Billie’s birthday, and Tom claimed she was “f**ked up” at the time as well as “evil to him and abusive.”
“I said, ‘Tom you just survived a scandal,'” said Billie. “‘Like this ship is already sinking, like would you really want someone to take it down? Like you should not be dating someone who is physically fighting with you … All it takes is a 911 call and her being manic and making up some s**t and it’s over, babe.'”
Billie suggested that Victoria is “attaching” herself to Tom because she’s “all about fame.”
“It would benefit her so much if she dialed 911 and was like Tom Sandoval hit me,” said Billie. “Like boom, she’s immediately in the public again … And also Tom [told me] this: ‘Like I gotta be careful cause look at Ariana’s career. Like any other girl can come in and do the same thing … I gotta start recording our fights to make sure if this goes down I can defend myself.'”
At some point, Billie read texts from a woman who allegedly dated Tom this winter before Victoria.
According to Billie, the anonymous woman texted: “Before I met Victoria … I should have seen the way Tom is because I remember some really insulting things, like minutes after we had sex one day, he said to me, ‘My next girlfriend has to be more famous than me. I can’t have anybody riding my cocktails’ — as I’m still sitting there naked, not famous.”
Billie also claimed Tom said – before his romance with Victoria – that he “really” wanted to date a “tall model.”
