Victoria Lee Robinson has changed her tune after insinuating Tom Sandoval cheated on her in a cryptic post shared on her Instagram Story over the weekend.
After Victoria, 32, said a “tiger never changes his stripes,” seemingly referencing “Scandoval,” which saw him being exposed for cheating on longtime girlfriend Ariana Madix, 39, with their friend and Vanderpump Rules co-star, Rachel “Raquel” Leviss, 30, she returned to her Story with a new post, confirming that Sandoval “did not do anything.”
“I would like to sincerely apologize for my previous post. I had a true misjudgment in a situation. Tom did not do anything,” she stated on December 16. “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,” she continued. “The internet can be harsh sometimes and I’m learning how to block out the noise.”
As Victoria defended Sandoval against the possibility of infidelity, she made her previously public Instagram page private.
As Pump Rules fans may have seen, Victoria’s initial post over the weekend had said, “Wow … you guys were right … Tiger never changes its stripes … He loves the best friends apparently … I feel like a fool. Completely heartbroken.” At the time it was shared, it was also revealed that she and Sandoval had unfollowed one another.
While Sandoval never shared what sparked the post, he did take to his Instagram page, where he said, during a live session, that Victoria “definitely made a big mistake earlier.”
Weeks prior, Victoria, who recently moved in with her boyfriend, shared a supportive message to Sandoval in a comment after learning that his and Tom Schwartz‘s business, Schwartz & Sandy’s, was closing down at the end of this month.
“I’m so proud of you… If only you were allowed to properly promote the place on the show as planned. If only someone would have allowed you to have access to the shopping center sign that came with the property so people could see it as the place is in a hidden corner.. (which I tried to pay for and surprise you with MULTIPLE times but was turned down),” she wrote. “The list goes on and on… I felt bad from the beginning for the both of you. I love you and I’m here to support you always. Remember people don’t know what goes on behind closed doors and don’t know all the facts. I love you.”
