Tom Sandoval opened up about his falling out with Billie Lee during Wednesday’s episode of his podcast.
Months after Billie blasted the 43-year-old Vanderpump Rules star and his girlfriend, Victoria Lee Robinson, 32, in a series of podcast episodes and live Instagram appearances, accusing them of drug use and claiming Victoria disrespected Ariana Madix‘s belongings in her and Sandoval’s shared home, the couple is fighting back.
“We were close and good friends and it’s very sad,” Sandoval said of the end of his friendship with Billie on the October 23 episode of Everybody Loves Tom. “You feel like you trust somebody and you feel like you have a friend who’s open and honest and real with you and you find out this whole other side and it makes you sort of pull into your shell.”
Reflecting on Billie’s tangent against him and Victoria, Sandoval said her claims were “so frustrating” because they painted Victoria in a negative light.
“It’s so f*cked up for her to create this character,” he stated.
“I haven’t even been able to speak and she’s already created a narrative of who I am,” Victoria agreed. “It’s like, ‘Nobody knows you but I’m going to paint the narrative of who you are.’ And that’s the first thing that everyone hears … [But] I’m not gonna let some person that’s hurting on the inside, or whatever’s going on with her, paint the narrative of my life and who I am because that’s not who I am.”
Although Billie suggested that Victoria was a drug user, Victoria said she’s simply a woman who drinks socially, having drinks at events and, of course, Sandoval’s bar, Schwartz & Sandy’s.
Even Sandoval said that he’s been doing much less socially than he has in the past.
“In like 20-plus years, this is the least that I’ve drank, gone out,” he shared. “I’m much more responsible and I think it took taking that eight months off of drinking. I needed a reset. I never planned on never drinking again. I was just taking a break.”
Looking back on the moments that followed the reveal of his affair with Rachel “Raquel” Leviss, 30, Sandoval recalled Billie initially being Team Ariana before contacting him and helping him around their home.
He then said that she lied about having to give up friends and having lost friends due to their closeness.
“She didn’t lose any friends. People in general were always a little scared of Billie because she would use the trans card,” he explained, giving a nod to her past claims about Jax Taylor, 45, and Bravo.
As Sandoval grew closer to Billie on the heels of “Scandoval,” she propositioned him about being a sperm donor for her potential child. And, at the time, he told her he “would consider” the idea.
In the months that followed, Sandoval began dating Victoria and learned that Billie had been telling people that they were having a child together.
“It freaked me the f*ck out because I know how reactive Billie can get. This is somebody who has been close to me during this time, who can sell stories and get blah, blah, blah. [So] I’m scared of what she might f*cking say,” Sandoval admitted.
After then telling Billie that she wasn’t ready for a child due to her financial position, Sandoval and Victoria began to notice that Billie was creating drama between the two of them.
“It became very invasive and where the falling out came from, I’m hearing all these things being said about me to my friends,” Sandoval explained. “She reached out to my friends and said, ‘You haven’t seen Tom lately because he’s drinking every day.’ It’s like, f*cking ridiculous. I don’t do drugs recreationally. I don’t do that shit. Music festivals, yeah, mushroom trip every once in a while but I don’t do that sh*t and I sure as f*ck ain’t dating somebody who’s doing that either because we wouldn’t vibe then,”
“We found out there were a lot of lies, and we found out they were all coming from her,” he added.
