Tom Sandoval called new romance Victoria Lee Robinson an “addiction,” and he shared what “turns” him “on” about the 31-year-old model.
Plus, in a preview of Vanderpump Rules‘ next episode, Tom’s former friends – who distanced themselves after his affair with Raquel Leviss – suggested he “pays” for friends.
“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,” said Tom on the Billie and The Kid podcast, via Us Weekly. “Obviously I have known her for a really long time, but we went on our first date last night.”
“It was awesome. It was very adventurous and a little crazy,” the star explained. “She is a model, she works a lot and she is very successful. She does well for herself but she is also very humble and really cool. She is just a very sweet, thoughtful person.”
Podcast host Billie Lee – who is also Tom’s good friend – addressed a memory of Victoria.
“Those flowers — literally I had the worst day. [My car was broken into] in Tom’s driveway. My computer and all my makeup was stolen,” said Billie. “It was such a crazy week and then I come back to his house and Victoria literally has those flowers waiting for me and the cutest card that read, ‘I’m sorry you had a bad day and I hope this makes you smile.’”
“That s—t turns me on so much,” Tom responded. “Sweet, nice people like that.”
The pair also bonded about “weird stuff,” like looking out for each other.
“We seem to be very similar in a lot of ways. We are both spontaneous and adventurous. We push it to the max sometimes but we both like to do things like that,” said Tom. “It is funny because her dad is sick and she wasn’t feeling well so I already had soup sent to her house. And she had flowers sent to mine for Billie.”
Tom was also recently caught on camera kissing Victoria with his shirt off. Tom’s friend Billie Lee shared the video on her Instagram page, which was then shared by the Bye Wig Hello Drama Twitter page.

In a preview for the upcoming episode, via PEOPLE, Tom’s past friends addressed his new situation.
The previous episode left off when James Kennedy exited Tom’s birthday party following a fight. In the next episode, James headed to ‘emo night’ with Tom’s former close friends.
“I haven’t heard from him in f—ing forever. It’s been like six months, right?” said James to the group. “So, he decides to text me out of the blue and he’s like, ‘[I’m] having a small gathering, come over.’ So I just thought, what a f—ing manipulative move to invite me on his birthday, right? It was like playing chess. It’s this motherf—er wants to play me, I’m showing up.”
Scheana Shay, in a confessional interview, said she was hurt she didn’t get invited to the birthday party.
“It’s interesting that James, who told people to go throw tomatoes at him on stage, is the first person who’s been unblocked and reached out to by Tom,” she said. “The fact that I reached out to Tom and I’m still blocked, maybe my friendship never meant anything to him. But also, I’ve trashed him and so maybe he feels like his friendship never meant anything to me. I guess it kind of goes both ways in this group.”
James then mentioned his fight with Tom, who had brought up James’ affair with Tom’s then-girlfriend Kristen Doute. In the fight, James called out Tom for betraying him by hooking up with his ex-fiancée, Raquel.
“It just got to the point where I was like, ‘Are you sorry for betraying me?’” said James. “And he’s like, ‘Do you remember like 10 years ago?’”
Tom’s ex Ariana Madix chimed in, “It’s become scary because he literally has no one around him that gives him honest feedback at this point and now it’s people who he pays.”
“That’s the only type of person that would be around someone like him,” commented Lala Kent.
Tom Schwartz, however, said he felt “awful” that he left the birthday party to attend ‘emo night.’
“I love Scheana. Me and James are tighter than ever, but it’s like, we don’t have the history that Tom and I have,” said Schwartz. “I know he’s a doucher and everyone hates him right now, but you don’t come by friendships like that often in life, and I don’t think I want to give up on it.”
