A Los Angeles judge granted Tom Sandoval a restraining order against ex Victoria Lee Robinson through Oct. 1, 2028.
On Thursday, Oct. 1, 2026, Page Six reported that a Los Angeles judge granted Vanderpump Rules alum Tom Sandoval, 44, a civil restraining order against ex-girlfriend Victoria Lee Robinson after the parties agreed and waived a contested evidentiary hearing. The order runs through Oct. 1, 2028. A restraining order is court process. It is not a criminal conviction.

A stipulated civil restraining order sets stay-away and no-contact terms. It is not a jury verdict on an assault charge, and it is not a finding that every allegation in the petition was proved at a contested hearing. Page Six reported Oct. 1, 2026, that Sandoval and Robinson agreed to the order and waived an evidentiary hearing. The order, as summarized in that reporting, keeps Robinson at least 100 yards from Sandoval, bars contact by phone, mail, email, or other electronic means, requires her to leave his Los Angeles residence, and prohibits her from possessing firearms or ammunition through Oct. 1, 2028.
Page Six said the filing shows the parties agreed to the restraining order and waived a contested evidentiary hearing. Under the order as reported, Robinson must stay at least 100 yards from Sandoval, leave his Los Angeles home immediately, avoid contact by phone, mail, email, or other electronic means, leave shared events if he is present, and not possess firearms or ammunition while the order is active through Oct. 1, 2028.
The same reporting ties the civil order to a June 3, 2026, incident at Sandoval's home after which Robinson was arrested and later released on bond. Sandoval's petition, as Page Six summarized it, alleged she punched him near the temple and hairline after an argument about a recording, and that her father Will became involved and punched a hole in a spare-bedroom door. Those petition allegations are what Sandoval put before the court. An agreed restraining order without an evidentiary hearing does not retry those claims as criminal findings.
Page Six also reported that Will Robinson sought a civil harassment restraining order against Sandoval the next day and that request was denied, and that Will described a different account of the confrontation, including an allegation that Sandoval pushed him into a lit fire pit. Competing civil filings and denied counter-requests are process. They are not a criminal conviction of Sandoval or of Victoria Robinson.

Page Six says unsealed records from the Lively-Baldoni fight include Ryan Reynolds texts calling Baldoni a "predator and sociopath."
A text message in a court file is proof that someone wrote something. It is not a finding that what he wrote is true. Reynolds was angry in August 2024, and the records Page Six obtained show it. Baldoni has denied Lively's allegations from the start, and no jury ever ruled on them. Page Six reported the case settled in May. What is left now is the paper trail.

LAPD homicide detectives searched Joshua Tree on Friday for evidence in Christina Downer's disappearance.
A search by homicide detectives is a step in an investigation. It is not an arrest, and it is not a finding that anyone killed Christina Downer. Fox News reported the LAPD would not say what evidence detectives hoped to find in Joshua Tree, or whether they were looking for remains or a suspect. NBC Los Angeles reported that dogs were part of the search. Fox News reported a department spokesperson could not confirm the dogs. No one has been named or charged.

LAPD booked Gregory Walker on a felony assault count in the February shooting of 49ers lineman Keion White.
A booking described to a newspaper is the police account of who is in custody and on what count. It is not a criminal complaint the public has seen, and it is not a conviction. The New York Post reported that LAPD officials named Gregory Walker as the suspected gunman in the February shooting of Keion White. The Post did not report a charge against Lil Baby, who was described as the person White argued with before the shots. What a witness told police about two gunshots is an allegation. A jury has not heard it.
