Tom Sandoval has broken his silence following Billie Lee‘s claims of drug use and an intervention.
After Billie, 39, took to her podcast to suggest that Sandoval, 41, was skipping out on meetings, sleeping all day, and partying all night, crediting Victoria, 31, for his bad behavior, the Vanderpump Rules star took to his Instagram Story with a statement, slamming his former friend for attempting to isolate him from loved ones.
“Billie Lee’s false claims towards Victoria Lee Robinson and Kyle Chan were designed to damage our friendships and relationships. Victoria, Kyle[,] and I all heard her on speaker phone while she made those accusations. They were designed to isolate me from my close friends for ulterior motives. It’s not a coincidence that she is doing this while I am out of the country and she is on tour,” Sandoval wrote in his statement on June 9.
“I will be addressing everything when I am back,” he added.
Earlier this month, after Jo Wenberg, 35, revealed that Sandoval and Billie were no longer friends, Billie explained their falling out, stating that she cut ties with Sandoval due to his girlfriend’s “toxic” behavior, ongoing fights, and supposed drug use.
She also accused Victoria of moving Ariana Madix‘s belongings from the master suite of the home she still co-owns with her ex-boyfriend.
Following the podcast, Victoria fired back at Billie on a number of occasions, suggesting that Billie was lying about her to stay relevant. In one of her latest Instagram Story posts, she again accused Billie of mentioning her name to promote her tour.
Along with a message from Billie, in which she sarcastically wrote, “To stay relevant, for the rest of my tour I’ll be spilling more tea at every show. Just for you V,” Victoria responded with a meme from Mean Girls.
“Hey Billie quick question… Why are you so obsessed with me?” the meme asked.
Then, in an additional message to Billie, Victoria added, “It’s so obvious you need me to promote your tour… You’re welcome.”
Vanderpump Rules is currently on pause ahead of its 12th season.
