Not sure what happened. But from what I heard Paul staged a fight to make it look like Victor turned against him and Paul sided with Nicole and Corey or something like that.
Victor and Paul planned a fight as to where Victor would be "calling Paul out" on working with Nicorey and backstabbing him
Nicorey didn't defend themselves because they have the brain capacity of a peanut so James/Michelle/Natalie think Victor is telling the truth and want to keep him over Corey
