Christine Quinn televised her $1.5 million dollar wedding. Her husband has just been arrested.

This post deals with domestic violence.

She was the breakout star in the earlier seasons of Netflix's Selling Sunset, but since departing the series, Christine Quinn's life has taken a disturbing turn. 

Quinn's husband, Christian Richard, has been arrested twice this week. Fans of Selling Sunset will recognise Richard, as the couple's early romance was shown on the reality series, along with their $1.5 million 2019 wedding and lavish 2021 baby shower.

Richard was first arrested on Tuesday on domestic violence charges after an incident involving a "deadly weapon". 

Dressed in a bathrobe, he was taken into custody after the Los Angeles Police Department responded to a domestic dispute call in the Hollywood Hills area of Los Angeles.

"The suspect threw a bag containing a glass bottle at the victim, missed the victim but hit the victim’s child, causing injury," a public information officer told Page Six.

Their two-year-old son was reportedly transported by ambulance and taken to the emergency room. "Christine left the house and rode in the ambulance with her son," an insider told the tabloid.

TMZ reported that following the incident, Quinn was offered and accepted an emergency protective order against her husband which will be in effect for seven days.

LAPD then confirmed to People that Richard was arrested again after failing to follow the protective order.

"Last night at approximately 11.40pm our Hollywood officers responded to a radio call. The suspect was arrested for violation of a restraining order," said the Los Angeles Police Department.

Quinn and Richard welcomed their first child, Christian Georges Dumontet, together in May 2021 following a harrowing emergency C-section, which was also documented on the Netflix series.

Prior to his arrest, Richard kept a fairly low profile compared to his wife, Quinn, who is popular on Instagram. Richard doesn't have social media platforms like TikTok and has remained private on Instagram. His claim to fame before meeting the Selling Sunset star was co-founding online food-ordering service called Foodler, with the sale of the company making him a multimillionaire.

Despite her popularity on the Netflix show, Quinn quit Selling Sunset at the end of season five after clashing with most of her co-stars on the real estate series, including Mary Fitzgerald and Chrishell Stause. She has since made several allegations about some of the questionable practices of the series' creator, Adam DiVello.

After departing Selling Sunset and The Oppenheim Group, Quinn joined forces with Richard to launch a real estate company, Real Open, which handles buying and selling homes through cryptocurrency. 

This story was originally published on March 21, 2023, and has since been updated with new information.
