Christine Quinn Claims Abusive Husband Urinated On The Floor, Threw Dog Poop At Her Before Domestic Violence Arrest
Christine Quinn filed for a restraining order against her husband, Christian Richard, and she detailed his alleged outburst in her filing.
In the document obtained by Page Six on Wednesday, the "Selling Sunset" alum alleged that Richard, whose real name is Christian Dumontet, has been suffering from multiple mental health issues, including bipolar, mania and schizophrenia. It reportedly came to a head on March 18, the day before he was photographed barefoot and in a bathrobe when officers arrested him for domestic violence.
In her filing, Quinn, 35, expressed "dissatisfaction" in their marriage due to his alleged "lack of financial contribution" and "lack of effort" to be a "true partner." Also, he was allegedly violent and would yell and throw things at her when he was enraged.

"He narrowly missed hitting me with one of the metal rods, but I was struck by one of [the] boxes he threw," she claimed. "He then opened a can of Red Bull and threw that across the room as well, making more of a mess ... and returned a short time later and threw dog feces at me, which he pulled out of the trash."
She added that he "pulled out his penis and began to urinate on the floor." The alleged rampage reportedly "went on for some time."
"After he collected and threw multiple heavy floral arrangements at me over the course of approximately half an hour, he then retrieved and opened a can of Dr. Pepper and proceeded to pour it all over the bed and the floor, all the while shouting and yelling abuse," Quinn continued.
The Netflix star said she didn't call the police immediately due to fear that Richard "could then seriously injure or kill [her] before the police were able to get through the gate." She also claimed that she recorded the incident on her phone, which caused him to leave their room.
"I then locked him out, and our son and I spent the night in the master bedroom," she continued in her filing before adding, "I could hear him continuing to shout and yell, and could hear him smashing and breaking things through the house."
On March 19, she snuck the nanny to care for her and their 2-year-old son, Christian Georges. They reportedly argued over the mess Richard had made the previous night, and the latter became violent again while she was with the toddler gathering their laundry.
"While I was working, I heard and felt the rush of air from an object hurtling towards me and our son. The next instant, I heard what sounded like glass breaking," she alleged.
Quinn said she saw broken glass on their baby's hair and on the floor. Their son also burst into tears and started screaming, which alarmed her about his "health and safety."
Quinn asked the nanny to call the police, and she confronted her husband. She told him that he needed to talk to someone to manage his anger and mental health issues.
At around 2 p.m., the police arrived at their residence and arrested Richard.
Meanwhile, Richard also filed a restraining order against Quinn and denied "incidents of domestic violence within the relationship," People reported. He also expressed concern that his wife would abduct their child.
In Richard's filing, he said they argued over Quinn's two dogs, "which she refuses to have house or crate trained." Quinn allegedly refused to clean after her pets, telling him "that she tried to clean but was not going to do anything further."
"At that point, Mr. Dumontet grabbed the trash bag from the floor and threw it to the side of the room, against the wall," his filing read. "Mr. Dumontet did not throw the bag towards Ms. Quinn, or their son. Additionally, there was no glass in the bag, as there was no broken glass in the room or anywhere in the house."
Quinn and Richard tied the knot in a lavish wedding ceremony in December 2019. It was documented in one episode of "Selling Sunset" Season 3. They welcomed their son on May 15, 2021.
