Christine Quinn’s estranged husband Christian Richard has now filed for a restraining order against her – after he was arrested last week for ‘assault with a deadly weapon’ following an incident involving them and their young son.
Richard, 45, who married the ex Selling Sunset star, 35, in 2019, was led away in handcuffs by officers barefoot and wearing only a bathrobe last Tuesday after the incident in which the couple’s only child, Christian Georges Dumontet, two was involved.
It was claimed that Richard threw a bag containing a glass bottle at Quinn, but instead missed and hit their son – but Richard now claims the fight broke out because Quinn’s dogs urinated on his belongings – with the entrepreneur denied hitting their son, per TMZ.
Richard has applied for a temporary restraining order that aims to enforce a “legal force field around him” – which he says is essential in light of Quinn’s allegations of domestic violence against him – which he denies.
Richard claims the two family dogs are not housebroken and are urinating and defecating all over their LA home – and says Quinn refuses to let them train.
He claims he discovered the two dogs had ‘urined on some of his valuables’, despite him closing off the area to the dogs.

Richard, 45, who married the ex Selling Sunset star, 35, in 2019, was led away in handcuffs by officers barefoot and wearing only a bathrobe on Tuesday after the incident involving the couple’s only child, Christian Georges Dumontet, two years old.
Richard was arrested for allegedly throwing a bag of glass at Christine but hitting their son instead
Richard claims that when he went to confront Quinn, he found her in their bedroom with cleaning products and other items “strewn everywhere.”
He says he got angry and grabbed a trash bag on the floor — which he said was full of dirty rags and paper towels — and threw it against the wall.
Richard denies throwing the bag at Quinn and denies hitting their son, while also denying the bag was filled with glass. He says this information was passed on to Quinn by police.
After the bag was thrown, Richard claims he tried to escort his son away from the scene, but claims Quinn took their son and hid in another room in the house.
Richard says the police came in with their guns raised and arrested him because of “lies” Quinn had told them.
He further claims that Quinn filed a false police report and “fabricated” allegations of domestic violence against him to use as leverage in a potential divorce and custody battle.
Richard claims Quinn wants to ’embarrass him’ so she called the police. A judge must still approve his request for the TRO.
