Trigger Warning: This story contains mention of domestic violence.
Christian Richard, the husband of former Selling Sunset star Christine Quinn, was reportedly arrested Tuesday for domestic violence.
Photos obtained by Page Six show Christian–- whose legal name is Christian Demontet–- being taken into custody from his home while handcuffed, barefoot and wearing only a bathrobe.
According to outlet, the Los Angeles Police Department responded to a call at the couple’s home on Tuesday around 2 p.m. relating to a domestic dispute that resulted in the pair’s two-year-old son, Christian Georges Dumontet, getting injured.

“The suspect threw a bag containing a glass bottle at the victim, missed the victim but hit the victim’s child, causing injury,” the LAPD told the outlet, while also confirming that the child injured was Christine’s son.
“The child was seen by paramedics but not transported to the hospital.”
A source told Page Six that the couple’s son was ultimately taken to the emergency room via ambulance later on Tuesday and that Christine rode in the ambulance with the two-year-old.
Christian was reportedly booked for an assault with a deadly weapon (felony level) and remains in police custody. According to records obtained by The Ashley, Christian is still behind bars and being held on a $30,000 bail as of press time.
Christine has yet to speak out about her husband’s arrest.
Christine exited ‘Selling Sunset’ prior to Season 6, though fans of the Netflix reality series likely remember watching her and Christian tie the knot on-camera in an elaborate wedding ceremony that took place in 2019.
After Christine left The Oppenheim Group, she and Christian went on to launch their own real estate company, RealOpen. The couple welcomed their son, Christian Georges, in 2021.

Frankly, he always looked like his parents never told him no. Something definitely seems off with him.
Hope the little boy is okay.
Oh, wow! This is just a lot. I hope the child is OK, it doesn’t make sense why 911 would be called a day later, but ok. The fact her husband is arrested in a robe and no shoes is another odd part to the story. I did watch Christine on a couple seasons of “selling sunset”, that’s all I will say. We don’t know the facts of the case.
If you go to the Page Six article comments section, there’s a ton of people blaming Christine for this guy throwing a bottle at her and hitting their child. That’s why I prefer to read The Ashley. However there are pictures of him being escorted out barefoot in a white bathrobe that appears to have some kind of logo on it ie probably stolen from a hotel. Police must have really not liked him to deny him shoes.
I hope their child is OK.
Dunno what yall think but I really doubt this is an isolated incidence of violence. Christian’s got himself a rage issue. Another wealthy white man who lays his hands on his woman. Gross.
