Christine Quinn’s estranged husband, Christian Richard, has filed for a restraining order against her after he was arrested last week for “assault with a deadly weapon” for an incident involving her and their young son.
Richard, 45, who married the former Selling Sunset star, 35, in 2019, was seen being led away in handcuffs by officers, barefoot and wearing only a bathrobe last Tuesday after the incident involving the the couple’s only child, Christian Georges Dumontet, two years old.
It was claimed that Richard had thrown a bag containing a glass bottle at Quinn, but missed and hit his son, but Richard now alleges that the fight broke out because Quinn’s dogs urinated on his belongings, and the businessman denies hitting to his son, according TMZ.
Richard has requested a temporary restraining order (TRO) seeking to impose a “field of legal force around him”, which he says is essential in light of Quinn’s domestic violence allegations against him, which he denies.
Richard claims that the family’s two dogs are not house trained and that they urinate and defecate all over their Los Angeles home, and says Quinn refuses to train them.
He claims he discovered the two dogs had “urinated on some of his valuable belongings” even though he blocked the area for the dogs.

Richard claims that when he went to confront Quinn, he found her in her room with cleaning supplies and other items “scattered everywhere.”

Richard denies throwing the bag at Quinn and denies hitting his young son, while also denying that the bag was full of glass. He says police relayed this information to Quinn.
After the bag was dumped, Richard claims he tried to escort his son from the scene, but claims Quinn grabbed his son and hid in another room in the house.
Richard says the police came with guns drawn and arrested him for “lies” Quinn had told them.
Additionally, he claims Quinn filed a false police report and “made up” domestic violence allegations against him to use as leverage in a potential divorce and custody battle.
Richard claims Quinn wants to “embarrass” him, which is why he called the police. A judge has yet to approve his TRO request.
