Christine’s SHATTERED WORLD

Christine Quinn and Christian Richard’s marriage comes to a violent end.

The fairy tale is over. A source says Christine Quinn “fully plans to divorce” Christian Richard, her husband of four years, following his March 20 domestic violence arrest — and she’s gearing up for a fight. Christian, 44, “went too far,” says the source, after the businessman allegedly threw a bag containing a glass bottle at the ex–Selling Sunset star, 35, ultimately injuring their 3-yearold son. “This is beyond her worst nightmares,” adds the source, “but she felt she had no choice but to call the cops. Now she just wants to protect their child and shelter him from what’s gearing up to be a nasty split.”

The pair, who cofounded their own real estate agency, met through a mutual friend. “Him and I had an amazing steak dinner and got to know each other, and we just hit it off right away,” Christina said in 2020, gushing, “He’s everything that I ever wanted.”

As she contemplates divorce, the reality star “is going to need a lot of support,” says the source, adding that despite friction with some of her former costars, “she’s really hoping the gang will get behind her. They’re all speechless at how nasty and dramatic it’s gotten and have sent their good wishes.”

Christian, who was escorted by cops from their Hollywood Hills home while barefoot in a bathrobe, “is absolutely mortified by the fact that this has gone so public,” notes the source.” He’s going to dig in hard and fight back, he’s got a lot of money in the bank and access to very good lawyers. It’s all unraveled so quickly.” ★
