Former Selling Sunset star Christine Quinn is reportedly preparing to divorce her husband Christian Richard, who has been arrested for alleged domestic violence.
Richard is accused of throwing a bag with a glass bottle inside it at Quinn during a “domestic dispute” at their LA home on March 19.
Instead, the bag allegedly hit their two-year-old son, who had to be taken to hospital for treatment.

Richard, 44, was arrested for a second time on Wednesday night after allegedly violating the protective order that was put in place after his earlier arrest.
Quinn, 35, has not publicly addressed the arrest of her husband, whose real last name is Dumontet.
But a source close to the pair told Us Weekly she was getting ready to leave him.
“Christine Quinn is planning on leaving Christian,” the source said.
“She is planning on filing for divorce.”
The first alleged incident saw officers arrive at the couple’s home about 2pm on March 19.
“Victim and suspect were involved in a domestic dispute,” a Los Angeles Police Department spokesperson confirmed to People.
“The suspect threw a bag containing a glass bottle at the victim, missed the victim, but the object hit the victim’s child causing injury.”
Photos showed Richard in a dressing gown wearing handcuffs as police escorted him from his house.
Quinn was not seen in pictures taken outside their home.
Her husband was later arrested for assault with a “deadly weapon”.
The second alleged incident occurred late at night on March 20, the LAPD said in a statement provided to People.
“Last night at approximately 11.40pm our Hollywood officers responded to a radio call,” the statement read.
“The suspect, Dumontet, Christian, was arrested for violation of a restraining order.”
The couple’s wedding was featured on the Netflix TV series Selling Sunset, which followed Quinn and some of her colleagues.
Richard chose not to use his real last name, Dumontet, on the show for privacy reasons.
Quinn left Selling Sunset after season five.
The show tracked her career selling multimillion-dollar homes.
It also followed her journey from meeting Richard, a retired tech entrepreneur introduced through mutual friends, to their wedding and then her pregnancy in 2021.
