Christine Quinn's situation appears far from settled, as authorities visited her Los Angeles residence for the second time last night.
The drama within the "Selling Sunset" alum's home began on Tuesday when her longtime spouse, Christian Richard, was arrested for a domestic violence incident. He regained his freedom 24 hours later while Quinn received an emergency protective order.
Authorities Called Back To Christine Quinn's Home
The reality TV star's husband returned home after being held in custody on assault with a deadly weapon charges. However, Richard may not have received a heartwarming welcome as a police cruiser pulled up outside the couple's L.A. residence.
As seen in pictures obtained by PageSix, two law enforcers were spotted sitting inside the police SUV on Wednesday night. However, only one cop exited the vehicle and made his way up the private road to Quinn's home.
It is unclear why authorities visited the couple a second time; however, it comes a day after Richard was arrested for harming the duo's 2-year-old son — a domestic violence incident that sent fans fuming with rage and sympathy for Quinn on social media.
Fans Slam Quinn's Husband In Heated Comments
Following news of what transpired between Quinn and Richard on Tuesday, several displeased fans aired their grievances on X. The majority slammed the real estate broker's husband while others theorized that this wasn't a solo incident.
"I guess we know why Christine Quinn, reality star extraordinaire, had seemingly dropped off the planet," someone lamented, before implying the 35-year-old was a victim of domestic violence. They added:
"She's being abused by her husband and likely under severe control by him. This is awful. Plus they have a very young child. #SellingSunset."
Another X user echoed similar sentiments, writing, "I think Christine Quinn was scared and all and don't think this is her doing. I'm a fan. But since when is a bag on hand with broken glass in it a deadly weapon?"
The upset fan concluded, "Did the police just not like the cut of his jib? Atheism and wokeness have degraded the principle of lawful acuity" [sic].

While many lobbied for Richard's head, others felt troubled by the little boy harmed in the unfortunate incident. One X user highlighted a report about Quinn's son getting injured alongside the sympathetic words:
"Omg I'm thinking of Christine Quinn. How awful this must be."
A fellow supporter declared, "Holy s—. He hit their 3yo with a bag full of glass because it missed Christine!? She better be filing for divorce TODAY #SellingSunset."
"What the h—l I really hope Christine Quinn is okay," another fan penned. More commenters shared similar messages, all wishing the best for the reality TV star and her young son.
Christine Quinn Was Granted An Emergency Protective Order
According to law enforcement sources, Quinn was given an emergency protective order against her husband following Tuesday's incident. She reportedly accepted and would benefit from the arrangement for seven days.
As stated, Richard caused a stir in their home when sources claimed he got into a verbal argument with his wife. In her recollection to authorities, Quinn alleged her husband had thrown a bag with glass in it at her.
While she avoided getting hit by the dangerous projectile, her 2-year-old son wasn't as lucky. The little boy, also named Christian, was injured by the bag, prompting the call to authorities for assistance.
The boy was then transported to the hospital via ambulance, with sources noting that Quinn joined him. As for the perpetrator, Richard was arrested barefoot while wearing nothing but a white bathrobe.
What Went Wrong?
It is unclear what caused the rift between Quinn and Richard, as they appeared to be a loving couple on the surface. While they mostly kept their romance low-key on Netflix's "Selling Sunset," their wedding was well-documented on the show.
There has been little to no drama between the couple on TV; however, the recent incident shows more could be happening behind the scenes. It remains to be seen if this domestic violence case will turn into a full-blown divorce or if the couple will reconcile without issues.
Quinn and Richard first met through a mutual friend, instantly hitting things off that they couldn't wait to tie the knot less than a year later in December 2019. They welcomed their son in May 2021.
