'Selling Sunset' Christine Quinn Ditches Engagement Ring Amid Marriage Problems

Christine Quinn may have just declared her intentions with her estranged husband, Christian Richard, as she recently ditched her expensive engagement ring.
The "Selling Sunset" alum made waves a week earlier for getting an emergency protective order against Richard following his unexpected arrest.
Now, it seems things between the pair are rocky as Quinn's first public outing since the incident spells trouble in paradise.
Christine Quinn Steps Out Without $1.2 Million Engagement Ring
The real estate broker made her first public appearance at the Xerjoff Vibes and Elle Anniversary celebration event in Los Angeles on Wednesday. Despite her marital woes, she stunned in a nude gown with a bold thigh-high split.
While Quinn is naturally a showstopper with her good looks, the event's highlight wasn't her envious figure but her absent engagement ring. The jewelry, which reportedly features 20 carats of diamonds and is worth $1.2 million, was notably missing as she strutted down the red carpet.
As seen in pictures shared by Daily Mail, the former Netflix star ditched the ring Richard proposed with for a silver band designed with a blue gem in the middle.
That wasn't all; she attended the event solo and had a fun girls' reunion with her former "Selling Sunset" stars Nicole Young and Davina Potratz.

The Mother-Of-One Was In High Spirits
Quinn reportedly appeared to be in high spirits as she mingled with other attendees at the event. This comes a week after her estranged husband was arrested twice in 48 hours — first for assault with a deadly weapon, then for violating a restraining order.
According to new court documents, the reality TV star claimed things went awry between the lovebirds when she called Richard out for the "lack of effort" he was putting into their marriage.
Quinn, who owns two Yorkshire Terriers, noted that her estranged beau didn't take her comments well and turned volatile — going as far as pulling out "dog feces" from the trashcan and hurling it at her. The document claimed:
"I then locked him out, and our son and I spent the night in the master bedroom. I could hear him continuing to shout and yell, and could hear him smashing and breaking things through the house."
Quinn's Estranged Husband Files For Protection
It was previously reported that Richard had thrown a bag containing a glass bottle at Quinn but missed and hit their son instead. However, he denied attacking their little boy and claimed the couple's row had been over her dogs urinating on his belongings.
Earlier this week, Richard clapped back at Quinn's restraining order with his own filing for temporary protection.
He requested the court to make his estranged wife stay 100 yards away from him for allegedly fabricating stories that he physically abused her during their relationship.
He accused Quinn of causing him "emotional or physical harm" on March 19, noting that the abuse happened just that one time. Richard also wants Quinn to move out of their Los Angeles home and not harass him in any form.
Richard Claims He Never Attacked Quinn & Their Son
Sharing his POV of the incident, Richard claimed Quinn owns two dogs that she refuses to train, leading to a constant mess that he has to clean up. On the fateful day, they had urinated on some of his valuable belongings.
However, things went south when he confronted Quinn about the incident. Richard said he found her in their bedroom with cleaning supplies, soda cans, and food waste scattered around.
After Quinn refused to help him clean up, noting she was tired, Richard claimed he "grabbed the trash bag from the floor and threw it to the side of the room, against the wall."
He emphasized that he "did not throw the bag towards Ms. Quinn or their son" and that "there was no glass in the bag, as there was no broken glass in the room or anywhere in the house."
Quinn Was Granted An Emergency Protective Order
Following the couple's fight, Richard was booked on assault with a deadly weapon while Quinn was given an emergency protective order against her estranged husband.
At the time, sources noted that cops had hauled Richard to jail in nothing but his bathrobe over a verbal argument with Quinn. However, in her recollection to authorities, the real estate broker accused him of domestic violence.
She claimed Richard had thrown a bag with glass in it at her, but it missed and hit their son instead. The little boy was reportedly transported to the hospital via ambulance, with sources noting that Quinn joined him.
