Christine Quinn has raised alarming allegations against her ex-husband, Christian Richard Dumontet, suggesting he maintained surveillance on her Hollywood Hills residence even after his imprisonment. According to court records dated March 19, obtained by People on Wednesday, Quinn claims Richard hired a security guard to monitor their home while she was away. Upon regaining access to the property, Quinn alleges she discovered multiple hidden cameras and tracking devices, including in her personal office.
Describing the cameras as being roughly the size of quarters, Quinn expressed feeling violated, asserting that she was unknowingly subjected to surveillance without her consent. Furthermore, she revealed that their $8 million mansion, eventually occupied by the purported security guard, showed signs of intrusion, with her personal belongings disturbed and the residence showing evidence of recent use.
Quinn, aged 34, went on to accuse Richard of attempting to force her out of the house and subsequently causing significant damage, rendering it uninhabitable for her and their young son, Christian Georges. She described the home as hazardous and filthy, making it unsuitable for their living conditions.
This recent revelation adds to Quinn’s prior claims of Richard employing extreme measures to control her movements and prevent her from leaving their property. Despite attempts to reach out for comment, Quinn’s representative remained unresponsive, indicating a reluctance to engage in public discourse on the matter.
In addition to these accusations, Quinn is pursuing sole custody of their child, citing instances of domestic violence and child abuse allegedly perpetrated by Richard. These allegations come in the wake of Richard’s legal troubles, including his arrest for assault and subsequent breach of restraining orders.
Richard’s actions have led Quinn to seek full custody and financial support for their child, as she claims he has not contributed financially since the child’s birth, leaving them burdened with significant medical expenses.
The tumultuous relationship between Quinn and Richard culminated in Richard filing for divorce in April, citing irreconcilable differences. Their journey from a televised wedding to a bitter legal battle underscores the complexities and challenges of their union, as documented in the Selling Sunset reality series.
