Christine Quinn Seemingly Shades Ex Christian Dumontet With Scathing Message Amid Divorce
Christine Quinn is selling a new vision for her future.
Four months after her estranged husband Christian Dumontet filed for divorce, the Selling Sunset alum shared a video of her lounging on a boat that included a pointed message for others going through a breakup.
"Remember ladies," Christine wrote atop the video posted to her Instagram Aug. 22, "while you're healing he's balding."
In the clip, the 35-year-old—who shares 2-year-old son Christian Georges Dumontet with Christian—pushed her long blonde hair out of her face as she lied down on the boat in her baby pink bikini. She captioned the post with a reference to Charli XCX's hit album Brat, writing, "#brat #bratsummer #bratslay."
E! News reached out to Christian's rep for comment but has not heard back.
Christine's biting advice comes five months after Christian was arrested for assault with a deadly weapon following an alleged domestic incident at the former couple's house. The following day, he was taken into custody again for returning to the family's home despite Quinn being granted an emergency protective order, per a booking log obtained by E! News in March.
Shortly after his arrests, Christian filed for divorce from Christine after four years of marriage and requested a restraining order against the reality TV personality in which he denied the allegations against him, writing in court documents obtained by E! at the time that he "has never threatened violence and never engaged in any acts that could be construed as violence towards Ms. Quinn."
In May, the tech entrepreneur was charged with child abuse/endangerment, assault and violation of a protective order. E! News has reached out to the Los Angeles City Attorney's office to determine if he has entered a plea but has not heard back.
As for Christine, this wasn't the first time her feelings about their split and ongoing legal battle have come to light. Back in May, her attorney Jacqueline Sparagna shared in a statement to E! News that her client was "extremely satisfied with the decision of the Los Angeles City Attorney's office to file three separate charges against Mr. Dumontet."
"We believe this development is a crucial step toward safeguarding the legal and personal interests of both victims," the statement continued, "and trust that that the matter will continue to be handled with the utmost seriousness it deserves."

During the season two premiere of Selling Sunset, real estate agent Christine Quinn announced her engagement to entrepreneur Christian Dumontet.
Later in the season, the couple hosted an engagement party, where Dumontet gave a speech dedicated to his bride-to-be.
"Christine, I met you in Beverly Hills not even a year ago and I absolutely fell head over heels in love with you," he said. "We were literally in the car and we had an instant banter, which is really special. You don't get that too often."
The pair tied the knot in December 2019, with Netflix cameras filming the festivities.
In May 2021, following an emergency C-section, the couple welcomed a son named Christian Georges Dumontet.
Dumontet was arrested on March 19 and booked on assault with a deadly weapon following a call involving a domestic dispute, the Los Angeles Police Department confirmed to E! News.
A day later, he was arrested again for returning to the family's home despite Quinn being granted an emergency protective order.
In a March 26 court filing, Dumontet denied Quinn's accusations against him, stating there had "never been incidents of domestic violence within the relationship."
Dumontet filed for divorce in early April, citing irreconcilable differences as the reason for the breakup. In court documents obtained by E! News, he requested sole legal and physical custody of their son and asked the court to prohibit Quinn from receiving spousal support.
