Christine Quinn<\/b><\/a>\u2019s nasty split with ex <\/span>Christian Dumontet<\/b><\/a><\/strong>\u00a0shocked fans when it made headlines, and she emotionally opened up about the \u201cdehumanizing\u201d experience 11 months after they filed for divorce.<\/p>\n Christian, 46, was arrested in March 2024<\/span><\/a> in connection with an alleged domestic violence incident involving their toddler son, Christian Georges. His legal troubles continued later that month when <\/span>he was arrested again<\/span><\/a> for violating an emergency protective order that Christine, 36, said she was granted.<\/p>\n \u201cEveryone sees the incident that occurred, but this is something that had been going on for a while,\u201d Christine told People<\/em><\/a> in an interview published on Tuesday, March 18, about the issues in their relationship before his arrests. \u201cThis is something that had been under the surface for a long time. It was extremely unhealthy, and I like to think that I\u2019m extremely resilient \u2014 and I am.\u201d<\/p>\n Christine added that the way Christian treated Christian Georges, 3, ultimately influenced her to leave their marriage. \u201cThere are certain things that I could tolerate, and it got to a point where it was affecting my son, and that wasn\u2019t OK<\/a>. I was like, \u2018OK, I can deal with this, I\u2019m an adult,\u2019\u201d she recalled. \u201cBut bringing him into the chaos and everything that kind of ensued, I was like, \u2018No, this is not OK.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n After noting that the interview was the \u201cfirst time\u201d she publicly spoke about her ex\u2019s legal issues, she added, \u201cSome people knew stuff was going on, but no one knew the extent of it in terms of how bad everything really was.\u201d<\/p>\n The real estate agent also admitted that ending the marriage was a difficult decision. \u201cIt was really hard for me because I look at my parents. My parents are high school sweethearts,\u201d she told the outlet. \u201cI made a vow, and I really didn\u2019t want to break that. It took everything out of me, it really did, to realize that this is the right thing to do. And then it became a matter of safety. It was initially safety for me, and then it was safety for my son. And so I had to walk away.\u201d<\/p>\n Christine said that she and Christian Georges had \u201cno choice but to leave\u201d their house in Los Angeles and relocate to Texas following Christian\u2019s arrests. \u201cI really didn\u2019t have a choice. I was granted an emergency protective order so my ex couldn\u2019t come to the house. He violated that, and would keep coming back,\u201d the Selling Sunset<\/em> alum<\/a> continued.<\/p>\n
