Christine Quinn claims estranged husband Christian Richard 'faked a suicide ... trends now
Christine Quinn claims her estranged husband Christian Richard 'faked a suicide attempt' to 'test' her love while abroad last year.
In new court documents, obtained by Page Six, the former Selling Sunset star, 35, who is requesting a restraining order against the tech entrepreneur following his arrest for assault at their home last week, detailed the alleged ordeal.
Quinn stated that after flying from Paris to Hungary to reunite with Richard, 45, after attending Fashion Week, he 'faked a suicide attempt to see if' she 'cared about him.'
'[Richard] became angry at me, questioning why I needed to work, asserting that he was providing for everything,' she continued. 'That night, in our hotel room, I watched [Richard] pour handfuls of pills [and] appear to shove them into his mouth, with pills flying out of his hands and spilling on the floor, and then tell me he was dying.'

When she asked him what he wanted her to do to help, Quinn claims he asked her to 'just stay with' him.
'When I asked him what pills he took and how many, so I could help him, he just told me he took many other pills that day,' she recalled.
The mother-of-one explained the experience was particularly frightening as she 'had no idea how to call for emergency services' in Hungary.
'I was terrified that [Richard] had poisoned and endangered himself. After what felt like an hour of [Richard] apparently falling in and out of consciousness and me being terrified, he suddenly appeared sober again and said 'you passed the test, you really do love me,'' Quinn alleged in the filing.
Afterward, when she 'realized' he 'faked the whole thing,' Quinn says she 'became very afraid of [Richard], and what else he could potentially do.'
Quinn, who wed Richard in 2019, previously claimed in legal documents that Richard threw a bag containing a glass bottle, but missed, and hit their son.
The entrepreneur has denied hitting their son and later filed his own request for a temporary restraining order - which was denied.
In documents, obtained by TMZ, Quinn says her marriage was in decline for several years with their tensions erupting last week when she tried to discuss the family's financial woes with the retired millionaire.
She claims this angered Richard and he started 'throwing decorative items at her' - some of which contained metal rods.

She further claims he pulled his penis out and started urinating on the floor - later allegedly hurling dog feces at her during their row.
Quinn said the row calmed down - but made her determined to leave him for him - so she claims she secretly made plans to do so with their son the next day.
She says she invited a nanny over to ensure Richard 'wouldn't lock the home down.'
Quinn claims she was quietly packing her things on March 19 when Richard came storming into their room yelling - before throwing a bag of recyclables at her - only to miss and hit their son. She claims there was glass in the bag.
Once their son began 'screaming and crying' Quinn says she fled the room with the toddler and called 911 - before Richard was arrested.
She says she has been staying at a hotel and fears for her safety.
She further claims Richard is controlling and has mental health issues, with things worsening last year.
Quinn further alleges Richard is monitoring her digitally and in the TRO is asking the court to force him off her electronic accounts.
She requests protection for their son and is asking for sole physical/legal custody of the boy until their issues can be heard in front a judge, and asking for monitored visitation after that.
DailyMail.com has contacted Quinn's representative for comment.
Richard had filed for a temporary restraining order (TRO) that seeks to enforce a 'legal forcefield around him' - which he says was essential in light of Quinn's domestic violence allegations against him - which he denies.
Richard claims the two family dogs are not housetrained and urinate and defecate all over their LA home - and says Quinn refuses to have them trained.
He claims he discovered the two dogs had 'urinated all over some valuable belongings of his' despite him blocking off the area from the dogs.
