Former "Selling Sunset" star Christine Quinn's husband, Christian Dumontet, has been arrested.
Los Angeles Police Department inmate records viewed by USA TODAY Wednesday confirm Dumontet, 45, was arrested Tuesday at around 2 p.m. and booked just before 6 p.m. He faces a felony charge, with his bail set to $30,000.
Dumontet allegedly threw "threw a bag which contained a glass bottle inside of it. He threw it at the victim, but missed the victim and struck a child that was in the proximity," an LAPD spokesperson told Extra. "Child was treated at the scene, not transported, and suspect was arrested on the scene for assault with a deadly weapon."
USA TODAY has reached out to reps for Quinn and the LAPD.
Quinn, 35, and Dumontet were married in 2019, and their wedding was featured in Season 3 of "Selling Sunset." The couple share 2-year-old son Christian Georges Dumontet.
Christine Quinn left 'Selling Sunset' in 2022 after a tumultuous season
Quinn has been away from the spotlight since leaving "Selling Sunset" and the Oppenheimer Group at the end of Season 5 to start her brokerage, RealOpen, specializing in property transactions via cryptocurrency.
"That was not a healthy environment," Quinn told USA TODAY in May 2022 of her old workplace. "It's toxic. It's a cult. I have no desire. Bon voyage."
Quinn's O Group departure shocked some, but it was no surprise to "Selling Sunset" producers, she said, who knew for a year and a half she planned to start her company.
Still, "it wasn't a convenient storyline that Christine went off and started her own brokerage. That's not good TV," Quinn said. So instead, producers decided to "get creative" and drum up a more dramatic reason for her exit. Cue the damning accusation from agent Emma Hernan at the end of Season 5 that Quinn offered one of Hernan's clients $5,000 not to work with her.

Quinn maintained the bribery scandal was concocted for the cameras, including the meeting she seemed to blow off in which she was supposed to discuss the allegation with her former bosses.
"When I heard about it, I was just completely shocked," she said. "I understand they have to make creative television, but no. There was no scene where I was supposed to show up at the office, and the clock is spinning and waiting. Like, nope. You guys didn't call me into the office that day. That's cute, though."
