Christine Quinn's Book Recap: Quotes on 'Selling Sunset,' More

Get ready to be a boss bitch with tips and tricks from Christine Quinn! Of course, the Selling Sunset star is spilling the tea, too.

Christine released her first-ever book How to Be a Boss B*tch: Stop Apologizing For Who You Are and Get the Life You Want on Tuesday, May 17, which came out weeks after Life & Style confirmed that she would be leaving the Oppenheim Group. But, don’t worry, Selling Sunset fans — there’s more Christine to come on the Netflix series.

“The show is, like, my No. 1 [and] everyone knows that. But we just have to get creative now because I don’t work for the Oppenheim Group. … Maybe it’s a battle of the brokerages,” she joked while talking with Us Weekly during an interview released on Tuesday. “I’m not going anywhere.”

Christine’s rise to fame came after the Netflix reality series premiered in March 2019. In the book, she explained how The Hills creator Adam DiVello saw the Oppenheim Group billboard and thought “Is this for f–king real?” before creating the show.

“It was everything I had been manifesting since I was a little girl,” Christine wrote. “I’ve turned the show into the life I’ve always dreamed of. I didn’t just show up for my scenes and then let Jesus and Netflix take the wheel; I worked my f–king ass off playing the game, making binge-worthy drama and building a platform that opened doors for tons of high-profile collaborations, brand ambassadorships, and beauty product lines — all of which we’ll be unpacking throughout this book.”

During the first five seasons of Selling Sunset, Christine made headlines after coming to blows with costar Chrishell Stause, whom she throws some subtle shade at in the book.

At one point in How to Be a Boss B*tch, Christine referred to her time on Selling Sunset as “a Boss Bitch master class.” She explained, “It combines all the lessons I’ve talked about in this book — defining my brand so I can be authentically me, never fearing the hustle, never apologizing unnecessarily, never letting a relationship water down the power of this pussycat, and never — I mean never — feeling sorry for myself when I’m down for the count (did you hear that, Chrishell!).”

That’s not the only example of Christine’s subtle — or not so subtle — shade. Scroll through the gallery for the biggest revelations from How to Be a Boss B*tch.

Her and Heather Rae El Moussa’s ‘Fake Fight’

Christine claimed that the episode when she “can’t get into my listing” was “totally fabricated.”

“There’s a film crew of seventy people filming inside — do you think that no one has access to the front door? I could have made a fuss about how it would make me look unprofessional, but I went with it because I thought it was funny and I’m a good sport,” she wrote. “Then, Heather and I had to get into this fake fight — which I thought we did a really good job of doing.”

However, she didn’t care how the situation made her look. Christine wrote, “I know that I’m f–king amazing at what I do.”

Christine’s Maternity Leave

She and husband Christian Richard welcomed a son in May 2021. Ahead of his birth, Christine wrote, “the producers of Selling Sunset made a comment while I was still pregnant along the lines of ‘You’ll have a maternity leave.'”

When it came down to it, Christine decided “how much time I needed.” However, she did receive hate online after returning to work.

Chrishell Stause Shade

Throughout the book, Christine included some subtle jabs toward Chrishell. One reference included “me and Chrishell” as an example of the universe existing “in a balance.” She also recalled being nominated for “Best Fight with Chrishell — I never do anything half-assed!” at the 2021 MTV TV & Movie Awards.

Getting Fired and Subsequently Rehired

After “pointing out in interviews all the things that were totally fake,” Christine claimed that she was “fired (and then rehired) by the production company.” When it came to spilling all the tea about the show, she wrote, “There was dirt to be shared and these big glossy lips of mine weren’t about to keep any secrets — I didn’t sign a f–king NDA!” Eventually, she said the cast all signed one.

The Main Character

After Selling Sunset premiered, Chrishell remembered it blowing “the f–k up.”

“My fans say I steal the show on Selling Sunset, but what I’m most proud of is how I’ve stolen the show that is my own life,” she wrote in the epilogue. “Yeah, I might have to work with people or who are boring, manipulative, fawning, or backstabbing, but what really matters is that I own my life and that nobody else will ever dim my spotlight.”
