Christine Quinn — the villainous star of “Selling Sunset” — first tasted caviar at 21 while out to dinner with a boyfriend. “Sure, call him a sugar daddy,” she said. “He was. But we had amazing chemistry.” She also had her first filet mignon and her first glass of real Champagne that night.
“It just opened my eyes up to this whole world, which I had never seen before and didn’t even know existed,” she said.
Quinn has had a taste for luxury ever since, showcased heavily across five seasons of “Selling Sunset,” a cage match of a reality show following high-end real estate agents in Los Angeles. In the series, Quinn has carefully cultivated an image of ruthlessness and wasp-waisted drive, raising the eye roll to an art form. When she realized that the producers had given her the villain role, she didn’t fight it.
“I feel like I was the only one that understood the assignment,” she said. “I was the only one that said, ‘Hey, this is a show, and I’m going to give the world a show.’”
In an interview with The New York Times, Quinn discussed her new book, “How to Be a Boss B*tch,” her new brokerage, RealOpen, and her future on “Selling Sunset” — all while enjoying caviar (and Champagne) for breakfast.
