At one point in the new series of Selling Sunset, Christine Quinn is more or less forced to go to a “mindset coach”to stop her slagging people off.
But instead of “closing the door to drama, for once and for all”, we only discover more.

Finally it's here — series 4 of Selling Sunset. For more than a year we've been starved of the sight of extremely tall, rake-thin women strutting into extremely large, luscious houses in LA, asking each other:
“What do you call the kitchen off the main kitchen?”

Most of the best parts are brought to us by its extraordinary villain, Christine Quinn.
She is outrageously watchable — a kind of sexy, thin, diamond-encrusted emu Marilyn Manson: nearly 6ft of Texan boss bitch.

Hardly a scene goes by without the hilarious Quinn, 33, telling us how much she loathes her colleagues.
She prickles with savage one-liners — “You look like a slutty Big Bird.” About her colleague Chrishell, then a new agent: “She can sit on the floor until she’s proved herself.”
At the end of the new series the fight gets so nasty that Quinn spends the best part of 20 minutes of the finale in tears at a party, screaming “You guys are horrible” and “You guys are monsters.”
"It is like nothing I have ever seen on a reality TV show," writes @camillalong, who spoke to Quinn for @TheSTStyle.

How is she doing? Well, she still has “trauma” from giving birth, she says. She had to film all through her pregnancy, 12 hours a day.
She ended up having an emergency C-section. She was in so much “excruciating pain” that she “blacked out”.
"At this point “they took my husband out of the room and they said, ‘You need to choose one right now — baby or Christine?’ And he was, like, ‘You need to do both.’”

“The time I walked into the hospital to the time the baby was born,” she says, “was 22 minutes.”
If there had been traffic, “I would have probably died myself, along with the baby.”

She had a few days off and then she went back to work, a little more than a week later.
She says she is so “go-go-go” she gets bored if she sits around the house — a $5 million shag pad with infinity pool, floating staircase and “environmentally friendly fireplace.”

If you want people to “see your side”, she tells me, you have to get up and get back on the show, even if you’re splitting at the seams.
Her husband can’t watch the show because it is “edited and manipulated and spun and turned around.”

Christine moved out of her parents house in Texas after getting arrested on her 17th birthday.
“At my birthday someone gave me a little marijuana. My parents taught me a lesson. They left me in jail for four days.”
What was jail like? “The food was horrible,” she says.

After she got home she moved out, enrolled in acting classes and moved to LA to try her hand as an actress, where she discovered the only person she really liked playing was herself.
When Selling Sunset came along it seemed like a match made in heaven — she is now the standout star of the show, one of the funniest women on television.
She is about to release a self-help book cum memoir called How to Be a Boss Bitch.

Well, how do you be a boss bitch, asks @camillalong.
“Just really not giving a f*** what other people think of you,” she says with a giggle.
