#EmileHirsch Charged With Assault For Choking Film Executive #DanieleBernfeld

BBGR2

Emile Hirsch has been charged with third degree felony aggravated assault for attacking Paramount executive Daniele Bernfeld at the  #SundanceFilmFestival last month.

According to TMZ, the assault took place at around 3:00AM at the Tao nightclub in Park City. Emile  drunkenly approached Bernfeld and asked her why she looked "so tough" and that she was a "rich kid" who should not be at Sundance.

Bernfeld told cops that she moved away from him to sit next to her friends. The first time he tried to grab her she pushed him off. He then backed off only to come back and grab her from behind. He put her in a chokehold before dragging her across a table. He  then landed on top of her, and began to choke her. She said she felt as though “the front and back of her throat were touching and she remembers things going dark” before two bystanders pulled him off of her.

Emile admitted to having a “verbal confrontation” with her after a few drinks. He was also charged with misdemeanor intoxication and is due in court on March 16.
