Emile Hirsch Charged After Allegedly Choking A Woman

Emile Hirsch has been charged with felony aggravated assault after allegedly choking a woman during the Sundance Film Festival.

According to a police report obtained by People, the actor reportedly choked a woman until she was unconscious at Tao Nightclub Jan. 25 in Park City, Utah.

That woman was reportedly a Paramount executive, who says she had never met Hirsch before that night.

She told police a drunk-looking Hirsch approached her and asked why she looked “so tough” and reportedly told her she was a “rich kid who should not be at Sundance.” (Video via Sony Pictures Television / "The Queen Latifah Show")
