Emile Hirsch to spend 15 days in jail after admitting film festival attack
Emile Hirsch will spend 15 days in jail for attacking a female studio executive, the People magazine reported.
According to multiple reports, the Into the Wild star pleaded guilty to misdemeanor assault in a Park City, Utah, court on Monday after being accused of violently attacking Paramount Digital VP Daniele Bernfeld at TAO Nightclub on Jan. 25
The Associated Press reports that the 30-year-old actor will spend 15 days in jail, pay a $4,750 fine and do 50 hours of community service. If he completes the sentence, the charge will be dismissed.
"Mr. Hirsch did something inexcusable," said Deputy County Attorney Ryan Stack today after the plea was made and the deal was announced, Deadline reports.
Bernfeld said she wasn't pleased with the deal, calling his sentence the "bare minimum" and adding, "I thought I was going to die" when Hirsch attacked her and put her in a chokehold at a party during the Sundance Film Festival.
