Hirsch, 29, is accused of getting into a fight with the female Paramount Pictures executive, whose name wasn't reported. It's unclear if there were any injuries.

"Last night, Emile Hirsch got into a fight with an executive at Paramount at TAO Sundance," a source told Us Weekly, "and the executive was looking into pressing charges against Emile this morning."

"We are still investigating the case and cannot provide details at this time," the Park City Police Department told the magazine.

"Something happened between the movie exec and Emile, and she said she had been assaulted and asked security to call the police," a source told Page Six. "Emile didn't leave the scene, and calmly waited for the police to arrive, and spoke with them until around 5 a.m., after which he went home with his friends. No arrests were made."
