Los Angeles — Actor Emile Hirsch does not remember events of the night he is accused of attacking a studio executive because he was drunk, his attorney wrote in a statement.

The actor checked into rehab within days of the incident and remains in treatment, attorney Robert Offer wrote in a statement obtained on Friday.

"Regarding the charges that have been brought against Emile Hirsch today, the facts that I can relay are that he consumed an enormous amount of alcohol on the evening in question and he doesn't have any memory of what happened at the time of the allegations," Offer wrote. "However, Emile takes these allegations very seriously, and is devastated that any of this has occurred. "
