She claimed he was so abusive she was afraid to be alone with him. The movie's producer says he investigated her accusations and found no evidence to support them. In the lawsuit against Abigail Breslin they producer claims Abigail is holding the film hostage because she refuses to sign off on releasing the movie until she receives additional money.

According to the suit, the film’s on-set producer, identified as “Mr. Georgiev,” conducted an investigation into Breslin's claims. He found no evidence of aggressive behavior by Eckhart, the lawsuit said, and the plaintiffs alleged Breslin's accusations were "wild, hysterical and imaginary.”
The plaintiffs further allege that Breslin has since demanded "additional monies beyond her contract fee" to sign a final agreement. Without Breslin's signature, the film apparently cannot be distributed and the producers cannot claim tax credits in Malta, where "Classified" was shot in February and March of this year. According to the complaint, Breslin withholding her signature “has completely imperiled the financial wellbeing of the production, including concluding distribution agreements and delivering under the terms of existing distribution agreements.”
Plaintiffs are seeking $80,000 in real damages, plus punitive damages.
Abigail Breslin said Aaron Eckhart allegedly behaved so aggressively on the set of the movie they recently co-starred in, she was scared to be alone with him, according to a new lawsuit obtained by The Times.
