Harvey Weinstein In Hospital Following “Severe Breathing Issues”
The 74-year-old remains under treatment after difficulty breathing and pneumonia led to a heart failure episode, sources said.
- Disgraced Hollywood producer Harvey Weinstein was hospitalized this week after experiencing acute heart failure while incarcerated, and he is currently undergoing treatment at the Bellevue Hospital Prison Ward in Manhattan.
- Sources reported that Weinstein suffered heart failure linked to pneumonia, following struggles to breathe two weeks ago that prompted his emergency transfer from the New York prison.
- The 74-year-old was previously diagnosed with chronic myeloid leukaemia, a bone marrow cancer, while his legal team has condemned what they described as "deplorable and inhumane conditions" at Rikers.
- Remaining in the hospital ward, Weinstein is connected to a heart monitor and receiving antibiotics; sources state he has substantially recovered but is "not out of the woods."
- He awaits sentencing for his 2025 sexual assault conviction while already serving a 16-year sentence handed down in Los Angeles in 2022 following a separate rape conviction.
