Harvey Weinstein was rushed to Bellevue Hospital in Manhattan on Wednesday following an alarming blood test result. His attorney reported that the 72-year-old former film producer required immediate medical attention and will remain hospitalized until he fully recovers.
Weinstein’s health has been a frequent point of concern, compounded by reports of poor medical care at Rikers Island, where he is incarcerated. His attorneys have criticized the prison’s conditions, likening them to a gulag, and cited a lack of clean underwear and bloodstained clothing during a recent visit. These complications could delay Weinstein’s retrial for his 2020 rape convictions, which which resulted in his incarceration at Rikers.
