Harvey Weinstein is reportedly back in Bellevue Hospital after receiving an “alarming blood test.
Speaking to reporters, the disgraced producer’s rep confirmed that he had been diagnosed with leukemia.
“Harvey Weinstein, who has been suffering from a lack of adequate medical care and enduring deplorable and inhumane conditions on Rikers Island, has been transported to Bellevue Hospital for emergent treatment due to an alarming blood test result that requires immediate medical attention,” his attorney, Imran H. Ansari said in a statement.
“It is expected that he will remain there until his condition stabilizes. His deprivation of care is not only medical malpractice, but a violation of his constitutional rights.”
Since being sentenced to prison, Weinstein’s health has declined and he has had several trips to the hospital. He has been to Bellevue to be treated for Covid-19 and then pneumonia and had to receive heart surgery after almost losing his life. He was diagnosed in October with bone marrow cancer.
