Harvey Weinstein In Hospital Following “Severe Breathing Issues”
Harvey Weinstein is currently in a hospital following what a representative has described to us as “severe breathing issues.”
We’re told Weinstein is “resting and recovering at hospital where he will stay at least for the next few weeks” after his health deteriorated in the past week.
TMZ was first to report the health update, describing it as “heart failure due to pneumonia” while the former film mogul was being held at Rikers Island prison. According to the outlet he is receiving treatment at Bellevue Hospital Prison Ward in Manhattan.
Weinstein is being held at Rikers as he awaits sentencing in September for a 2025 sexual assault conviction. He has had multiple health scares over the past few years.
New York prosecutors recently chose not to pursue a rape charge against the disgraced 74- year-old producer for a fourth time.
The case had already been tried three times, once resulting in an overturned conviction and twice in hung juries. Weinstein’s other convictions, including another sexual felony in New York and others in California, still stand.
