Fallen Hollywood executive Harvey Weinstein, whose health has been worrisome in recent years, is receiving medical treatment in New York after a fresh bout of reported health issues. <\/p>\n
Weinstein, 74, is \u201crecuperating and resting at Bellevue Hospital,\u201d his publicist Juda Engelmayer confirmed to The Times on Wednesday. He did not immediately respond to additional inquires about Weinstein\u2019s condition. <\/p>\n
TMZ reported<\/a> on Wednesday that the former mogul was transported to the Bellevue Hospital Prison Ward in Manhattan after experiencing difficulty breathing. The outlet also reported that Weinstein suffered heart failure due to a bout of pneumonia, and doctors have since placed the disgraced Weinstein Company mogul on an IV. They are also monitoring his heart and administering antibiotics to treat his pneumonia. A representative for Weinstein told Deadline<\/a> on Wednesday that he will remain in the hospital \u201cat least for the next few weeks.\u201d<\/p>\n Weinstein has been incarcerated at New York\u2019s notorious Rikers Island complex but the New York City Department of Correction\u2019s inmate database<\/a> confirms he is currently housed at the recently opened<\/a> Bellevue Hospital Outposted Therapeutic Housing Units.<\/p>\n Weinstein was sentenced in March 2020<\/a> to 23 years in prison after he was convicted in New York of committing a felony sex crime and third-degree rape. The sexual assault conviction was overturned in April 2024<\/a>. The former Hollywood exec was subject to a second trial in New York last summer and was convicted on one count<\/a> of sexual assault in 2006 but acquitted of another from the same year. Earlier this year, Weinstein\u2019s New York rape retrial \u2014 regarding allegations he sexually assaulted hairstylist and aspiring actress Jessica Mann \u2014 ended in mistrial.<\/a><\/p>\n He was also sentenced in February 2023 <\/a>to 16 years in prison for raping a woman in a Beverly Hills hotel in 2013. A three-judge panel from California\u2019s 2nd District Court of Appeal unanimously decided last week <\/a>it will uphold the conviction, but ordered Weinstein\u2019s trial judge to resentence him. <\/p>\n Weinstein spoke at length with the Hollywood Reporter<\/a> in March about carrying out his sentence: \u201cIt\u2019s Rikers Island and it\u2019s hell.\u201d <\/p>\n He spoke about spending most of his time in his cell, how he feels his celebrity status \u201cforces me into isolation\u201d and claimed he is \u201cconstantly threatened and derided\u201d by other inmates. He also expressed fear about dying at the infamous prison complex. Weinstein\u2019s health in recent years has been frail. In 2024 alone, Weinstein was diagnosed with chronic myeloid leukemia, underwent emergency heart surgery<\/a> and received treatment for COVID-19, double pneumonia and several other health conditions. <\/p>\n \u201cIt scares the s\u2014 out of me. Cold and heartless,\u201d he told THR. \u201cIt\u2019s incredible to have the life that I had and the things that I did for society and not have the leniency to deal with me in a kinder way. Whatever they think I did bad in my life, I didn\u2019t get the death penalty. I\u2019m going to be 74 in March. I don\u2019t want to die in here.\u201d<\/p>\n
