Former Hollywood movie mogul Harvey Weinstein, who is currently serving time in prison for sex offenses, has been hospitalized for a variety of health conditions, including testing positive for Covid-19 and double pneumonia. Weinstein’s representative stated that he is being treated for diabetes, high blood pressure, spinal stenosis, and other conditions, in addition to his Covid-19 diagnosis and pneumonia.
Weinstein, 72, has been taken to the Bellevue Hospital Prison Ward in New York for treatment. The former producer was sentenced to a total of 16 years in prison in New York and Los Angeles for his crimes. However, his 2020 rape conviction in New York was overturned in April after a state appellate court found that the judge had allowed testimony about allegations that were not part of the case.
Weinstein’s health issues have been a concern for some time, and his recent hospitalization has raised further questions about his well-being. As he continues to battle health problems in addition to his legal troubles, the future remains uncertain for the disgraced movie mogul.
