Harvey Weinstein is battling a series of health issues in a prison hospital… including coronavirus and pneumonia.
Weinstein has been transferred to the prison wing of Bellevue Hospital in Manhattan, where he is being treated for diabetes, high blood pressure, spinal stenosis and other conditions… his representative, Juda Engelmayerconfirmed to TMZ.
Weinstein’s camp says he has also tested positive for COVID-19 and double pneumonia. The health update was first reported Thursday by NBC News.
As we reported… Weinstein is awaiting a new trial in his rape case in New York after his conviction was overturned in the spring.
Meanwhile, his legal team is trying to overturn a separate rape conviction in California as well – last month he filed a new appeal.
Weinstein maintained his innocence throughout his highly publicized trials.
It’s the second time in 3 months that the disgraced movie mogul has been hospitalized in Bellevue. He went there in April for tests, when one of his lawyers told us that Weinstein’s health was a a bit like a “train wreck”.
