Harvey Weinstein, 74, has been hospitalized at Bellevue Hospital in New York after experiencing heart failure and difficulty breathing due to pneumonia. His publicist, Juda Engelmayer, confirmed he is 'recuperating and resting' at the facility. TMZ reported Weinstein was transported to Bellevue's prison ward after suffering heart failure, with doctors placing him on an IV and monitoring his heart. A representative stated he will remain hospitalized for at least the next few weeks.
Weinstein has faced multiple health issues since his 2020 incarceration, including chronic myeloid leukemia diagnosed in October 2024. His lawyer, Imran Ansari, previously cited inadequate medical care at Rikers Island, where Weinstein was held before his transfer to Bellevue. The disgraced producer was convicted in 2020 of rape and a criminal sexual act, receiving a 23-year sentence. That verdict was overturned in 2024, but he was reconvicted in 2025 of sexual assault against a different woman. In 2023, he received a 16-year sentence in Los Angeles for another conviction.
Weinstein's legal troubles stem from allegations that sparked the #MeToo movement, with over 100 women accusing him of sexual misconduct. His current hospitalization follows a mistrial in his rape retrial after a jury deadlocked in 2026.
