Harvey Weinstein, the disgraced Hollywood mogul known for his alleged sexual misconduct, has been diagnosed with chronic myeloid leukemia and is undergoing treatment in prison. His health issues include emergency heart surgery, Covid-19, and double pneumonia. Weinstein’s legal battle with Manhattan prosecutors involves efforts to combine his original 2020 sexual crimes with new criminal charges. His New York conviction was overturned due to improper rulings, but he was later convicted in Los Angeles and sentenced to 16 years in prison. As he deals with his health and legal issues, Weinstein’s legal team is appealing the Los Angeles conviction.
