Harvey Weinstein Hospitalized Again, Reportedly Battling Leukemia—and Maybe Karma Too

Buy Me A Coffee

Harvey Weinstein is back in the hospital. Yes, again. The former film mogul, who’s now known less for producing blockbusters and more for his blockbuster-level scandals, made his latest pit stop at Bellevue Hospital in Manhattan. It’s like his personal Airbnb at this point, but with fewer amenities and a lot more medical drama.

This latest trip to Bellevue comes just days after Harvey, 72, filed a lawsuit against New York City, claiming that the conditions at Rikers Island are “deplorable.” Spoiler alert: the public isn’t exactly pulling out tiny violins for him.

From Hollywood to Hospitals
Weinstein, who was first convicted of sex crimes in 2020, has seemingly spent more time in medical facilities than in his jail cell. According to his attorney, Imran H. Ansari, Weinstein’s latest health crisis involved “alarming” blood test results. Ansari painted a tragic picture, saying his client has been “suffering from a lack of adequate medical care” and enduring conditions so bad, they’re straight out of a dystopian horror film.

“It’s not just medical malpractice,” Ansari claimed, with a flair for the dramatic, “it’s a violation of his constitutional rights.” (Insert eye-roll emoji here.)

PR Spin Cycle Activated
Juda Engelmayer, Harvey’s PR guy who apparently drew the short straw in life, chimed in with more details. He confirmed that Weinstein’s growing list of ailments now includes leukemia, which joins previous diagnoses like bone marrow cancer, COVID-19, and pneumonia.

Engelmayer wasn’t shy about turning up the rhetoric, calling the treatment Weinstein’s received “cruel and unusual punishment.” This raises the question: is karma cruel and unusual, or just poetic?

A Medical Tour of Bellevue
This is Weinstein’s third visit to Bellevue. It’s becoming his unofficial timeshare. First, he landed there in July for COVID-19 and pneumonia. Then, in September, a heart surgery scare nearly put an end to his dramatic hospital tour. Now? It’s leukemia’s turn in the spotlight.

Despite his laundry list of health issues, Harvey is still slated to go on trial again in early 2025. Whether he’ll show up or Zoom in from a hospital bed remains to be seen.

So, here we are again: another Weinstein headline that has us all wondering what fresh disaster is next. One thing’s for sure—if there’s a movie about this saga someday, it definitely won’t be a Weinstein production.
