Harvey Weinstein hospitalised after ‘alarming blood test’, attorney says

Harvey Weinstein was hospitalised Monday (December 2, 2024) following an “alarming blood test,” his attorney said, less than a week after the disgraced movie mogul filed a legal claim alleging substandard medical care at New York City's notorious jail complex.

Weinstein, 72, was sent to Bellevue Hospital in Manhattan for an “emergent treatment due to an alarming blood test result that requires immediate medical attention,” his attorney, Imran Ansari, said in a statement.

“It is expected that he will remain there until his condition stabilises,” the statement continues. "His deprivation of care is not only medical malpractice, but a violation of his constitutional rights.”
