Harvey Weinstein diagnosed with chronic myeloid leukaemia while in prison

Harvey Weinstein has been diagnosed with chronic myeloid leukaemia while serving time at Rikers Island. This diagnosis follows his recent emergency heart surgery and previous health issues, including COVID-19 and double pneumonia. Weinstein is awaiting a retrial in November after his 2020 rape conviction was overturned. He faces new sexual assault charges and has pleaded not guilty to multiple indictments. He did not attend court for the latest indictment details due to health reasons but appeared in a wheelchair to enter his plea. Weinstein's past includes numerous allegations of sexual misconduct from various women.
