Harvey Weinstein has been diagnosed with chronic myeloid leukemia, a type of bone cancer, while serving time at Rikers Island in New York. He is currently undergoing treatment for the condition. Weinstein's health issues have been a concern, as he recently had emergency heart surgery. His representatives have stated that he faces multiple significant health challenges requiring ongoing care. Weinstein is scheduled for a retrial in New York on November 12, following an overturned conviction earlier this year. It is unclear if his cancer diagnosis will affect the upcoming trial.
