Harvey Weinstein diagnosed with chronic myeloid leukemia while in prison

Harvey Weinstein has been diagnosed with chronic myeloid leukemia while serving time at Rikers Island, according to sources. He is currently receiving treatment for the cancer, which affects the bone marrow. Weinstein's health has been declining, with recent issues including emergency heart surgery and a hospitalization for Covid-19 and pneumonia. He is facing new legal challenges as prosecutors seek to combine these charges with his previous convictions. Earlier this year, Weinstein's New York conviction was overturned due to judicial errors, but he remains in prison due to a separate 2022 rape conviction in Los Angeles. His legal team is appealing that sentence.
