Harvey Weinstein diagnosed with chronic myeloid leukemia while incarcerated

Harvey Weinstein has been diagnosed with chronic myeloid leukemia, a type of bone marrow cancer. He is currently receiving treatment while incarcerated at Rikers Island. This news follows extensive health issues, including recent heart surgery. Weinstein's legal representative expressed concern over the public discussion of his health matters, stating they will not provide further comments. Weinstein has faced numerous medical challenges since his arrest in 2018 on sexual assault charges. In April, an appeals court overturned his 2020 convictions, and his lawyers have appealed his 2022 Los Angeles conviction. A retrial for his East Coast rape case is tentatively set to begin on November 12.
