Harvey Weinstein Hospitalized for Emergency Heart Surgery While Serving Prison Sentence

Disgraced Hollywood producer Harvey Weinstein, currently serving a 23-year prison sentence, has undergone emergency heart surgery after being rushed from Rikers Island to Bellevue Hospital in New York. The 72-year-old former filmmaker, who was convicted of rape and sexual assault, underwent a pericardiocentesis procedure to drain fluid from his heart and lungs.

Weinstein’s attorney, Craig Rothfeld, confirmed the surgery, stating that the producer is in pain from the procedure and continues to face multiple serious health issues. Despite his ongoing health struggles, Weinstein remains incarcerated following his 2020 conviction in Los Angeles, where he was accused by more than 90 women of sexual misconduct. He has consistently denied all allegations of wrongdoing.

The incident marks the latest health scare for Weinstein as he continues to serve his sentence amid ongoing legal battles and a series of medical complications.
