Harvey Weinstein has been hospitalized once again for an “alarming blood test result,” according to reports. He was brought to Bellevue Hospital in Manhattan and is expected to stay there until his condition stabilizes. His attorney Imran H. Ansari told People, “His deprivation of care is not only medical malpractice, but a violation of his constitutional rights.” His attorney claimed that the infamous movie producer was “suffering from a lack of adequate medical care” at Rikers Island. Despite being convicted of rape in New York and California, he’s now awaiting a retrial for the New York case. New criminal charges also were slapped on Weinstein in September. Weinstein, 72, was also recently diagnosed with leukemia. In November, it was revealed that Weinstein was gearing up to sue for “ongoing medical negligence.” “Mr. Weinstein has hired legal counsel to sue NYC Health and Hospitals and Bellevue, as he has the right to proper care while in custody,” a representative told the New York Post at the time.
