Harvey Weinstein rushed to hospital for emergency treatment after ‘alarming blood test’ following cancer diagnosis
HARVEY Weinstein has been rushed to hospital again following "alarming" blood test results.
The convicted sex offender, 72, was hospitalized for emergency treatment just days after suing the City of New York for “deplorable conditions” in Rikers Island jail.
The disgraced film mogul has been in and out of hospital multiple times due to his leukemia diagnosis.
Weinstein was sent to Bellevue Hospital in New York City, his attorney said in a statement on Monday.
His attorney added that these blood tests were related to his cancer diagnosis.
He also revealed that the results were concerning but his current condition was treatable.
His attorney Imran H. Ansari added: “It is expected that he will remain there until his condition stabilizes.
"His deprivation of care is not only medical malpractice, but a violation of his constitutional rights.”
This news came over a month after sources revealed Weinstein had been diagnosed with chronic myeloid leukemia, a form of bone marrow cancer.
His legal team also filed a $5 million claim against New York City which claimed conditions at the jail made his long list of medical issues worse.
Last week's lawsuit claimed the convicted rapist had suffered from a plethora of issues at the 92-year-old jail.
These claims included: "Negligence, carelessness, recklessness, gross negligence, medical malpractice, intentional and/or reckless and/or negligent deprivation of medical treatment."
The disgraced producer was first convicted of sex crimes in early 2020.
