The incarcerated producer is reportedly undergoing treatment at Rikers Island in New York.
Harvey Weinstein has been diagnosed with bone cancer, a source close to the incarcerated producer tells CNN. Weinstein’s specific diagnosis is chronic myeloid leukemia, a form of cancer of the bone marrow, the source says, adding that he is undergoing treatment at Rikers Island in New York. Weinstein’s longtime spokesperson, Juda Engelmayer, declined to comment on Weinstein’s diagnosis. His attorney, Arthur Aidala, did not immediately respond to CNN’s request for comment.
His spokesperson told CNN at the time that he was rushed to Bellevue Hospital in New York for the procedure and was released shortly after. “As we have extensively stated before, Mr. Weinstein suffers a plethora of significant health issues that need ongoing treatment,” Weinstein’s representatives said in September.
