Harvey Weinstein has been rushed from Rikers to Bellevue Hospital for emergency heart surgery, according to his attorney, Arthur Aidala.
Weinstein, 72, was taken to Bellevue Hospital in Manhattan from the Rikers Island jail complex late Sunday "due to severe medical conditions," his publicist Juda Engelmayer and prison consultant Craig Rothfeld said."We can confirm that Mr. Weinstein had a procedure and surgery on his heart today," they said, declining further comment on his condition. News of Weinstein’s hospitalization was first reported by ABC News .
At the same time, British prosecutors said last week they were dropping two charges of indecent assault against Weinstein in 2022 because there was "no longer a realistic prospect of conviction.’’Weinstein has denied that he raped or sexually assaulted anyone. He remains in custody in New York while awaiting a retrial in Manhattan that’s tentatively scheduled to begin Nov. 12. He is due back in court for a pretrial hearing Sept. 12.
