Harvey Weinstein is facing another setback in his ongoing health battle.
The Oscar-winning producer and disgraced movie mogul was recently hospitalized for "heart and breathing issues," Weinstein's representative, Juda Engelmayer, confirmed to USA TODAY on Wednesday, July 1.
Engelmayer said Weinstein's medical ordeal was exacerbated by a case of pneumonia. He is currently recovering at Bellevue Hospital in New York City.
The Miramax cofounder has experienced a spate of health issues in recent years.
A November 2024 filing from one of Weinstein's lawyers listed medical problems such as chronic myeloid leukemia (bone marrow cancer), diabetes, coronary artery disease, obstructive sleep apnea, thyroid issues, obesity, high blood pressure and chronic back pain. The lawyer, Imran H. Ansari, accused Rikers Island Correctional Facility of having "failed to render proper medical treatment."
