Harvey Weinstein Hospitalized Amid Cancer Battle, Plans to Sue NYC for Negligence

Weinstein alleges inadequate medical care while in custody could hinder his participation in upcoming retrial.

Harvey Weinstein, 72, is back in the hospital due to a cancer diagnosis, believed to be chronic myeloid leukemia.
Weinstein plans to sue NYC Health and Hospitals and Bellevue, claiming medical negligence during his incarceration.
His legal team argues that the city's refusal to keep him at Bellevue compromises his ability to attend his retrial.
Weinstein's health issues include heart surgery, diabetes, and other conditions, complicating his legal battles.
The former producer's New York conviction was overturned, and he faces a retrial on sex-crime charges in 2025.
