Disgraced movie mogul Harvey Weinstein has been hospitalized after receiving an 'alarming blood test' result, as his representative confirms a leukemia diagnosis.** Weinstein's team has been adamant about his declining health in recent months, claiming he is 'basically getting no treatment' for his various medical issues. A New York appeals court overturned Weinstein’s 2020 rape conviction this past April, ordering a new trial in a stunning reversal of a landmark #MeToo case. Weinstein's lawyer first filed an appeal in his New York case in January 2023, claiming the entertainment mogul didn't receive a 'fair trial.'
