Harvey Weinstein Recovers from Emergency Heart Surgery
Former Hollywood heavyweight Harvey Weinstein is recovering in intensive care after undergoing emergency heart surgery**. The 72-year-old was rushed to Bellevue Hospital in New York from Rikers Island prison earlier today due to multiple medical conditions, his lawyer said. Weinstein, who has faced numerous health issues in recent years, including COVID-19, double pneumonia, diabetes, and high blood pressure, remains in jail, serving a 23-year sentence after his 2020 New York conviction was overturned in April. He is also appealing a 16-year sentence for another rape conviction in Los Angeles. Weinstein has consistently denied all allegations of rape and sexual assault.
