Harvey Weinstein is battling a slew of health issues from a prison hospital … including the coronavirus and pneumonia.
Weinstein has been transferred to Bellevue Hospital Prison Ward in Manhattan, where he’s being treated for diabetes, high blood pressure, spinal stenosis and other conditions … his rep, Juda Engelmayer, confirmed to TMZ.
Weinstein’s camp says he’s also tested positive for COVID-19 and double pneumonia. The health update was first reported Thursday by NBC News.
As we’ve reported … Weinstein is awaiting a retrial in his NY rape case after his conviction was overturned in the spring.
Meanwhile, his legal team is looking to get a separate rape conviction in California overturned as well — last month he filed a new appeal.
Weinstein has maintained his innocence throughout his highly publicized trials.
It’s the second time in 3 months the disgraced movie mogul has been hospitalized at Bellevue. He went there in April for tests, when one of his attorneys told us Weinstein’s health was a bit of a “train wreck.”
