Harvey Weinstein said to have bone marrow cancer

Disgraced Hollywood producer Harvey Weinstein has been diagnosed with bone marrow cancer, specifically chronic myeloid leukemia, while serving a prison sentence. This is just the latest health issue for Weinstein, who recently underwent emergency heart surgery. His representative expressed dismay at the public speculation on his health and declined further comment. Weinstein is currently serving a 16-year sentence for rape charges and was convicted in New York in 2020, although the verdict was overturned on appeal. The allegations against him were instrumental in sparking the #MeToo movement. Despite his legal troubles, Weinstein was a prominent figure in Hollywood, co-founding Miramax Films with his brother Bob and producing acclaimed films like “Pulp Fiction” and “Shakespeare in Love.”
