Harvey Weinstein hospitalized with COVID, double pneumonia, representative says

Harvey Weinstein tested positive for COVID-19 and contracted double pneumonia, an authorized representative confirmed Thursday. 

Weinstein, who is awaiting retrial in his New York criminal case and is appealing his California conviction, is also dealing with diabetes, high blood pressure, spinal stenosis and fluid on his heart and lung, the representative said. He's currently at the Bellevue Hospital Prison Ward, according to New York City Department of Correction records. 

The former Hollywood mogul has been hospitalized several times in recent years. He was brought to Bellevue Hospital with chest pains in 2020 shortly after he was sentenced to 23 years behind bars on rape and criminal sexual act charges.
