Harvey Weinstein Diagnosed With Bone Marrow Cancer

As a seasoned film critic with decades of experience under my belt, I must say that the news about Harvey Weinstein‘s cancer diagnosis is undeniably disheartening. Having closely followed his career, and more recently, his downfall, it’s hard not to feel a sense of sadness for a man who once wielded so much power in Hollywood.


It’s been reported by NBC News that Harvey Weinstein, who has faced scandal, has been diagnosed with chronic myeloid leukemia, a type of blood cancer originating in the bone marrow.

Craig Rothfeld, who acts as Harvey Weinstein’s authorized healthcare representative in New York State, has expressed deep concern over the rumors about Harvey Weinstein’s health condition,” stated Juda Engelmayer, Weinstein’s spokesperson, in a statement given to EbMaster. “It is worrying and inappropriate that personal and private medical matters are being discussed publicly. To protect Harvey Weinstein’s privacy, we will not be providing any additional comments.

More recently, the former film producer made an appearance at a Manhattan court in September, marking his first visit since undergoing heart surgery. Escorted by courthouse security personnel, he was wheeled into the courtroom in a wheelchair. He denied the new criminal sex act charge for which he was indicted a week earlier in New York, pleading not guilty.

According to his attorney Arthur Aidala, the disgraced filmmaker narrowly escaped death after undergoing an emergency heart operation. Earlier in the summer, Weinstein was admitted to the hospital due to diabetes-related complications, and subsequently contracted Covid-19 and double pneumonia while in the healthcare facility.

Despite being a frequently alleged perpetrator within the #MeToo campaign, Weinstein persists in asserting his innocence, claiming he never assaulted or raped anyone.

NBC was first to report the news of Weinstein’s diagnosis.
