Harvey Weinstein, the 72-year-old disgraced former film producer, has been diagnosed with chronic myeloid leukemia, a rare form of bone marrow cancer. His health has deteriorated significantly over the past few months, and he is currently receiving treatment while imprisoned at Rikers Island. His legal health representative, Craig Rothfeld, declined to comment further on his condition. Weinstein is serving time for sexual assault convictions and is awaiting a second trial on additional sex crimes charges, which is tentatively set for November.
