Disgraced Hollywood producer Harvey Weinstein has been diagnosed with chronic myeloid leukemia and is receiving treatment in prison while awaiting a retrial, according to US media reports. Weinstein, who was indicted on a new sex crime charge last month, has faced a series of health issues recently, including emergency heart surgery. His spokesperson expressed concern that his health problems have become a public topic of discussion. Weinstein was convicted in 2020 of rape and sexual assault but had his verdict overturned on appeal. He is also facing a separate prison sentence in California.
