Harvey Weinstein Recovering After Suffering Heart Failure in Prison
Harvey Weinstein 'Out of the Woods' After Medical Incident
Published
Harvey Weinstein's recovering nicely after suffering heart failure ... according to his longtime representative.
Juda Engelmayer tells TMZ ... Weinstein is "out of the woods for now" and feeling fine. The antibiotics treated his pneumonia, and his heart is doing much better because the doctors are monitoring it with an EKG.
We're told Weinstein is already able to walk around.
It's a huge improvement from his previous condition ... remember, Weinstein suffered heart failure behind bars at Rikers Island weeks ago because of the pneumonia, and he was rushed to Bellevue Hospital.
Sources told us Weinstein was having trouble breathing, so authorities rushed him to the Manhattan prison medical facility ... where he's been receiving treatment ever since.
This wasn't Weinstein's first health scare behind bars ... remember, he's previously dealt with double pneumonia and a leukemia diagnosis. He also underwent heart surgery.
Weinstein was convicted in 2020 of rape in New York and received a 23-year sentence.
In 2022, Weinstein was convicted in Los Angeles for rape and sexual assault and was given a 16-year sentence ... though another appeals court later ordered that he be resentenced.
His New York conviction was overturned in 2024, yet he was convicted again of sexual assault in a 2025 retrial. Despite all these legal developments, Weinstein is still looking at many years behind bars.
