Harvey Weinstein’s Health Issues and Prison Sentence: A Look at the ‘Me Too’ Movement

Harvey Weinstein rushed to New York hospital with severe health issues

Harvey Weinstein has been hospitalized in New York due to various health issues, according to his lawyer, Arthur Aidala. Despite his health problems, Weinstein is said to be in good spirits and satisfied with the medical care he is receiving post-release from prison.

In a statement released by his representative, Juda Engelmayer, Weinstein criticized the 16-year prison sentence imposed on him by a Los Angeles judge, considering it to be harsh given his age and health condition.
