Harvey Weinstein has been diagnosed with cancer. According to NBC News, the disgraced film producer has chronic myelogenous leukemia, a form of bone marrow cancer.

“Craig Rothfeld, Mr. Weinstein’s authorized healthcare legal representative in New York State, expresses his deep dismay at the speculation surrounding Mr. Weinstein’s medical condition,” Weinstein’s spokesperson Juda Engelmayer said in a statement to Variety. “It is both disturbing and unacceptable that such private and confidential health issues have become the subject of public debate. Out of respect for Mr. Weinstein’s privacy, we will have no further comment.”

The former film producer last appeared in a Manhattan court in September, his first time after undergoing heart surgery. He was wheeled in by courthouse security guards in a wheelchair and pleaded not guilty to the additional sex charges for which he had been indicted in New York a week earlier.

His lawyer Arthur Aidala claimed the disgraced film producer “almost died” after emergency heart surgery. Weinstein had previously been hospitalized over the summer for other issues, including diabetes, and contracted COVID-19 and double pneumonia during his hospital stay.

In April, the New York Court of Appeals overturned Weinstein’s 2020 rape conviction. The appeals court ruled that Weinstein’s original trial erred in allowing three additional accusers to testify about their own assault allegations, when that shouldn’t have happened. Their testimonies were biased against Weinstein and shed no light on the allegations he faced; the appeals court overturned the conviction and ordered a new trial. The new trial was tentatively scheduled for November, but is now looking at a date in early 2025.

After becoming one of the most accused figures of the #MeToo movement, Weinstein continued to deny that he had assaulted or raped anyone.

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