Disgraced Hollywood film producer Harvey Weinstein has been diagnosed with a form of bone marrow cancer, according to NBC News and ABC News.

The 72-year-old former entertainment mogul has chronic myelogenous leukemia and is undergoing treatment in a New York prison, American media reported on Monday.

Weinstein’s authorized health care representative in New York, Craig Rothfeld, declined to comment, telling ABC: “Out of respect for Mr. Weinstein’s privacy, we will have no further comment.”

Weinstein’s spokesperson Juda Engelmayer told Variety that Rothfeld “expresses deep dismay at the speculation surrounding Mr. Weinstein’s medical condition.”

“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,” Engelmayer added.

Weinstein’s reported diagnosis comes a month after he was indicted on a new sex crime charge. He pleaded not guilty to one count of first-degree criminal sexual conduct in a New York court, relating to an allegation that he sexually assaulted a woman at a Manhattan hotel in 2006.

Weinstein also underwent emergency heart surgery last month, after which his rep said he was “out of danger at this time.”

Weinstein is serving a 16-year prison sentence after being convicted of rape in California.

He was also convicted in New York in 2020 for the rape and sexual assault of an actress and for forcibly performing oral sex on a production assistant, and was sentenced to 23 years in prison in that case.

However, an appeals court in New York overturned the verdict in April, ruling that the judge had allowed inaccurate testimony from prosecutors who were not directly involved in the charges against Weinstein.

A new trial in the case was scheduled for November, although prosecutors said it was “unrealistic.”

Allegations against Weinstein helped spark the MeToo movement in 2017, a turning point for women fighting sexual misconduct.

More than 80 women have accused him of harassment, assault or rape, including prominent actors Angelina Jolie, Gwyneth Paltrow and Ashley Judd.

Weinstein has claimed that all of the sexual relationships in question were consensual.

In 1979, Weinstein and his brother Bob co-founded the prominent Hollywood film studio Miramax Films.

Their hits included 1994’s Pulp Fiction and 1998’s Shakespeare in Love, for which Weinstein shared a Best Picture Oscar.
