CNN —Harvey Weinstein was “rushed” to Bellevue Hospital in New York on Sunday night “due to several medical conditions,” according to representatives for the disgraced former movie producer.
“We can confirm that Mr. Weinstein had a procedure and surgery on his heart today,” Weinstein’s spokesman Juda Engelmayer and prison consultant Craig Rothfeld said in a statement to CNN on Monday.
“As we have extensively stated before, Mr. Weinstein suffers a plethora of significant health issues that need ongoing treatment,” they added.
Weinstein has experienced a number of health problems in recent years and has appeared in court in a wheelchair.
He was sentenced to 23 years in prison, but his conviction was overturned on appeal in April.
