Convicted rapist and disgraced Hollywood producer Harvey Weinstein is recovering from emergency heart surgery at Bellevue Hospital but remains “in a lot of pain,” his representative said.
Weinstein, 72, was rushed to the hospital on Monday from Rikers Island, where he is being held ahead of his retrial for sex crimes.
“He’s in the ICU recovering from a heart procedure — that’s all the updates we have,” Craig Rothfeld, Weinstein’s prison consultant, told The Post.
Rothfeld, who said he spoke to Weinstein Monday, said that the former movie mogul is “in a lot of pain.”
“He had chest pains, he was having trouble breathing, he had a bad cough,” Rothfeld added.
It’s unclear when Weinstein may be released, he said, claiming his client required additional medical care for spinal stenosis, high blood pressure and his thyroid and diabetic complications.
