Harvey Weinstein is (unfortunately) “doing well” in isolation, according to sources, after he was diagnosed with coronavirus on Saturday following a stint at Rikers Island. It is believed that the convicted rapist and disgraced film producer contracted the virus during his brief stay at the notorious NYC prison, where he was kept in quarantine for a few days before getting transferred upstate last Wednesday. He was then tested at the Wende Correctional Facility near Buffalo, and found to be carrying the virus. He is currently in isolation and, according to sources, “is breathing on his own.” He has not shown any of the main symptoms of the respiratory virus.

The 68-year-old is currently serving a 23-year-sentence for sexually assaulting a TV and film production assistant and raping an aspiring actress. He was convicted of one count of criminal sexual assault in the first degree and one count of rape in the third degree. He received his sentence on March 11th, and was rushed to the hospital shortly after due to “chest pains.” It was then that he was first tested for coronavirus at Bellevue Hospital, the results for which came back negative at the time. He was then transferred to Rikers Island last Monday, after which he tested positive for the virus. 

Harvey Weinstein is officially back in custody at New York City’s main jail complex, Riker’s Island after suffering from chest pains following his infamous conviction. Back in Feb., the former movie mogul was found guilty of third-degree rape for attacking former actress Jessica Mann and a felony sex crime for forcing his former-production assistant, Mimi Haley to perform oral sex on Weinstein. Since then, Weinstein has been hospitalized on numerous occasions, underwent heart surgery, took a nasty fall at Riker’s, and even sent a death threat Jennifer Aniston’s way since his conviction. Rachel Murray/Getty Images

On March 11, Weinstein was sentenced to a total of 23 years in prison after being convicted guilty for rape and sex crime acts. Which eventually led to his blood pressure rising dangerously high causing him to be hospitalized. Now, according to Page Six, Weinstein was discharged from Bellevue Hospital on Monday afternoon (March 16) and is back at his new home for the next two-plus decades. 

During his initial trial, Weinstein allegedly sent chocolate-covered penises to one of his accusers, had his genitals detailed as prepubescent-like, had a “golden shower” incident vividly described in the courtroom, and had his nudes exposed to the juror panel. 

Despite his outlandish behavior and health complications, he will never be able to escape the fact that he is a convicted rapist and has to serve the time for his actions. Hopefully, nothing leads to his early demise while in prison at the moment, not because a portion of the population believes he’s a slimeball, but because he also has pending sexual assault charges in Los Angeles that have a trial begin. Stick with us as the Harvey Weinstein judicial saga continues to surge forward. 

Harvey Weinstein has been going through it after being convicted of rape and felony sex crime last month, including a heart surgery that he recently returned from last week. Now it’s being reported that his situation isn’t getting better in the least bit right about now after taking a fall while trying to navigate on Rikers Island without his walker.

Looking all types of decrepit in the photo above while heading into court for deliberations on February 24, Weinstein is apparently feeling even worse now than he looked back then according to a recent report from Page Six. “He’s miserable but trying to be optimistic as best he can,” said his spokesman Juda Engelmayer, further adding “He has had a lot of time to think about his life and be humbled, but he thinks it’s going to be a long, uphill battle from here.” What made things particularly worse was the incident that happened this past Saturday, which according to Engelmayer involved Harvey falling on his head so hard that he thinks he might even have a concussion. “His head has been pounding since yesterday,” Engelmayer confirmed. For some reason, we’re finding it a bit hard to feel bad for ol’ Humpty Dumpty over there.

Harvey Weinstein is set to officially be sentenced this Wednesday (March 11), and he faces up to 29 years in prison. 

The long arm of the law caught up with Harvey Weinstein after the disgraced Hollywood producer was found guilty of rape and felony sex crimes. The verdict was bittersweet for his dozens of accusers as some were happy that he’s off to prison while others can’t believe was found not guilty on other charges. As his trial moved forward, the 67-year-old defendant has complained of health issues. He was getting around with a walker and following the reading of the verdict, Weinstein was rushed to the hospital after allegedly suffering from chest pains.

TMZ reports that a few chest pains and trouble walking is the least of concerns for New York officials. The outlet states that the City is being careful about how they handle Weinstein behind bars because they are afraid of things ending up like the case of Jeffrey Epstein. Back in August 2019, convicted sex offender and friend to the rich and powerful Epstein was found dead in his jail cell. A month prior, Epstein was arrested on charges of the sex trafficking of minors. It was believed that in Epstein’s trial, the world would learn what celebrities and political leaders were involved in what was rumored to be one of the most covert elite sex trafficking rings. However, after Epstein died, charges against him were dismissed and any potential secrets were buried with him.

There has been some information shared about Weinstein’s upcoming time behind bars. TMZ states that he’ll be lodged in Riker’s Island in a private area. The North Infirmary Command has reportedly been segregated for “high-profile inmates” or those who have health problems. The publication says that officials will be monitoring Weinstein closely twenty-four hours a day. However, they didn’t formally call it a suicide watch.

As the former executive-turned-convicted sex offender continues to heal at the Bellevue Hospital, there are reportedly a select few Department of Corrections officials who are hoping they can transfer Weinstein somewhere else to avoid the hassle of housing him. It’s reported that Weinstein is looking at a minimum of five years behind bars.
