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. 

After receiving the breaking news that Harvey Weinstein would be serving 23 years of jail time for the assault and rape charges which he was convicted of in February, we learned that he was transported to a hospital instead of back into custody. This follows a series of health complications that have been plaguing Weinstein’s time in court. In December, Weinstein underwent back surgery as a corrective measure for a car accident that took place earlier in the year. Weinstein told police that he swerved off the road to avoid hitting a deer. On March 4th, Weinstein underwent an angioplasty procedure, so doctors could insert a surgical balloon into a clogged heart vessel to improve blood flow.

Weinstein’s spokesperson, Juda Engelmayer said in a statement that the decision to take Harvey Weinstein to Bellevue Hospital in New York, instead of back to Rikers Island, was to ensure his safety and good health. Engelmayer credited the NYC Department of Corrections for the “level of care and attention” that they are showing regarding Mr. Weinstein’s medical condition. It is reported that Weinstein was taken to the hospital to check on his ongoing heart problems and possible complications related to his back surgery. He was treated overnight and has since been transported back to Rikers. He is to be housed in the North Infirmary Command and is being supervised closely.

Since the Harvey Weinstein sexual assault trial began last month, some of the details behind his alleged harassment and assault have been unsettling and befuddling. Some of the testimony brought up against the former movie producer has involved the unsolicited gifting of chocolate penises, graphic sexual assault details, and claims of absentee testicles. Now, Jessica Mann, the same woman who described Weinstein’s genitals as deformed, has testified that the former mogul urinated on her without consent.

According to Page Six, the former aspiring actress recounted to Manhattan Supreme Court jurors that Weinstein had urinated on her while the two were in the shower together. During her testimony, Mann stated:

“We were in the shower. He wanted to shower first which was beneficial to me … and he asked me to come into the shower and then he said to me, ‘Have you ever had a golden shower,’ and I said ‘no’ and then I felt him peeing on me.”

Weinstein’s defense lawyer, Donna Rotunno attempted to invalidate Jessica Mann’s claims stating that she kept seeing the former Hollywood heavyweight for her own personal benefit and asked if Mann chose to leave following the event she was peed on, to which Mann replied, “No.”

Rotunno continued to allude that Mann was a consenting party to Weinstein’s ‘golden shower’ as Mann replied again, this time holding back tears:

“I was in shock by it. It was gross … I turned into the corner of the shower and just looked away.” 

Weinstein’s defense attorney continued to badger Mann during their cross-examination claiming that the 34-year-old had changed her phone number approximately five times between 2013 and 2017, but consensually sent her new number to Weinstein each time in hopes of benefitting from what Weinstein had to offer. 

The former actress revealed that Weinstein could have possibly been manipulating throughout their relationship stating:

“I guess it was an aspect of how I felt I needed to protect myself. I guess maybe you could say it was manipulating.”

Last Friday, Mann testified that Weinstein allegedly raped her twice, once at the Doubletree Hotel in New York in March 2013, and an additional time in Los Angeles later that same year. 

As of right now, Harvey Weinstein has only been charged of sexual assault against Mann in the alleged March incident. His other two accusers, Miriam ‘Mimi’ Haleyi and actress Annabella Sciorra have also testified that he forcibly assaulted them. If convicted, Harvey Weinstein faces a maximum sentence of life in prison.

Sopranos actress, Annabella Sciorra, took the stand today (Jan. 23) as a victim in the criminal sexual assault case against Harvey Weinstein. During Sciorra’s testimony, the True Love actress claims that Weinstein sent her care package complete with movies, Valium, and chocolate candy in the shape of penises.

Sciorra claims that Weinstein sent her the peculiar care package in response to casting her in multiple Miramax movies he was producing in the early 1990s. The now 57-year-old actress revealed that she was stressed because Weinstein wanted her to film back-to-back productions. According to Sciorra’s testimony obtained by PageSix, Sciorra called the gesture, “an effort to help me relax and not be so stressed.”

The first care package containing popcorn, licorice, movies, and Valium arrived at her Central Park West apartment. Prosecutor, Joan Illuzzi-Orbon, then asked Sciorra if he had sent any additional ‘packages’ to her apartment to which she replied “Yes.” Sciorra continued detailed the contents of the package saying:

“It was a box of chocolate penises … I thought it was disgusting and inappropriate.”

Annabella Sciorra is one of three women claiming that Harvey Weinstein sexually assaulted her and the first to take the stand against her alleged rapist. Sciorra claims that Weinstein raped her in her own apartment then proceeded to forcibly perform oral sex on the Brooklyn-bred actress in 1993 (or) 1994. 

With Weinstein currently being charged with two counts of predatory sexual assault, two counts of rape, and one count of criminal sex acts, he’s staring at a maximum sentencing of life in prison. And with his accusers boldly coming forward and testifying against the former super-producer, it looks like Weinstein could never see a day of freedom again if convicted.

American supermodel, Gigi Hadid, born Jelena Noura Hadid, has been revealed as one of the potential jurors in the upcoming Harvey Weinstein criminal case. The former film mogul is charged with two counts of predatory sex assault, two counts of rape, and one count of a criminal sex act arising from the allegations from multiple women who have come forward with their claims.

Earlier today (Jan. 13), the world-renowned fashion model was swallowed by a sea of paparazzi upon her arrival at the courthouse in Manhattan dressed in an oversized blazer, white t-shirt, and sunglasses. On the fifth day of jury selection, the 24-year-old socialite was summoned by the court along with 119 other prospective jurors for the case slated to begin Jan. 22.

When all of the potential jurors were asked by Justice James Burke if they knew him, the lawyers, or the defendant, Hadid casually raised her hand and identified herself as she stood in the jury box. Hadid announced, “I have met the defendant.”

To which Burke responded, “Do you think you can be a fair and impartial juror in this case?” The model simply responded, “Yes.”

The judge went on to read out a list of potential witnesses including the likes of Rosie Perez, Salma Hayek, Charlize Theron, and more. Then proceeded to ask the prospective jurors if any of them knew them personally. Hadid raised her hand an additional time stating, “I have met Salma Hayek and possibly Ryan Beatty.”

Hadid, who was spotted with ex-boyfriend Zayne Malik recently, closed out the encounter saying, “I think I’m still able to keep an open mind on the facts.”

Hadid and others were ordered to return next week to join other pre-screened jurymen from which twelve jurors and six alternates will be selected. If convicted, Harvey Weinstein faces up to a life sentence in prison. Check out the clip of Gigi Hadid entering the Manhattan courthouse earlier today in the video provided above.  

Alleged rapist and sexual predator Harvey Weinstein awaits upcoming criminal trial on January 6th, in which he faces charges of predatory sexual assault, a criminal sexual act, first-degree rape and third-degree rape. Since October 2017, more than 80 women have accused Weinstein of sex crimes, including from harassment, assault, and rape, the latest of which was a Polish model who was 16-years-old at the time of the alleged assault. He has pleaded not-guilty to all of these crimes, and insists that none of the allegations are true. Weinstein reflected on the situation to CNN recently, stating, "The past two years have been grueling and have presented me with a great opportunity for self-reflection. I realize now that I was consumed with my work, my company and my drive for success. This caused me to neglect my family, my relationships and to lash out at the people around me. I have been in rehab since October 2017, and have been involved in a 12-step program and meditation. I have learned to give up my need for control.”

If found not guilty, he plans "to focus on my children, my health and rest." However, he also believes that it is "possible for him to rebuild a career in the film industry." Though he admits "it will take a bit of work to build back to it," Weinstein thinks he "can get back to doing something good and building places that help heal and comfort others." "If I can do something positive to advance the causes that I had always championed," he said, "I hope to find a way to do so." He believes that “the public’s biggest misconceptions" about him "come from the assumptions that have been made through the help of media.”
