The disgraced film producer was diagnosed with leukemia in October.

Harvey Weinstein is back in the emergency room after an "alarming blood test result" required hospitalization, his legal team and spokesperson told PEOPLE on Monday in separate statements. The disgraced film producer was rushed to Bellevue Hospital in Manhattan for "emergent treatment" and is expected to remain until his condition stabilizes, according to his attorney Imran H. Ansari of Aidala Bertuna & Kamins PC, who alleged medical mistreatment at the hands of New York City jail staff at Rikers Island. “Harvey Weinstein, who has been suffering from a lack of adequate medical care and enduring deplorable and inhumane conditions on Rikers Island, has been transported to Bellevue Hospital for emergent treatment due to an alarming blood test result that requires immediate medical attention," said Ansari.
