Harvey Weinstein Transferred to Hospital After ‘Alarming’ Blood Test
Harvey Weinstein has been transferred back to Bellevue Hospital, as his attorneys allege he is facing inhumane treatment at Rikers Island.
Last week, his attorneys filed a$5 million claim against New York City, alleging that he has faced deplorable and inhumane conditions at Rikers Island, causing his health to worsen dramatically to the point where he feared for his life. A federal judge last week threatened to appoint a receiver to take control of Rikers Island, finding an “extraordinarily high” level of violence in the facility despite years of operation under a consent decree. Ansari previously compared the facility to a “gulag where the prisoners are treated like animals.” He said that on his last visit there, he found that Weinstein’s clothes had not been washed in weeks and were spattered in blood, possibly from an IV.
