He has had a bunch of health scares behind bars over the past few years.<\/p>\n<p><a id=\"continued\" class=\"continued-anchor\"\/><\/p>\n<p>In his latest one &#8230; we&#8217;re told Weinstein was having a hard time breathing, and the authorities rushed him to Bellevue Hospital Prison Ward in Manhattan. Our sources say Weinstein has been receiving treatment at Bellevue ever since.<\/p>\n<p>We&#8217;re told doctors have put him on an IV, hooked him up to a heart monitor and given him antibiotics to treat his pneumonia.\u00a0Weinstein&#8217;s now feeling better, we&#8217;re told, but he&#8217;s not out of the woods just yet.<\/p>\n<p>As we previously reported, Weinstein became the poster boy for the #MeToo movement, getting convicted in 2020 of rape and a criminal sexual act and receiving a 23-year sentence.<\/p>\n<p>In 2022, Weinstein was convicted in Los Angeles for rape and sexual assault and was given a 16-year sentence. But his New York conviction was overturned in 2024, yet he was convicted again of sexual assault in a 2025 retrial.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Harvey Weinstein Rushed To NYC Hospital &#8230; After Suffering Heart Failure Published July 1, 2026 1:12 AM PDT&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":527810,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[32],"tags":[321,93,61,60],"class_list":["post-527809","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-celebrities","tag-celebrities","tag-entertainment","tag-ie","tag-ireland"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/527809","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=527809"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/527809\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/527810"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=527809"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=527809"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=527809"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
