From ABC News: Harvey Weinstein has been diagnosed with a form of bone marrow cancer, sources told ABC News.
Weinstein has been diagnosed with chronic myeloid leukemia, sources said, adding that the former Hollywood producer is receiving treatment while jailed.
Weinstein’s authorized legal healthcare representative in New York, Craig Rothfeld, declined to comment, saying, “Out of respect for Mr. Weinstein’s privacy, we will offer no further comment.”
According to the American Cancer Society, chronic myeloid leukemia is a type of cancer that starts in the blood-forming cells of the bone marrow and invades the blood. The organization says approximately 15% of leukemias in adults are CML.
The many sexual misconduct and sexual assault allegations filed against the disgraced Hollywood producer a few years ago started the #MeToo movement.
Weinstein, 72, remains incarcerated at Rikers Island in New York, where he is undergoing treatment for the cancer.
He has also received treatment for a number of health issues while in prison, including emergency heart surgery last month.
