AceShowbiz - Disgraced movie mogul Harvey Weinstein has beaten the coronavirus from behind bars.
The producer reportedly tested positive for COVID-19 last month, but now his aides insist he has no symptoms.
"As of now, it's been 14 days since reports of concern from people inside the prison, and he has no symptoms and no issues," Weinstein's spokesman, Juda Engelmayer, says.
The 68-year-old producer was sentenced to serve 23 years behind bars on March 11 for sexually assaulting former production assistant Mimi Haley and raping an aspiring actress.
Michael Powers, the head of the New York state corrections officers union, claimed Weinstein had tested positive for the coronavirus on March 22, adding the former film boss had been placed in isolation at Wende Correctional Facility, near Buffalo, New York.
