AceShowbiz - Harvey Weinstein, the disgraced former film producer, had a heart procedure on Monday, September 9, but his condition is not looking good, according to sources close to the situation. The 72-year-old was rushed from Rikers Island to Bellevue Hospital last night due to chest pains and has been in critical condition ever since.

Weinstein's health has been in decline for several years, with numerous cases of COVID-19 and other medical issues. His representatives have confirmed the surgery but have declined to comment further. The Manhattan District Attorney's office has not responded to inquiries about Weinstein's health status.

A hearing scheduled for September 12 in Manhattan court is expected to be postponed due to Weinstein's condition. He is facing a second trial on sexual assault and other sex crimes. Weinstein was convicted in 2020 but had his 23-year sentence overturned by an appeals court. He is currently serving a 16-year sentence in Los Angeles for sex crimes.

Weinstein's legal team had formally appealed his LA conviction in June, and a tentative start date of November 12 had been set for his East Coast rape retrial. It remains unclear whether Weinstein's deteriorating health will impact the future court proceedings.
