Inside Cancer-Hit Harvey Weinstein’s Nightmare Prison Life

Weinstein is also battling chronic myeloid leukemia, which is a rare type of cancer of the bone marrow according to Mayo Clinic. His condition has gotten so poor insiders believe he will die in prison.

A source told RadarOnline.com: “Weinstein is becoming resigned to the fact he could die even before he reaches his second trial. He’s frail and sends every day tortured over his downfall. The stress, plus the cancer, is a killer combination and he might only have weeks left.”

A representative for Weinstein, however, initially denied the diagnosis, and then shut down “speculation” around his health status.

They shared: “… It is both troubling and unacceptable that such private and confidential health matters have become a subject of public discourse. Out of respect for Mr. Weinstein’s privacy, we will offer no further comment.”
