Harvey Weinstein was rushed from prison to hospital for emergency heart surgery.

Harvey Weinstein underwent emergency heart surgery on Monday.

Bellevue received Weinstein, 72, who was hurriedly transferred from Rikers Island, as confirmed by his lawyer Arthur Aidala to Fox 5.

No other details were shared.

The convicted rapist, who lost his reputation in the entertainment industry, is currently incarcerated at Rikers Island in New York for 23 years.

After his rape conviction in New York was overturned in April, Weinstein has been in and out of court. Now, a judge has tentatively set his rape retrial to begin on November 12.

In late July, Weinstein was hospitalized with double pneumonia and COVID.

Representative Craig Rothfeld informed Planet Chronicle Digital that Weinstein is being treated for numerous health conditions, including diabetes, high blood pressure, spinal stenosis, fluid in his heart and lungs, and other ailments.

"Mr. Weinstein was diagnosed with COVID-19 and developed double pneumonia in his lungs."

On April 25, a New York appeals court overturned Weinstein's 2020 rape conviction, ordering a new trial in a landmark #MeToo case.

The court ruled in a 4-3 decision that Weinstein's trial judge had allowed prosecutors to call as witnesses women who had accused Weinstein of assault, even though their accusations did not directly relate to the charges against him.

In February 2020, Weinstein was convicted of forcing oral sex on Mimi Haley in 2006 and third-degree rape of Jessica Mann in 2013, resulting in a 23-year prison sentence.

Weinstein was found not guilty of first-degree rape and two counts of predatory sexual assault, according to Annabella Sciorra's allegations of rape in the 1990s. Weinstein maintains his innocence and claims he has never had non-consensual sex.

The appeals court ruled that the trial judge should have restricted witnesses to testifying only about the sexual assault encounters that formed the basis of Weinstein's charges, as several women testified about alleged sexual assaults that were not part of the charges.

In July 2021, Weinstein was extradited to California to face sexual assault allegations made by four women in Los Angeles and Beverly Hills between 2004 and 2013, following his sentencing in New York in 2020.
