Harvey Weinstein ‘diagnosed with rare bone marrow and blood cancer’ According to the Crown Prosecution Service (CPS), “there is no longer a realistic prospect of conviction” in the case against Harvey Weinstein for indecent assault. The infamous Hollywood mogul Harvey Weinstein, who was imprisoned for rape, has been found to have a rare type of cancer.
According to some US publications, Weinstein, 72, has chronic myeloid leukemia, a type of cancer that affects white blood cells and bone marrow.
The disgraced producer expressed “profound dismay at the speculation surrounding his medical condition” in a statement from his representative, who declined to elaborate.
“It is both troubling and unacceptable that such private and confidential health matters have become a subject of public discourse,” the spokesperson continued.
“Out of respect for Mr Weinstein’s privacy, we will offer no further comment.”
“The CPS has decided to discontinue criminal proceedings against Harvey Weinstein after reviewing the evidence in this case,” said Frank Ferguson, head of the CPS special crime and counter-terrorism branch, on Thursday.
