哈维·韦恩斯坦的律师伊姆兰·安萨里在一份声明中说,他已被带回纽约市贝尔维尤医院接受“紧急治疗,因为血液测试结果令人震惊,需要立即就医”。
“预计他将留在那里,直到他的情况稳定下来,”安萨里说。
这位名誉扫地的电影制片人被关押在赖克斯岛,等待对他性侵犯指控的新审判。
据他的同事说,温斯坦被诊断患有包括白血病在内的疾病。
温斯坦正在起诉纽约市及其矫正署,指控疏忽和未能提供足够的照顾。
安萨里说,温斯坦“一直遭受缺乏足够的医疗保健和忍受赖克斯岛上悲惨和不人道的条件。”
温斯坦的发言人朱达·恩格尔迈尔说,“虐待构成了残忍和不寻常的惩罚。”
温斯坦接受了紧急心脏手术九月份在贝尔维尤医院。7月,他被转移到贝尔维尤新冠肺炎病毒检测呈阳性和双重肺炎。
