The operation was successful, and Weinstein is now recovering in the hospital. A representative confirmed the surgery, but did not provide further details.
“We can confirm that Mr. Weinstein had a procedure and surgery on his heart today,” Rothfeld and Engelmayer said in a statement.
Weinstein convicted in 2020 and sentenced to 23 years in prison for sexual misconduct. However, in 2024, the case was reopened for a new trial due to procedural violations.
