Weinstein has been diagnosed with chronic myeloid leukemia, as reported by NBC News.

The diagnosis comes just weeks after the disgraced producer, 72, underwent emergency heart surgery.

He received treatment after testing positive for Covid and contracting double pneumonia in his lungs. 

A date for Weinstein’s retrial on rape and sexual assault charges has been set for November 12.

It remains unknown if his cancer diagnosis will impact the timetable for his trial.
