This rapid weight gain adds serious risks to his diabetes and heart condition, Juda tells us … and, compounding his health problems is severe tongue inflammation, making it difficult to swallow, which has spurred real concerns he will choke to death. Weinstein, Juda says, is currently back at Bellevue so doctors can treat his tongue infection.
As you know … Weinstein has been dealing with health issues behind bars for years — landing in local Bellevue Hospital multiple times — dealing with double pneumonia, a leukemia diagnosis, and undergoing heart surgery … all in the past year.
Weinstein — who is still protesting his innocence after he was convicted of rape and several other crimes back in 2022 — has spoken out from jail in recent days, still advocating for himself … and, throwing himself in the same boat as actor Justin Baldoni. Weinstein inserted himself in the Baldoni-Blake Lively legal battle, accusing The New York Times of cherry-picking information to fit a certain narrative in both of their cases.
