Harvey Weinstein is spending his first night bars after undergoing heart surgery after his trial, a new report claims.
The disgraced movie mogul was taken to Bellevue Hospital in Manhattan following his conviction on rape charges last week, and a new report from the New York Post’s Page Six claims that he underwent surgery to have a stent put in place. A source familiar with the procedure told the newspaper that it took four hours, and that Weinstein was able to leave the hospital at close to 1 p.m. on Thursday.
After he was discharged, Weinstein was sent to Rikers Island, where a judge ordered that he stay until his sentencing.
As the newspaper’s source said, it has not been an easy transition for the man who was once one of the most powerful in Hollywood.
“He’s nervous but he isn’t in control and has to deal with it,” a source said.
