JUST IN: Harvey Weinstein Hospitalized Following Transfer to Rikers Island Jail After Rape Conviction Overturn
Disgraced film producer Harvey Weinstein was hospitalized this Saturday following his transfer back to Rikers Island jail.
The 72-year-old is undergoing a series of medical tests ahead of his scheduled court appearance next week.
