Harvey Weinstein Sues NYC Over Rikers Island Conditions and Medical Neglect

Harvey Weinstein is suing the City of New York, alleging unsanitary and inhumane conditions at Rikers Island, where he is imprisoned. His lawyer claims Weinstein, who has chronic myeloid leukemia, has been denied adequate medical care and basic hygiene, describing the conditions as "deplorable" and akin to a "gulag." The lawsuit seeks $5 million in damages for negligence and violation of Weinstein's Eighth Amendment rights against cruel and unusual punishment.
