Harvey Weinstein Jailed In VIP Private Room Inside Bellevue’s ICU

In a highly unusual arrangement, the movie mogul was moved to a separate floor from where Rikers detainees are usually held, where he has access to his own phone, bathroom and television.

Harvey Weinstein is being kept in a private room inside Bellevue Hospital’s Intensive Care Unit on a floor away from all other detainees, THE CITY has learned.

Almost all city detainees with serious medical issues are kept inside the Department of Correction’s medical unit on the 19th floor.

But Weinstein currently has his own phone, bathroom, and television — a perk few, if any, other city detainees are afforded — in a different location in the hospital. He spends most of his day watching CNN and other television programs and talking in person or on the phone to Arthur Aidala, the attorney handling his appeal.

The disgraced movie mogul was moved to the Manhattan public hospital hours after he was brought back to Rikers Island on April 27 when an appeals court tossed his 2020 rape conviction.
