Harvey Weinstein Complains About the Carby Meals at Rikers

Ex-Hollywood producer and convicted sexual predator Harvey Weinstein has reportedly complained about the carby meals at Rikers despite having much larger fish to fry. Per the Daily Mail , the diet complaints came to light via Weinstein’s lawyer, Arthur Aidala, during a hearing Tuesday regarding his now-overturned 2020 rape conviction. According to the outlet, the hearing revealed that prosecutors are looking to find new victims of Weinstein before handing down a new indictment and trying him again. Aidala also complained about delays in the case, to which prosecutor Nicole Blumberg responded, “It is an ongoing process. We don’t anticipate a delay but I can’t give the court a specific timeframe.” Weistein’s health struggles since going to prison have been various. Most recently, he had a brief stay at Bellevue . In court Tuesday, Aidala listed out Weinstein’s current health troubles, which included heart issues, scoliosis, and diabetes. Aidala attributed the diabetes to “the diet they give in Rikers Island [which] is 90 percent carbohydrates which just turn into sugar.” Weinstein is due back in court later this month.
