Harvey Weinstein shows off horrifying look as he begs judge to listen to his bloodcurdling plea By LAURA PARNABY FOR DAILYMAIL.COM Published: 15:11 EST, 29 January 2025 | Updated: 15:29 EST, 29 January 2025 e-mail 29 View comments Harvey Weinstein has shown off a horrifying new look in court as he begged a judge to listen to his bloodcurdling plea. The disgraced movie mogul asked the court to push his trial date forward due to his deteriorating health , while wearing a heavily-crumpled suit.
Weinstein said 'I don't know how much longer I can hold on' as he suffers with cancer , heart issues and harsh conditions at New York City 's Rikers Island jail. The 72-year-old objected after Judge Curtis Farber said the retrial would start April 15, imploring him to swap with another, unrelated trial the judge has in March. 'Everyday I'm at Rikers Island, it's a mystery to me how I'm still walking,' Weinstein said at a hearing in state court in Manhattan.
'I'm holding on because I want justice for myself and I want this to be over with.' Weinstein wore a badly-creased suit with a metal American flag pin on the lapel for his court appearance, which appeared too large for his shrunken form. His white shirt also appeared unironed, adding to the haggard look.
