Harvey Weinstein’s dreadful transformation from his time in prison may be the start of a downhill slope. The former film producer could potentially face more charges, and in turn, more prison time as new allegations are brought forth. Case in point, the reason for Weinstein’s May 2024 appearance in court was because more of his alleged victims have come forward. According to the Boston Herald, Chief Assistant District Attorney Nicole Blumberg explained to the judge why there was a sudden increase in testimony. “People who couldn’t speak out in 2020 are now willing to speak out in 2024,” she said. The court appearance resulted in a discovery hearing scheduled for July 2024.
Weinstein’s new potential charges are not the only things he should be worried about. Although his case in New York was overturned in April 2024, Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg reassured the public that he and his team would pursue a retrial. He said in a statement obtained by NBC News, “We will do everything in our power to retry this case and remain steadfast in our commitment to survivors of sexual assault.” The date for a new trial has yet to be set, but with all the legal issues Weinstein is facing, along with still being in prison, it’s no wonder he’s had such a drastic transformation.
