Harvey Weinstein arrived at a court hearing in Manhattan using a walker on Wednesday.
Weinstein’s sexual assault trial is set to start next month. Last week, his attorney Donna Rotunno said the public scrutiny on him had taken a toll on his health. Whether this is, as many of his detractors seem to be implying, a “publicity stunt” remains to be seen.
"This is tough on anybody going through this and dealing with the scrutiny, not only in the courtroom but the court of public opinion, and this has been hard on him," said Rotunno. "He has some back issues that we're hoping to address this week, and that's where his health stands. You can tell, it's tough on him."
Wednesday's court hearing had to do with Weinstein's bail conditions. According to CNN, “Judge James Burke offered Weinstein three options for bail: $5 million cash bail, a $50 million security bond partially secured at 10%, or a $2 million insurance company bond, each with a 72-hour surety.”
