Harvey Weinstein , the Hollywood producer whose predatory behavior sparked the Me Too movement and landed him in prison, has chronic myeloid leukemia, according to major outlets.

Unnamed sources told NBC and CNN that Weinstein is being treated at Rikers Island in New York for the disease, which is an uncommon cancer of the bone marrow. The five-year survival rate for the 72-year-old Weinsteins 65-and-older age bracket is 50.3%, according to the City of Hope .

A representative for the former studio boss did not deny the reports but called them unacceptable.

It is both troubling and unacceptable that such private and confidential health matters have become a subject of public discourse, Craig Rothfeld, Weinsteins prison consultant and health care representative, said in a statement to CNN . Out of respect for Mr. Weinsteins privacy, we will offer no further comment.
