Harvey Weinstein's estimated net worth has dwindled to less than a tenth of his previous $300million fortune, financial experts told DailyMail.com - as he is set to fight yet another costly trial. The convicted rapist movie mogul, 72, is still likely to be sitting on tens of millions of dollars after decades at the pinnacle of Hollywood, but has been drastically devalued after his business' bankruptcy, two divorces, over $40million in class-action settlements, and millions in attorneys' fees. And he will continue to hemorrhage cash to lawyers after a New York appeals court ruled on Thursday that his rape conviction in that state will be retried.

Attorney Arthur Aidala said Weinstein was moved to Bellevue Hospital in Manhattan after his arrival on Friday to city jails. Aidala said: 'They examined him and sent him to Bellevue. It seems like he needs a lot of help, physically. 'He´s got a lot of problems. He´s getting all kinds of tests. He´s somewhat of a train wreck health wise.' The New York Court of Appeals ruled on Thursday that the disgraced movie producer did not receive a fair trial when he was convicted in 2020.

Former maths teacher Richard Parsons (left), 58, amassed a £115million fortune through his CGP exam revision guides which are poured over by GCSE and A-Level pupils across Britain. Mr Parsons has been at the forefront of a libel case against residents of Broughton-in-Furness (inset), Cumbria - which has a population of less than 600 - who he says have read malicious lies about him within the community. Mr Parsons accused Douglas Atkinson (right) a former friend from primary school of reading out one of the defamatory letters, which included several untrue allegations that he harmed the community with his 'greed and selfishness', the High Court in London heard.

Rose McGowan is making her voice heard after her alleged abuser Harvey Weinstein's sex crimes convictions were overturned. The 50-year-old actress shared a video post to Instagram on Thursday in which she offered words of encouragement to Weinstein's other accusers and fellow rape survivors. 'They will never overturn who we are,' she captioned the clip, which was filmed against a background of greenery. 'Blessings to all who gave their all #spirit #courage #unity.'

Jurors in 2022 convicted the R&B singer, born Robert Sylvester Kelly, on three charges of producing child porn, and three charges of enticement of minors for sex. In his appeal, Kelly argued that Illinois 'former and shorter statute of limitations on child sex prosecutions should have applied to his Chicago case rather than current law permitting charges while an accuser is still alive.

Ashley Judd looked somber as she stepped out in New York City on Friday - one day after one of Harvey Weinstein rape convictions was overturned. Weinstein, 72, has been serving 23 years in a New York jail for two sex attacks against aspiring actress Jessica Mann and another involving production assistant Mimi Haleyi.

Former National Enquirer publisher David Pecker testified in Donald Trump's hush money trial this week about the tabloid's 'catch and kill' practices. A former staffer who worked at the tabloid for more than 20 years told DailyMail.com about the lengths the tabloid would go to for a story. '[Pecker] is the biggest star f***er you've ever met,' the former employee said. 'Much like Trump, he's loyal to no one'.

Weinstein (pictured top right this year and bottom left with Judd in 1997), 72, has been serving 23 years in a New York jail for the two sex attacks against aspiring actress Jessica Mann and production assistant Mimi Haleyi after his conviction in 2020, but the New York Court of Appeals ruled on Thursday that the disgraced movie producer did not receive a fair trial. 'This is unfair to survivors. We live in our truth. We know what happened,' Judd (left), who was the first to come forward with allegations against Weinstein, wrote on Instagram. The actress also told the BBC: 'Oftentimes survivors say that the betrayal and the moral injury we suffer within the system is worse than the sexual body invasion we experienced in the first place.' Weinstein became the face of the #MeToo movement after dozens of women came forward alleging sexual abuse . Thursday's decision was described as 'profoundly unjust' by his accusers.

Paolo Liuzzo was well-off, well-educated, smoothly handsome and extremely well connected - in other words, a man who had been dealt a hand of cards that can make life both worthwhile and rewarding. Appearances, however, can be deceptive. The good fortune that the fates had bestowed, which included a few months of global celebrity as Princess Beatrice 's first serious boyfriend, could not keep pace with a fast and unravelling life. He had a criminal record that included being charged with manslaughter and possession of cocaine and would go on to embarrass the Royal Family with lurid claims of drug-taking and hard partying.

Disgraced Miramax boss Harvey Weinstein, who was accused of sexual abuse by more than 80 women, is delighted that 'finally somebody listened to him' after news his New York rape and sexual assault convictions had been overturned. The New York Court of Appeals ruled that Weinstein's initial trial in 2020 included unfair testimony from women who recounted alleged abuse but did not form part of the criminal complaint. Weinstein will remain in jail despite the reversal due to a separate conviction for rape in Los Angeles.

Americans took to social media to express their disbelief, with many calling the reversal 'disgusting and disappointing' and labeling the justice system 'a complete joke.' The New York Court of Appeals ruled that the movie producer, who has since become the martyr of the #MeToo movement, did not receive a fair trial when convicted in 2020. Thursday's decision made by New York's highest court will not free Weinstein from prison, as he still has another conviction in Los Angeles for a separate rape, which his team is also appealing.

A criminal defense attorney told DailyMail.com that Weinstein will now likely face extradition to California, where he was also convicted in a separate 2022 case.

Weinstein has been serving 23 years in a New York jail after being convicted of two sex attacks against actress Jessica Mann and production assistant Mimi Haleyi. Four other women were allowed to testify about Weinstein's previous behavior, even though their claims were not part of the prosecution. Today, an appeals court ruled the decision to include their testimony was a 'crucial' mistake. It is the main reason Weinstein's conviction has been overturned.

Harvey Weinstein has had his New York rape and sexual assault convictions overturned. The New York Court of Appeals ruled that the disgraced movie producer did not receive a fair trial when he was convicted in 2020. It is unclear if the bombshell ruling will free him from prison as he still has another conviction in Los Angeles for a separate rape.

Douglas H. Wigdor, who represented two of the witnesses at the New York trial, called the court's decision a 'step back in holding those accountable for acts of sexual violence. He added: 'Courts routinely admit evidence of other uncharged acts where they assist juries in understanding issues concerning the modus operandi or scheme of the defendant. 'The jury was instructed on the relevance of this testimony and overturning the verdict is tragic in that it will require the victims to endure yet another trial.' Actress Katherine Kendall, another of Weinstein's accusers, said she was 'flabbergasted' at the decision. She called it 'a terrible reminder that victims of sexual assault just don't get justice.' 'I'm completely let down by the justice system right now,' Kendall added. The court found the judge at the landmark #MeToo trial prejudiced the ex-movie mogul with 'egregious' improper rulings, including a decision to let women testify about allegations that weren't part of the case. 'We conclude that the trial court erroneously admitted testimony of uncharged, alleged prior sexual acts against persons other than the complainants of the underlying crimes,' the court's 4-3 decision said. 'The remedy for these egregious errors is a new trial.' The state Court of Appeals ruling reopens a painful chapter in America's reckoning with sexual misconduct by powerful figures - an era that began in 2017 with a flood of allegations against Weinstein. His accusers could again be forced to retell their stories on the witness stand.

The long-rumored video produced by the New York Knicks in 2010 to entice LeBron James to sign in the Big Apple has finally surfaced, showing everyone from Donald Trump to Tony Soprano urging the NBA superstar to come to Madison Square Garden. 'The real winners of the world want to be here,' Trump said in the video, which was unearthed by podcaster Pablo Torre. 'They want to come to New York, whether it's Wall Street, whether it's fashion, no matter what it is, this is the place the real winners want to be.' James was undoubtedly the biggest free agent in league history at the time, and with a bevy of teams in position to sign him, a string of NBA executives paid the Akron native a visit to make their pitches.

The former president will appear in court in Manhattan on Monday, despite multiple efforts from his legal team to delay the start of the Stormy Daniels hush money case, where he is accused of trying to hide a $130,000 payment to cover up an affair he denies ever having. His legal team have been in and out of court for months trying to get the charges tossed and claiming it should be in a different venue, because he can't get a fair trial in Manhattan. The presumptive Republican nominee's attorneys will now go to battle with prosecutors from the Manhattan District Attorney's Office. He has picked a veteran white-collar lawyer, a criminal defense attorney and those who have worked on Trump Organization cases to fight his corner as he stares down 34 charges of falsifying business records. Here are the key members of both the prosecution and defense teams as jury selection begins on Monday.

LAURA FARRIS: The #MeToo campaign and Harvey Weinstein's demise in 2017 made waves around the world. For perhaps the first time, women felt empowered to speak out and challenge their perpetrators, which was bolstered by the growing public's tolerance of sexual assault and harassment. More than that, it exposed Weinstein's sinister tactics to silence his victims and protect his own name by non-disclosure agreements (NDAs). Confidentiality guarantees aren't common or inappropriate in employment disputes or to shield trade secrets. If a case is settled outside of court, it's normal for both sides to agree to keep the information private. Weinstein's sentences were calculated to mask his crimes. Women were forbidden from discussing their behavior with their doctors, therapists, or even HMRC, and they were unlikely to disclose it in any future criminal or civil lawsuit.

Abductors will no longer be able to silence victims who are now police after a massive crackdown on gagging orders. Changes to the legislation on non-disclosure agreements (NDAs), which are commonly used to shield sensitive information and mask allegations of wrongdoing, would encourage victims to seek justice and help to restore their lives. The move comes after Harvey Weinstein, the disgraced movie mogul, revealed how confidentiality agreements were being used by sexual predators and bullies to avoid prosecution.

On Monday, police, Homeland Security, and a number of other black-clad, helmeted feds searched his Los Angeles and Miami homes as part of a high-drama sex trafficking investigation. And they even frog-marched his sons out of their $40 million LA mansion with guns drawn. And, it appears from photographs Sean 'Diddy' Combs' lawyers' presentation, his gaudy cribs were destroyed. We're talking about Puff Daddy, not El Chapo, right? The Bad Boy mogul is now taking a page from another beleaguered naughty boy's playbook, as the rapper's counsel called the coordinated raids a 'gross overuse of military-level power' and a "witch hunt." Did he crib that from glamazon Trump lawyer Alina Habba?

Arden Young, an actress, has left Hollywood after photographer Kenneth Dolin allegedly groped her after he begged her to pose for a nude shoot at the age 20. After being arrested last week when a 29-year-old woman accused him of sexually attacking her at his Los Angeles apartment, Dolin, 64, is out on $1 million bail. Young wrote, 'He is a frightening individual, and I'm hoping he gets put behind bars at the maximum sentence.'

Mira Sorvino recalled how she stopped getting major studio film offers in 1998 after rejecting Harvey Weinstein's sexual advances 'for the third time.' I had a lot of amazing offers for a time, but Harvey Weinstein's career was stifled.' So, I stopped doing [large] studio films after 1998," the 56-year-old Oscar winner lamented to People editor-in-chief Wendy Naugle during 90s Con on Sunday. I've lost my ability as a viable movie actress.' I still did indies and television, but it was still difficult; I didn't know what was going on at the time...I wasn't sure what was happening at the time. Well, it's been a bit like fate was just not going to be on my side, but it would be just a matter of time before I got my status back.'
