Harvey Weinstein's lawyers have filed a legal claim against New York City, alleging that he is receiving inadequate medical care and is being held in unsanitary conditions at Rikers Island jail. The claim highlights issues such as untreated medical conditions, lack of clean clothing, and poor hygiene, seeking $5 million in damages.
