Elizabeth Holmes' partner Billy Evans speaks out on documentary 'You Can See Everything'
Photo: Washington TimesBilly Evans, the partner of former Theranos founder Elizabeth Holmes, held an online question-and-answer session on X on Nov. 3 to discuss "You Can See Everything," the documentary by Nathan Fielder and Lance Oppenheim that followed the couple before Holmes was incarcerated. Holmes was convicted of four counts of wire fraud for misrepresenting her company's technology to investors, was sentenced to 11 years in prison in 2022, and is held at a minimum-security prison in Bryan, Texas. The film was released Oct. 16. In the session, Evans said he misses Holmes deeply, said he does not regret agreeing to the film, and offered explanations for several scenes, including saying a "Lasers" license plate belongs to an employee and that his sniffles were caused by allergies. Viewers and experts have questioned the couple's intentions.
The right-leaning Washington Times offers only a brief excerpt. It reports that Evans spoke out on the new documentary during an ask-me-anything session, describes him as Holmes' partner and the father of her children, and places the session on Reddit rather than X, the platform the other outlets cite; none of his answers appear. The left-leaning NBC News leads with Evans speaking out and his emotional remarks about Holmes, then gives her fraud conviction, prison term and the film's critical and commercial success. Alternative sources differ in emphasis: TMZ leads with rumored cocaine use and Evans' caveat about question rules, while The A.V. Club calls him a pseudo-villain and highlights his non-regret, his birthday tribute to Fielder and his explanations for puzzling moments. All sources agree on the documentary and the online session.
How the sides differ Left and alternative sources focus on Evans' personal remarks; the right source's brief excerpt names Reddit, not X, as the venue.
