Billy Evans, Elizabeth Holmes' partner, answers questions about 'You Can See Everything'

Billy Evans, the partner of convicted Theranos founder Elizabeth Holmes, held a question-and-answer session on social media to discuss the documentary "You Can See Everything," which was released October 16. The film, by Nathan Fielder and Lance Oppenheim, followed the couple weeks before Holmes was incarcerated. Holmes was found guilty of four counts of wire fraud, was sentenced in 2022 to 11 years, and is at a minimum-security prison in Bryan, Texas. During the session, Evans said he misses Holmes deeply, attributed his sniffling in the film to allergies, and said he does not regret agreeing to the documentary. Oppenheim told GQ that Evans wanted to be filmed naked, a claim Evans has pushed back on.

Left-leaning NBC News and Rolling Stone lead with Evans's emotional replies about Holmes, and NBC's headline centers on him speaking out after the release. Rolling Stone frames him as the film's most compelling and unnerving figure, stresses the unresolved question of whether he controls Holmes, and notes that Holmes gave him power of attorney before prison. Alternative outlets NewsNation and The A.V. Club lead with the nude-scene dispute and Evans's explanations for his on-screen behavior, and The A.V. Club also features his claim that Fielder skipped a Time 100 dinner to celebrate his birthday. The right-leaning Washington Times, which was available only as an excerpt, reports the session and the documentary but does not mention the nude-scene claim or Evans's emotional comments. Left and alternative outlets agree on the sentencing and release details, but differ in emphasis, and the right source differs on the platform.
