Elizabeth Holmes Documentary Features Fiancé Billy Evans in Full-Frontal Shower Scene
The new film "You Can See Everything" offers an intimate look at Holmes' life leading up to her prison sentence, including candid moments with her partner.
A new documentary titled "You Can See Everything" includes a notable scene featuring Billy Evans, fiancé of Theranos fraudster Elizabeth Holmes, in a full-frontal naked shower sequence. The film, which debuted in theaters on Friday, offers an in-depth look at Holmes' life for a month at her family's California home as she awaited her 2023 federal prison sentence.
The documentary's directors, comedian Nathan Fielder and Lance Oppenheim, were granted extensive access to Holmes and Evans at their San Diego residence. Early in the film, Evans, who is the father of Holmes' two children and CEO of the blood-testing startup Haemanthus, is shown at a gym. The filmmakers then captured him allowing them to film his shower, which resulted in the inclusion of the explicit scene.
In other moments within the nearly three-hour documentary, Holmes maintains her innocence regarding the technology at her former company, Theranos. When Fielder asks if she has ever lied, Holmes initially responds, "I don't think so," but later concedes to having told minor lies, such as to avoid social plans.
The filmmakers themselves experienced a sense of paranoia during the shoot, noting the guest house where they stayed lacked basic amenities like mattresses, leading them to suspect they might be under surveillance. Oppenheim described the experience as being part of a "conspiracy thriller of our own."
The film also captures Holmes' emotional reaction to watching Amanda Seyfried's portrayal of her in the Hulu series "The Dropout." Holmes becomes tearful while viewing a scene where Seyfried, as Holmes, reacts intensely to business advice. She asks Fielder to turn off the television, visibly distressed.
Elizabeth Holmes was convicted in 2022 on charges of conspiracy to commit wire fraud and wire fraud, leading to a sentence of over 11 years in prison. She founded Theranos in 2003 at the age of 19. The documentary premiered at the Telluride Film Festival on September 6.
