Speaking with CBS News, Elizabeth Holmes’s partner said that despite the shower scene and other regrets, he would “100 percent” make “You Can See Everything” once more.
Billy Evans, the partner of the disgraced Theranos founder Elizabeth Holmes and a central figure in the documentary film “You Can See Everything,” sat down with CBS News on Sunday, declaring he was choosing to speak out because “you can’t lose your voice.”
Over roughly nine minutes, Evans, who many people have come to see as the antagonist of the hit film directed by Nathan Fielder and Lance Oppenheim, pushed back against the notion that he is domineering and manipulative.
Speaking with the CBS reporter Matt Gutman, Evans said he was only someone who is “deeply passionate” about his work and family. “I am not some controlling monster who’s leveraging his wife for — insert whatever anybody is saying,” he said. “No, I’m not those things.”
Here are five takeaways from Evans’s interview.
Early in the film, Evans is captured fully nude in the shower, in a scene that has shocked many audiences and helped earn the film an R rating. He said this month in an “Ask Me Anything” on X that it was a “false narrative” to assert that he wanted to be filmed naked, despite Lance Oppenheim’s telling GQ that the shot was Evans’s idea.
“I did not give consent to do that,” Evans told CBS on Sunday, adding that crews would film 16 hours a day and that “all sorts of things were filmed with assurances made.” Evans knew that he was being filmed in the shower, he said, but he added that he had been surprised to see the scene in the finished film. It had created an “awkward” experience for him, he said.
Evans claimed the directors had made requests to “film things that are not appropriate for television.” When Gutman urged him to explain what exactly he was referring to, Evans responded, “All sorts of things that the details I’d rather spare the audience.”
