Billy Evans Calls His Portrayal in Elizabeth Holmes Documentary "Crazy" but Says: "It's Entertainment"

Billy Evans says the documentary makes him look “crazy” but calls it entertainment as the film nears $80 million worldwide.

  • On Friday, Billy Evans, partner of disgraced Theranos founder Elizabeth Holmes, gave his first TV interview to CBS News discussing his portrayal in the hit documentary "You Can See Everything."
  • The three-hour documentary has grossed over $80 million, portraying Evans as manipulative and controlling, a characterization he acknowledged makes him look "crazy" in the film.
  • Evans told CBS News chief correspondent Matt Gutman his goal was to show the real Elizabeth, saying, "I see the person that I love in exactly who she is."
  • Actor Amanda Seyfried, who portrayed Holmes in "The Dropout," described a tense dinner-table exchange with Evans, noting "the gloves are off" regarding his aggressive behavior during filming.
  • While Holmes serves a 10-year prison sentence, Evans holds power of attorney and manages her social media, though he denies controlling her, stating they are equal partners.
