Elizabeth Holmes’ husband Billy Evans revealed he’s a fan of You Can See Everything — despite being shown in a villainous light — in an upcoming interview with CBS Sunday Morning.
In his first TV interview since the release of the acclaimed documentary,
Evans said he enjoys the film, even though he’s seen as “conniving and manipulative,” as CBS’ Matt Gutman put it.
“I would have preferred for that not to be the case, but it’s entertainment,” Evans said of his portrayal in the documentary. “I think that my goal is to have people see Elizabeth, and when I watch that movie, I see the person that I love in exactly who she is.”
In the preview of this weekend’s CBS Sunday Morning’s interview, Evans was asked why he was sitting down for an interview at all, given what happened the last time he appeared on-camera.
“You gotta learn really painful lessons sometimes in life,” Evans explained. “With Elizabeth going through everything she did in the press, the lesson that was ingrained in us is, ‘You can’t lose your voice.’ So I look forward to speaking with you.”
In another clip from the interview posted on TikTok, Evans reiterated that he asked the directors of the film not to include his full-frontal shower scene. “I did not give them consent to do that,” Evans said, repeating what he said in a Twitter AMA earlier this week. “I was just as surprised as the whole country to have my whole body on camera for the world to see. And it’s been an awkward experience in having your kids’ teachers see that.”
“I communicated with [the filmmakers] before the film came out, both through lawyers and through myself. ‘Can you pixelate this?’ … And they refused to do so.”
In Rolling Stone’s conversation with You Can See Everything directors Nathan Fielder and Lance Oppenheim and meta co-star Amanda Seyfried, the actress talked about wanting to meet Evans while Holmes — the woman Seyfried portrayed in The Dropout — was incarcerated.
“It felt dangerous. I wanted answers,” Seyfried said. “We all had this need to understand who was pulling the strings. What he was doing and how he was in the footage that I saw, how you guys were interacting — it felt yucky to me. I just wanted any information I could get on Billy. I became this weird Billy detective because I had gotten such strong negative feelings from him in the footage. I felt like I needed to meet this guy. It was exciting to me, and it was scary, and it was questionable.”
