Billy Evans, Elizabeth Holmes’ romantic partner and the villainous third wheel in Nathan Fielder’s “You Can See Everything,” has taken to social media to answer burning questions about the documentary. In a post on X Monday night, Evans invited viewers to “AMA” (ask me anything), with the addendum: “Needs to be legally permissable [sic].” Asked to pick one misconception about the film to dispel, Evans said, “That I somehow control Liz. Anyone who actually knows her would find that idea hilarious.
She’s fiercely independent, strongwilled [sic], and my best friend. We are partners in every sense. We challenge each other, disagree, and face the world together.
Her closest friends are also some of my closest friends. If I ever mistreated her, they’d have my head.” And asked if he regrets agreeing to the documentary, Evans wrote, “Not at all.” In case there was any doubt as to whether Evans was familiar with Fielder’s work, he said before the documentary he had seen “almost all of it.” Still, Evans said he and Holmes did “0” preparation ahead of filming with Fielder. Evans said they celebrated Fielder’s birthday during production, “around the table in Del Mar with my family.” He said Fielder missed the Time 100 dinner — the magazine named the comedian one of the 100 most influential people in 2023 — so they celebrated that too.
Culture critic and podcast host Hunter Harris asked Evans whether he thought Christopher Abbott — who plays Evans in reenactments opposite Amanda Seyfried as Elizabeth Holmes — was miscast. Evasively, Evans replied, “Who is that?” One question that came up repeatedly was whether Evans was high on cocaine during the filming of the documentary, which had been speculated due to his frequent sniffing. Allergies in Austin TX are no joke,” he wrote.
In another post, he asked, “Please someone from Austin back me up here.” When one X user asked about his “facial bloating and the going insane part,” Evans responded, ” I got fat. Raising 2 kids alone, best friend in prison, depression, building a business. I ate more than I should.
I prioritized my kids over my health. I’ve learned that I can find the time to do small things for myself again. And that eating after 10pm isn’t one of them.” In “You Can See Everything,” Evans explains to Fielder that he has been posting on Holmes’ social media accounts while the Theranos founder is incarcerated.
