Who Elizabeth Holmes' partner Billy Evans is as he bizarrely goes nude in new record-breaking doc
While it’s not out in the UK for another month, our timelines and feeds are filled with Nathan Fielder’s new documentary, You Can See Everything.
And by the sounds of it, you really do see everything at some points as Billy Evans goes fully nude in a bizarre scene.
To be honest, it seems he’s left viewers stunned at various points. Evans is the boyfriend of the record-breaking documentary’s key subject: Elizabeth Holmes.
Co-directed by Fielder with Lance Oppenheim, the crew lived with the couple for 34 days before she went to jail to start her 11-year prison sentence. The CEO of health tech company Theranos, Holmes was found guilty on four counts of fraud, three counts of wire fraud, and one count of conspiracy to commit wire fraud. She started her sentence on 30 May, 2023, months after welcoming a second child with Evans.

Who is Billy Evans?
Holmes and Evans met in 2017 after being introduced by a mutual friend at a charity event and got in engaged the following August.
He comes from a family of hoteliers, with his grandparents founding a hospitality company back in 1953.
From 2010 to 2015, Evans attended Massachusetts Institute of Technology and left with a Bachelor of Science in Economics.
His linked in currently lists him as working for Haemanthus, a biotechnology research company.
In 2021, Holmes gave birth to their first son, William Holmes Evans, after her pregnancy delayed her trial. And in November 2022, it was revealed they were expecting a second – with it reported she became pregnant after she was convicted in the January.
A court document filed in February 2023 said she had given birth to Invicta (Latin for ‘invincible’).
She reported to Federal Prison Camp Bryan in Texas on 30 May, 2023.
Until the release of You Can See Everything, much about Evans and Holmes' life together was private.
You Can See All of Evans
There seems to be plenty of bizarre bits in the new documentary, we got a good sense of that from the viral trailer alone.
But a good chunk of X is simply discussing the baffling face that we are given a full-frontal moment from Evans.
Fielder and Oppenheim stayed in the home with the couple and a seven-person crew, shooting up to 16 hours a day.
During one of those days before Holmes’ prison sentence began, Oppenheim went to the gym with her boyfriend.
The co-director asked Evans what else he planned to do that afternoon.
He told Vulture that Evans said he’d shower and before Oppenheim could actually respond ‘he stripped and hopped in’ and we ended up with this scene of him naked in the shower.
“It seems like he really had something he wanted to show to us and to the world,” Oppenheim said.
The graphic nudity of this scene ended up giving You Can See Everything its R rating.
Now having a limited run in the US and Canada, the documentary lands in UK cinemas on 20 September – in case you were wondering when you can see everything too.
