Billy Evans, the romantic partner of Elizabeth Holmes and a prominent figure in Nathan Fielder’s documentary *You Can See Everything*, has taken to social media to address viewers’ questions about the film. His engagement with fans offers insights into his perspective, the documentary’s portrayal, and his relationship with Holmes, who is currently incarcerated.
Addressing Misconceptions About His Relationship with Holmes
In a post on X, Evans invited followers to “AMA” (ask me anything), playfully noting that the questions needed to be “legally permissible.” When asked about the biggest misconception from the documentary, he clarified, “That I somehow control Liz. Anyone who actually knows her would find that idea hilarious. She’s fiercely independent, strong-willed, and my best friend. We are partners in every sense. We challenge each other, disagree, and face the world together.” He emphasized that their bond includes mutual friends who would intervene if he ever mistreated her.
No Regrets Over the Documentary
Evans confidently stated that he has no regrets about participating in the documentary. He mentioned that although he was familiar with Fielder’s work and had seen “almost all of it” before shooting, he and Holmes did “0” preparation for filming. The couple celebrated Fielder’s birthday during the production, highlighting a personal touch to their experience while he was also busy crafting a narrative for the documentary.
Coping with Speculation and Personal Challenges
One frequent question he faced concerned rumors that he was under the influence of cocaine during filming due to his noticeable sniffing. Evans cleared the air by stating, “Never been a fan. Solo parenting two toddlers, you are sick approx 75% of days. Allergies in Austin TX are no joke.” He also addressed his appearance during the shoot, humorously attributing his weight gain to the stress of “raising 2 kids alone, best friend in prison, depression, building a business,” adding, “I prioritized my kids over my health.”
Clarifying His Role During Holmes’ Incarceration
In *You Can See Everything*, Evans revealed that he has been managing Holmes’ social media accounts while she is incarcerated. He explained that due to having power of attorney, he does not need her approval for posts, as he understands her voice deeply. “We talk about everything, including X. Nothing happened behind her back,” he noted, reaffirming the trust and candidness in their relationship.
Insights on Pop Culture and Personal Reflections
Evans also shared thoughts on various pop culture topics, praising Kendrick Lamar as a “generational talent” and declaring, “Chappell Roan has one of the best live sets I have ever seen.” He also revealed his four favorite films: “The Fall,” “Alien,” “The Great Dictator,” and “Primer.” Responding to questions about other figures in media, he commented on the moral implications of Ethan Klein’s public controversies.
A Deep Emotional Connection with Holmes
When reflecting on his relationship with Holmes, Evans expressed deep feelings of longing. He poignantly stated that the first thing he will do when she gets out of prison is to “hold our kids tight and talk all night.” He elaborated, “I miss everything about her… her presence… her patience. She makes me a better person. I need Liz. She should qualify as a medically necessary prescription.” Evans humorously noted the lighter aspects of their relationship, jokingly dismissing any deficiencies in her cooking.
