Billy Evans, the romantic partner of Elizabeth Holmes and father of her children, has spoken out about the new documentary “You Can See Everything” during an “Ask Me Anything” session on Reddit.
The documentary, which traces the final days before Holmes’ 11-year prison sentence and prominently features Mr. Evans, has been a box-office hit, with an estimated $65 million gross on a $7 million budget.
During an Ask Me Anything, or AMA, users on Reddit can post questions, with the hopes that the participant will respond. The internet was ready for Mr. Evans, who said that he would only answer questions that were legally permissible.

When asked about misconceptions of himself, he wanted viewers of the movie to know that he does not control Holmes.
“Anyone who actually knows her would find that idea hilarious,” he wrote. “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.”
He also said that he does not regret taking part in the doc “at all,” claiming that he had seen “all” of director Nathan Fielder’s work before filming.
Users kept asking about a potential cocaine habit, since during portions of the movie, Mr. Evans is seen repeatedly sniffing while talking to Mr. Fielder and the crew.
“Never been a fan,” Mr. Evans responded in a post. “Solo parenting 2 toddlers you are sick approx 75% of days. Allergies in Austin TX are no joke.”
One reveal in the documentary is that Mr. Evans is in control of Holmes’ X profile while she is behind bars, and that he also holds power of attorney.
“We talk about everything, including X,” he said. “Nothing happened behind her back.”
Of the POA, Mr. Evans wrote that it “was simply the legal mechanism that allowed me to act on her behalf while she’s incarcerated. It was not a substitute for her consent.”
Mr. Evans commented on his relationship with Holmes, writing, “I miss everything about her.”
“I miss her presence. Her touch,” he wrote. “The way she runs her fingers through my hair. Her patience. She makes me a better person. And without her, I feel an emptiness that’s hard to describe.”
