Elizabeth Holmes’ Husband Billy Evans Claims He Didn’t Consent to ‘You Can See Everything’ Nude Shower Scene
Billy Evans claims that he “did not give consent” to his fully nude scene in the shower in Nathan Fielder and Lance Oppenheim‘s Elizabeth Holmes documentary You Can See Everything.
In a preview clip from Holmes’ husband’s interview on CBS Sunday Morning with Matt Gutman, the host asked him, “Did you know you were doing the full monty? Did you give permission for that? There seems to be some discrepancy.”
“I would say that our recollections are pretty different on that. I did not give consent to do that,” Evans replied. “Now, did I know they were filming me in the shower? Yes. But we would film 16 hours a day, like all sorts of things were filmed with assurances made. I was just as surprised as the rest of the country to have my whole body on camera for the world to see.”
Evans said that it has “been an awkward experience and having your kids’ teachers see that, it’s really uncomfortable.” He added, “ I’m not proud of it. I didn’t want it. It’s been weird seeing the commentary about, ‘Oh, he’s just showing the world.’ I’m a confident guy. I am not that confident.”
Evans even alleged that he asked A24 and Fielder to “pixelate” his full frontal shot after he heard the scene made it into the doc from people who had screened it before it released, but they “refused to do so.”
He explained, “I communicated with them before the film came out. Both through lawyers and through myself. I was like, ‘Can you pixelate this? Like, is there anything you can do?’ Because I had heard rumors from people who’d seen the film in the early screenings. And, they refused to do so.”
The Hollywood Reporter has reached out to A24 and Fielder for comment but has not yet heard back.
Co-director Oppenheim was asked about the full-frontal footage in an Oct. 23 interview with GQ and said he “honestly [doesn’t] know” why Holmes’ husband agreed to be naked in the film.
Oppenheim added, “We were in the car ride on the way back from the gym and I said to Billy, ‘We will give you some time to shower.’ And Billy responded, ‘Want to film me showering?’ I offered to film him in a way that could avoid seeing his genitals, but Billy said he didn’t care about being seen naked.”
Evans said that despite people claiming that “‘Billy wanted the world to see this,’ I very much did not, you know, to the point in which I’m asking them and pleading to them not to show this before the film became public in theaters.”
“Apparently, it was something that Nathan and A24 really wanted to show the world, but it’s not something I did,” Evans added. “And it’s embarrassing. I’d also say the color grading is like, way off.”
