Billy Evans challenges filmmakers over controversial nude scene in ‘You Can See Everything’: ‘I did not give consent to do that’

Evans says he asked the filmmakers to pixelate the footage before the film was released

Billy Evans has spoken out about the controversy surrounding a full frontal shower scene in You Can See Everything, claiming he never agreed to have his nudity shown in the documentary.

Evans, the partner of disgraced Theranos founder Elizabeth Holmes, appears fully nude in the film directed by Nathan Fielder and Lance Oppenheim. The documentary follows Holmes and her family during the period leading up to her imprisonment.

Speaking to CBS Sunday Morning’s Matt Gutman, Evans said he knew he was being filmed while showering but was surprised by the extent of the footage included in the final film.

“I did not give consent to do that,” he said, adding that he had been filming for long hours and had received assurances about what would be shown.

Evans also described the experience as uncomfortable, particularly because people connected to his children could see the footage. He said he was not proud of the scene and had asked the filmmakers to pixelate it before the documentary was released.

According to Variety, Evans said he contacted the production team both personally and through lawyers, but his request was refused. He also criticised the scene’s colour grading, describing it as inaccurate.

However, Oppenheim previously offered a different account of how the footage came about. In an interview with GQ, the director said Evans had suggested being filmed while showering during a car journey home from the gym. Oppenheim also claimed he offered to shoot the scene without showing Evans’ genitals, but that Evans had said he was comfortable with nudity.

The conflicting accounts have brought fresh attention to the documentary and the circumstances surrounding the scene. Evans has maintained that he did not want the footage shown publicly, while the filmmakers’ earlier comments suggest they understood the situation differently.
