Elizabeth Holmes’ Partner Says He Wrestled Nathan Fielder
Elizabeth Holmes’ partner, Billy Evans, allegedly wrestled filmmaker Nathan Fielder in a deleted scene from the documentary You Can See Everything.
“I really wish they’d kept the scene where I wrestled Nathan, Borat style,” Evans, 34, wrote via X on Sunday, November 8, referencing a scene from Sacha Baron Cohen’s 2006 comedy Borat. “Full top mount. His little Canadian frame struggling beneath me.”
Evans added that he “thought [Fielder] was in on the joke, until he wasn’t.”
“Imagine realizing that [on] camera,” he continued. “This literally wouldn’t make the top 10 best deleted scenes. We didn’t hold back. We showed them everything. You saw what they wanted to show you …. It was a wild experience. Hate us, live [sic] us, the truth or lack there of is in the edit.”
Evans responded to several fans who asked for clarification on the alleged wrestling scene.
“Clothed,” he wrote when asked if he was “naked” while entangled with Fielder, 43, a reference to the scene in which Borat was nude as he wrestled his producer (played by Ken Davitian). “But [codirector] Lance Oppenheim asked him to 1) stand by the edge of the pool 2) remove his phone and monitor 3) look up. Then I tossed Nathan into the pool. Borat wrestling ensued. I thought it was a bit. It wasn’t.”
Evans also agreed with a fan who encouraged Fielder and Oppenheim, 30, to “release the footage” that wasn’t shown in the final edit of the A24-produced doc, which hit theaters on October 16.
“They filmed us for 3 years. Everything. Imagine your life for 3 years. Every conversation up for debate, with someone else deciding what to show,” he wrote. “But yes. I advocate for it.”
You Can See Everything pulls back the curtain on Holmes’ life in the month leading up to the start of her 11-year federal prison sentence in 2023. The meta doc — which turns the lens on itself to show the film crew and cameras at work — also features footage of Evans from 2025.
Holmes, 42, is the former CEO of Theranos, a company she founded in 2003 and claimed would create a revolutionary medical device that could run hundreds of complex health tests from a tiny pinprick of blood. An investigation in 2015 discovered that the technology did not work, and Holmes was accused of deceiving high-profile investors.
In January 2022, a jury found Holmes guilty of four counts of wire fraud and conspiracy. She was sentenced in November 2022 to 11 years and three months in federal prison and reported to a facility in Bryan, Texas, in May 2023. (Holmes was also ordered to pay 12 victims a total of $452 million in restitution. Her former business partner and ex, Ramesh “Sunny” Balwani, was sentenced to nearly 13 years in federal prison and ordered to pay a share of the $452 million to their victims.)
In September, Holmes secured an early release from the minimum-security Federal Prison Camp in Bryan and is scheduled to be transferred to a halfway house, the Austin Transitional Center in Del Valle, Texas, in August 2027 — three years before she was previously expected to be released from prison.
