Billy Evans, the longtime partner of convicted Theranos founder Elizabeth Holmes, says he was glad “You Can See Everything” filming included Amanda Seyfried and addresses his villainous portrayal in his first televised interview since the popular documentary’s release.

Nearly a month after the A24 documentary was released, a muted Evans, 34, gave his first interview on CBS’ “Sunday Morning.”

When asked about Seyfried’s role in the documentary, Evans said he was “really glad that they included her because it shows what a difference there is between the real thing.”

“And how eager she was to play a character,” he added.

Directors Nathan Fielder and Lance Oppenheim brought on the actor who portrayed Holmes in Hulu’s limited series “The Dropout,” after realizing how the series impacted the people in Holmes’ life, especially her parents, according to Rolling Stone.

Seyfried — who quickly agreed to be part of the film under the impression she was needed for advice and research — told Rolling Stone after seeing the footage Fielder and Oppenheim filmed while the pair temporarily lived with Holmes and Evans, she became narrowly focused on her need to meet Evans.

“We all had this need to understand who was pulling the strings,” she told Rolling Stone. “What he was doing and how he was in the footage that I saw, how you guys were interacting — it felt yucky to me.”

On camera, Fielder and Seyfried met Evans and his children at their home. What ensued was a heated exchange between Seyfried and Evans that marked one of the most unforgettable moments of the documentary.

Over dinner, Evans insulted Seyfried’s acting and the two quarreled over the actor’s criticisms of Charlie Kirk shortly after the right-wing influencer was killed in 2025 while speaking at an event in Utah.

Seyfried told Rolling Stone that the argument didn’t necessitate Evans’ “aggressiveness.” She described her perception of Evans’ attitude toward her as disrespectful, and felt that he was also disrespectful to his long-time partner.

“I don’t like the way he’s using this human being, his wife — the person he says he’s ‘building monuments of love’ to — as a tool,” she said. “Maybe he does respect her, but he’s behaving like he does not respect her.”

On CBS Sunday Morning, Evans is asked about his opinion of Seyfried’s acting or the actor as a person.

“I’m going to do my best not to speak poorly about other people right now, because I’ve had a lot of people do that about me recently and I know how it feels,” Evans said.

The 34-year-old Evans comes from a wealthy San Diego hotel family, is a graduate of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, and famously stood by Holmes when her blood-testing start-up Theranos collapsed, followed by her conviction for defrauding investors in 2022.

Holmes is serving an 11-year federal prison sentence in Texas, and her partner is raising their two children while pursuing a new biotech venture of his own.

During the interview, Evans said his goal with the documentary was to have people “see Elizabeth.”

“And when I watch that movie I see the person that I love and exactly who she is,” he said.

Teary-eyed, Evans said he and their children visit Holmes in federal prison every week. He said their daughter’s first steps occurred during a visit.

“I’m deeply passionate about my family and about the work that I do,” he said. “But no, I’m not some controlling monster who’s leveraging his wife for insert whatever anybody is saying. No, I’m not those things.”

Viewers of the A24 documentary unanimously walked away from the film dubbing Evans as the villain. In response, Evans said, “It’s super painful, but me being angry about it doesn’t help change it.”

When it comes to the uncomfortable scene of Evans showering nude, Evans told CBS he knew they were filming him.

“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,” he said.

A24 told CBS everything was filmed with consent.

Emmerdale actress Claire King, who plays icon Kim Tate on the ITV soap, has teased the fallout to Thea Ramsden’s stabbing, hinting it could lead to a shock death

An Emmerdale character faces a gruesome death next week on the ITV soap.

As DS Thea Ramsden is stabbed during a showdown with her secret mother Kim Tate, Kim actress Claire King warns that the detective might die. As a terrified Kim frets over missing Baby Tate, some Halloween horror leaves her fearing for her safety.

Things come to a head when Thea shows up at Home Farm, with Kim unaware that Thea is her long-lost daughter. As tensions rise, and Thea is accused of kidnapping Baby Tate, Kim tries to escape but is grabbed by Thea.

Kim panics, and stabs Thea leaving her injured. But will Kim’s secret daughter survive? Hinting at Thea’s fate, Claire shared: “Thea turns up, and at first Kim doesn’t think it’s Thea at all, so she tells her what’s going on—the noises, the bangs, the things like that.

“Then Kim suddenly thinks, ‘Oh my gosh, it is it’s Thea.’ So she tries to run and escape. She hides, but Thea comes through, locks the back door before she can bolt through it. So as she’s running round the table, she kind of slips, and Thea manages to grab hold of her.

“And in a panic, she’s thinking, ‘I’m going to get hurt.’ So, and she just happens to stumble across a cheese knife, sharp cheese knife, and in her panic state, she stabs Thea.”

On whether it could lead to Thea’s death, Claire teased: “The knife has gone in. She’s not bleeding out, but she does pass out, and and Kim’s in total panic mode. She doesn’t know whether she can save her or not.

“I think she’d be absolutely beside herself if she realised that Thea was her daughter at this point because she spent all this time trying to get to know her, having lost her 27 years ago, and and now she could lose her forever.”

If Thea survives, Claire reckons Kim could face big trouble. Claire said: “Thea’s been stalking Kim for a long time, so she knows that she could do her harm.

“And this is the worst-case scenario now because she thinks that, you know, Thea will actually get her back and put her in prison for this. So it’s it’s whether, it’s how Thea is going to respond to this in hospital when she gets treated.

“The police would get involved, and obviously if something happens to her, um, or if the worst-case scenario, she dies, she could end up back in prison again.” Claire also talked about the changes to villainous Kim over the years, but added she was still “ruthless”.

Claire said: “I think she is mellowing, but it’s mainly because we’ve been seeing a lot of children about and babies, and and the horses and things, and those are the things that make her soft. But underneath she’s she’s still got a a steely hard core, you know. And a very ruthless side.”

Emmerdale airs weeknights at 8pm on ITV1 and ITVX. * Follow Mirror Celebs and TV on TikTok , Snapchat , Instagram , Twitter , Facebook , YouTube and Threads .
