Billy Evans Hosts AMA on X: Addresses Cocaine Rumors, Holmes' Social Media
· Confirmed
In Short: When asked about rumors that cocaine might be to blame for his behavior in the film, Evans wrote, 'Never been a fan.' He clarified that his frequent onscreen sniffing was due to allergies, not drug use.
Billy Evans hosted an Ask Me Anything (AMA) session on his X account on November 2, where he addressed various questions from fans about his involvement in the documentary 'You Can See Everything.'
Evans also addressed the burning question of what his cousin's 'thing' was, which he described as a vague reference to a family matter. He explained that he was late for his cousin's 'thing' early in the film, a detail that had left many viewers confused.
In the AMA, Evans went into detail about his relationship with Holmes, denying that he has any real control over her social media accounts but admitting that he still has strong feelings for her. He wrote, 'I miss everything about her. I miss her presence. Her touch. The way she runs her fingers through my hair. Her patience. She makes me a better person.'
Evans explained that he gained access to Holmes' X account by contacting the company directly because the account 'was tied to an old Theranos email' and Holmes had forgotten her password. He noted that he was acting on her behalf while she was incarcerated, but it was not a substitute for her consent.
During the AMA, Evans also discussed his cultural tastes, expressing his love for Chappell Roan, Kendrick Lamar, Charlie Kirk, and Taylor Swift. He said he bought Holmes' engagement ring at the Reputation tour merch booth.
When asked if he regrets agreeing to the documentary, Evans wrote, 'Not at all.' He added that they celebrated Fielder’s birthday during production, 'around the table in Del Mar with my family.'
Evans also addressed the scene where he undressed and stepped into the shower, saying he was late for his cousin's 'thing,' a vague reference to a family matter.

Background
You Can See Everything is a 2026 American metadocumentary directed by Nathan Fielder and Lance Oppenheim. It follows Elizabeth Holmes, the founder of the defunct health technology company Theranos, and her partner Billy Evans, who invited a film crew to document them beginning in the weeks before Holmes began serving a United States federal prison sentence for defrauding investors.
What's confirmed
- However, co-director Oppenheim, 30, offered a different account in an interview with Vulture published Oct. 19, saying Evans undressed and stepped into the shower while cameras rolled, without discussing how he wanted the scene to be filmed.
What's still developing
- People often say they need someone when what they really mean is… Perhaps most importantly, he addressed the burning question of what his cousin’s “thing” was.
- And on Monday, November 2, Evans spent some time answering questions from fans… everything was on the table other than his caveat that every question “needs to be legally permissible.” He tried to clarify some of the film ‘s more confusing moments, including his frequent onscreen sniffing, which he chalked up to allergies.
- Early in the film, Evans abruptly cuts off a conversation with Fielder on the beach when the topic turns to his family’s wealth by vaguely stating that he’s late for his cousin’s thing.
- Culture critic and podcast host Hunter Harris asked Evans whether he thought Christopher Abbott — who plays Evans in reenactments opposite Amanda Seyfried as Elizabeth Holmes — was miscast.
