Billy Evans has said he felt “violated” by the inclusion of a nude shower scene in the documentary film You Can See Everything, in which he appears alongside his partner, Elizabeth Holmes.
The 34-year-old addressed the scene during an “ask me anything” session on X, rejecting the suggestion that its inclusion was entirely his choice as a “false narrative”.
The film, directed by Nathan Fielder and Lance Oppenheim, shows Evans exercising in a gym before cutting to an extended shot of him naked in the shower at home. He is then seen leaving the bathroom with a towel around his waist and nearly encountering Fielder outside.
Billy Evans challenges account of shower scene
Oppenheim previously said Evans had willingly removed his clothes for the cameras, adding that it appeared “like he really had something he wanted to show to us and to the world.”
However, a source told People that the shower scene “wasn’t Billy’s idea” and that he had agreed to it on the understanding that it would remain suitable for a general audience.
“Finding out otherwise via media coverage would be unsettling for anyone, to say the least,” the source said. “It’s a violation of trust and exploiting that trust for shock value.”
Another insider claimed Evans had been told the nudity would be removed from the finished film. TMZ reported that he had been told “it would not make the final cut for legal reasons”.
When one person told Evans that the scene “doesnt happen unless you want it to,” he replied that this was a “false narrative”. Asked whether the filmmakers had entered the shower or begun filming without him telling them to stop, Evans shared the article quoting the source who said he felt “violated” and responded: “trust the ‘sources.’”
