Billy Evans claims he did not consent to You Can See Everything's full-frontal nudity

Billy Evans, the partner of Elizabeth Holmes, recently claimed during an interview on CBS Sunday Morning that he did not give consent to being filmed naked in the shower during the making of the documentary You Can See Everything. In the interview, Evans said, "I did not give consent to do that." He also expressed surprise at seeing his entire body on camera, stating, "Now, did I know they were filming me in the shower?

Yes. But we would film 16 hours a day; all sorts of things were filmed with assurances made." Evans described the experience as "awkward," particularly for having "your kids' teachers see that," and he neither took pride nor desired the scene. He further denied the notion that he was "showing the world," arguing that he is "a confident guy, but I'm not that confident."

Before the film's release, Evans reportedly asked the filmmakers to "pixelate" his penis, which they refused to do. Oppenheim, the co-director of the documentary, stated in a GQ interview that Evans said he didn't care about being seen naked, but he could have been filmed in a way that avoided showing his genitals, which Evans declined.
