Elizabeth Holmes Documentary: 10 Shocking Moments You Won't Believe!

Nathan Fielder's documentary about Elizabeth Holmes is packed with bizarre encounters, uncomfortable conversations, and unexpected twists. From shocking claims to Amanda Seyfried's surprise involvement, discover 10 of the film's wildest moments.

1. Nathan Fielder Gets Unbelievable Access to Holmes' Private Life

Elizabeth Holmes and Billy Evans appeared determined to show the world who they really were. Their approach? Give the filmmakers almost unrestricted access to their everyday lives.

Fielder was even invited to stay at their rented home in California. In one particularly uncomfortable scene, Evans casually brushes his teeth while completely naked in the shower, seemingly unfazed by the cameras.

For Fielder, the couple's willingness to reveal so much raised more questions than answers.

2. Holmes and Evans Consider a New Theranos-Like Venture

Despite the collapse of Theranos and Holmes' fraud conviction, the former entrepreneur apparently wasn't ready to abandon her ambitions.

Before entering prison, Holmes and Evans discussed a potential new medical technology project involving artificial intelligence and lasers.

Evans even referred to the idea as a possible second chapter, suggesting they could revive elements of their earlier ambitions.

3. Elizabeth Holmes Claims She Has Never Lied

One of the documentary's most astonishing moments comes when Fielder asks Holmes whether she has ever lied.

Her initial response? She doesn't believe she has.

When Fielder challenges her with an everyday example of dishonesty, Holmes acknowledges having made excuses in the past but explains that she thought he was referring specifically to her criminal case.

The exchange leaves Fielder questioning how to interpret her answers.

4. A Strange Argument Over the Theranos Machine

The documentary also revisits the blood-testing technology at the center of the Theranos scandal.

Holmes brings out one of the company's devices and continues defending its capabilities.

When Fielder questions whether the machine could actually perform the tests she describes, the conversation turns into a confusing debate about what it means for something to be technically possible.

Rather than reaching an understanding, the two seem to become increasingly frustrated.

5. A Classic Comedy Sketch Creates Even More Confusion

In an attempt to illustrate their communication problems, Fielder introduces Holmes to Abbott and Costello's famous Who's on First? routine.

The comedy sketch revolves around a misunderstanding involving baseball players' names.

But Holmes initially struggles to grasp the central joke, leaving Fielder trying to explain why he showed it to her in the first place.

The bizarre exchange becomes another example of their difficulty understanding each other.

6. Fielder Makes an Awkward Joke Before Holmes Goes to Prison

As Holmes prepares to begin her prison sentence, Fielder decides to give her an unusual farewell present.

He arrives with hair dye and glasses, joking that she could use them to change her appearance and escape.

Unfortunately, the timing couldn't be worse.

With Holmes' parents present and the family preparing for an emotional goodbye, Fielder quickly realizes that his attempt at humor may have been inappropriate.

7. Amanda Seyfried Watches Holmes React to The Dropout

One of the documentary's biggest surprises involves Amanda Seyfried, who won an Emmy for portraying Holmes in the Hulu miniseries The Dropout.

Holmes had avoided watching the dramatization of her life, but Fielder eventually convinces her to give it a try.

The experience proves overwhelming, and Holmes becomes emotional before asking him to stop the episode.

Later, Fielder shows Seyfried footage of Holmes reacting to her performance, creating an extraordinary encounter between the actress and the woman she portrayed.

8. Amanda Seyfried Becomes an Unexpected Investigator

Seyfried's involvement doesn't end with watching the footage.

As Fielder continues trying to understand Holmes and Evans, the actress becomes increasingly interested in the situation.

She even accompanies him to Evans' home, hoping to gain a better understanding of the family's perspective.

During the visit, Seyfried unexpectedly finds herself participating in a brief prison phone call with Holmes, making an already unusual situation even more uncomfortable.

9. Billy Evans Takes Over Holmes' Social Media

With Holmes serving her sentence, Evans assumes responsibility for managing aspects of her public image.

The documentary reveals that he has access to her verified X account and publishes messages on her behalf.

Some posts feature language that seems noticeably different from Holmes' carefully cultivated public persona.

Evans also attempts to negotiate a financial arrangement involving the documentary, raising concerns for the filmmakers about how much influence the couple might have over the project.

According to the film, he ultimately decides against accepting payment.
