51 minutes ago 0

Tyler Shultz, a key whistleblower against Theranos, expressed his surprise at the portrayal of Elizabeth Holmes in the new documentary, “You Can See Everything.” Shultz described being shocked at seeing Holmes’ depiction on screen. “The Elizabeth that I knew completely commanded a room,” he said on “CBS Mornings.” Shultz noted her confidence, contrasting it with the broken image presented in the film.

In addition, Shultz criticized Holmes’ portrayal of Theranos’ technology in the documentary. He accused her of misleading the film’s director, Nathan Fielder. According to Shultz, the device shown was not the one he worked with and which failed quality controls.

Holmes remained steadfast in denying wrongdoing throughout the Theranos scandal, a stance upheld in the documentary. The film explores her life in a San Diego rental property in 2023, shortly before her 11-year prison sentence began. Her partner, Billy Evans, and their two children are also featured.

Holmes’ downfall centered on her fraudulent claims that Theranos technology could conduct comprehensive analyses with tiny blood samples. Shultz argued that she knew she was lying, constructing a web of deceit. He joined Theranos in 2013 as an intern and left in 2014 to inform The Wall Street Journal and government agencies of the company’s practices.

The documentary premiered with a $15 million opening weekend, marking it as one of the most profitable for its genre.
