Shultz: Holmes a 'broken woman' in new doc
19 Oct
Summary
- Tyler Shultz found Holmes unrecognizable in the documentary.
- He accused Holmes of misleading filmmaker Nathan Fielder.
- Shultz detailed the harmful consequences of Theranos' false test results.
Tyler Shultz, a whistleblower from the Theranos scandal, described Elizabeth Holmes as a "broken woman" in the recent documentary "You Can See Everything." Shultz noted her stark contrast to the confident executive he once knew, appearing almost unrecognizable on screen.
He accused Holmes of misleading filmmaker Nathan Fielder by showcasing a rudimentary, unfinished version of the Theranos blood-testing device. Shultz emphasized this prototype was not the machine used to test patients, nor was it the device that failed regulatory scrutiny.
Furthermore, Shultz disputed Holmes' claims of innocence, asserting she was aware of deceiving investors. He cited allegations from a 2018 Securities and Exchange Commission complaint regarding inflated revenue figures. Shultz also recounted instances where Theranos' faulty tests led to incorrect diagnoses, causing significant distress to patients.
The documentary "You Can See Everything," released on October 16, 2026, follows Holmes and her partner in the weeks before she began her federal prison sentence in May 2023. Holmes was convicted of fraud in January 2022 and sentenced to over 11 years.
