Summary
- Elizabeth Holmes disputes a New York Times quote about her persona.
- A new documentary features the controversy surrounding the quote.
- The reporter stands by her notes and recollection of the event.
A new documentary, "You Can See Everything," co-directed by Nathan Fielder and Lance Oppenheim, revisits a dispute over a quote attributed to disgraced Theranos founder Elizabeth Holmes. The controversy centers on a statement made to The New York Times in 2023, shortly before Holmes began her prison sentence for fraud.
Reporter Amy Chozick recounted an interview where Holmes allegedly said, "They're not playing me. They're playing a character I created." Holmes, however, claims she stated the character was "they created." Chozick affirmed her reporting, detailing the conversation that occurred during a walk on the beach.
The film reportedly includes evidence that Holmes' partner, Billy Evans, recorded the exchange. However, the provided audio segment does not contain the disputed quote. Chozick defended her note-taking process, emphasizing that many revealing moments occur off-record.
"You Can See Everything" captures Holmes' life in the 34 days leading up to her incarceration, offering a unique perspective on her interactions with the filmmakers. The documentary is currently in theaters.
