Whistleblower Says Holmes Isn't Herself in Documentary

Tyler Shultz says the former CEO at the center of a new Theranos documentary barely resembles the boss he once knew. Speaking on CBS Mornings about You Can See Everything, the whistleblower and grandson of the late Theranos board member George Shultz said Elizabeth Holmes once owned any room she walked into but now appears to be "a broken woman" who was "almost unrecognizable" onscreen. He had a more substantive critique of the film, too, per CBS News.

Shultz accused Holmes of misleading co-director Nathan Fielder in the documentary, saying the blood-testing device she presents isn't the one employees used, hid from regulators, or used to generate faulty results for patients. Holmes maintains she did nothing wrong, despite her 2022 conviction for defrauding investors. Shultz disagrees but concedes the film, especially its scenes showing her leaving her children to enter prison, could increase sympathy for Holmes, per People. The documentary, filmed just before Holmes began serving an 11-year prison sentence, opened Friday.
