Amanda Seyfried has finally addressed the most talked-about scene in You Can See Everything. In a Rolling Stone interview released on Wednesday, the 40-year-old actress said she has no regrets about sparring with Billy Evans at his dinner table, according to Business Insider and SheKnows.
How Seyfried ended up in the documentary
You Can See Everything is the documentary from Nathan Fielder and Lance Oppenheim. According to SheKnows, it follows Elizabeth Holmes and her partner Evans in the weeks before Holmes began a federal prison sentence. Seyfried won an Emmy for playing Holmes in the Hulu series The Dropout.
Business Insider reports that her friend Emma Stone put her in touch with Fielder, who first asked her to watch the interview footage and share her view. Her involvement grew from there. She filmed recreations of events the directors could not capture, and later travelled with Fielder to Evans’ home.
Seyfried told Rolling Stone she had strong negative feelings about Evans from the footage alone. She described herself as a “weird Billy detective” and said she felt she needed to meet him.
What she said about the dinner scene
In the scene, Seyfried visits Evans at home and meets his two children with Holmes. Holmes calls from prison during the visit. Over dinner the mood turns after Seyfried raises Evans’ management of Holmes’ X account, and he criticises her performance in The Dropout.
Seyfried said she felt “disrespected” and that there was “no reason” for him to get that aggressive. She told the magazine the scene was as intense as it looks on screen. She also said she was trying to defend herself while keeping enough rapport that Evans would not ask them to leave.
Asked if she would do it again, she answered that she does not regret it, then added that she will not repeat the experience. Business Insider says Evans did not respond to a request for comment.
A Tiffany & Co. first
The attention has landed in the middle of a busy fashion week. WWD reports that Seyfried, Tiffany’s newest ambassador, lit the Bird on a Rock at the brand’s Fifth Avenue flagship, known as The Landmark. It was her first lighting party in the role. Mikey Madison, also a Tiffany ambassador, attended.
Seyfried recalled buying herself a diamond solitaire at 16 with money from a soap opera job. She also said she plans to spend the holidays on her farm, where she has taken on emus. Madison joked that the two share another detail: each has a white donkey named Gus.
WWD’s footwear section says Seyfried wore an asymmetric black cutout gown with Jimmy Choo Ixia 95 patent pumps, which retail for US$1,050, and an Aligne wool-blend coat. She was announced as an ambassador in October and appears in the 2026 holiday campaign “Love Is a Gift”, according to WWD.
Cinderella in Steps
Seyfried is also promoting Steps, an animated take on Cinderella told from the stepsisters’ side. She told Extra she liked that the story focuses on friendship and bonding rather than romance. She said she related to the character’s quirks and spoke about having a diagnosis of OCD, which she drew on for the role. Ali Wong voices the stepsister Lilith, and Bette Midler and Stephanie Hsu are also in the cast.
What happens next
You Can See Everything is in theaters now. Seyfried says the film’s success means more industry events than she planned for the coming months, though she wants to be home on the farm for the holidays. No new project announcements came with this week’s interviews.
