fun fact, i know billy evans (elizabeth holmes' husband) quite well we were friends in college. he even filled in for a last minute cancellation and went on my bachelor party ski trip we don't chat much these days, have hung out at a few mutual friends' weddings in the past couple of years yes he has always had the shock-factor / self-involved / attention seeking personality, even in college. he'd acknowledge this but he also had a genuinely kind and good natured side that we don't hear much about. trite to say, and i understand why you might not hear me, but he is a good person. he just is the trial changed him. the cruel, brutal, harsh reality of his life predicament changed him. his edges are sharper and he come across as unhinged but imo it's all a defense mechanism developed to protect himself and especially his family the human mind, when cornered, behaves in unpredictable ways the world is curb-stomping him over and over and over and over again, and he has two vulnerable little kids at home and a wife in prison. if you were in his shoes, i promise you you'd behave in ways people would judge you for. i would. i haven't said anything until now but the effect the whole ordeal has had on him gives me sadness. he didn't / doesn't deserve it, despite what you hear i see many ppl taking sick pleasure in watching the trainwreck, schadenfreuding while his wife's choices and prison time cleaves a gash in the family overanalyzing every possible detail that gets revealed with each new story if you've ever been in a deeply difficult personal situation, or had a loved one who has, please just take a beat to empathize with their situation on some level will probably delete this but just had to cathartically put this out in the world
