\u201cI do everything I say\u2014word for word. I am never a minute late. I show no excitement,\u201d wrote Elizabeth Holmes.\u00a0The line is part of an extensive handwritten note the former Theranos CEO wrote to herself when she was leading the company.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Holmes\u00a0took the stand in 2021 during the criminal fraud trial against her, and testified\u00a0in court her former boyfriend and business partner Ramesh \u201cSunny\u201d Balwani emotionally and sexually abused her. Part of the evidence her lawyers submitted, multiple outlets reported, included a note drawn up by Holmes detailing her schedule for the day, which began before sunrise. It appears to have been written on stationery for Raffles, a Singapore-based hotel.<\/p>\n
Balwani\u2019s lawyer Jeffrey Coopersmith denied Holmes\u2019 allegations of abuse, multiple outlets reported. Coopersmith did not return Fortune\u2019s<\/em> request in 2021 for comment after Holmes\u2019 testimony.<\/p>\n In 2022, a jury ultimately convicted Holmes on four counts of wire fraud and conspiracy, and she is currently serving a roughly decade-long sentence in prison. In 2025, she reportedly asked President Donald Trump for clemency to shorten her prison stay. <\/p>\n A new documentary is bringing renewed attention to Holmes. You Can See Everything<\/em>, directed by comedian and Canadian filmmaker Nathan Fielder and American filmmaker Lance Oppenheim, premiered as a surprise screening at the Telluride Film Festival over Labor Day weekend and will be released in theaters by A24 on Oct. 16. <\/p>\n Filmed over about a month before Holmes reported to prison in 2023 at a beachside home in Del Mar, Calif., and continuing over three years, the nearly three-hour film follows the former Theranos CEO as she granted the crew extensive access in an apparent effort to clear her name. In it, Holmes maintains she did nothing wrong. <\/p>\n In some scenes, she and her partner, Billy Evans\u2014a California hotel heir with whom she has two children\u2014are reportedly shown making calls to prospective partners about launching a \u201cTheranos 2.0\u201d venture that Evans said he intended to build while Holmes served her sentence. Fielder has reportedly said Evans tried to exert significant control over the filming near the end\u2014a dynamic some reviewers have compared to Holmes\u2019s account of Balwani\u2019s control over her.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n The schedule begins with a 4:00 a.m. wake up time to \u201crise & thank God\u201d and ends with her lunch and dinner menus, which included broccoli, quinoa and a green drink. But what may be most notable about the schedule is what\u2019s written below it.<\/p>\n \u201cALL ABOUT BUSINESS.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cI am not impulsive.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cI do not react.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cI am always proactive.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cI know the outcome of every encounter.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cI do not hesitate.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cI speak rarely. When I do\u2014CRISP and CONCISE. I call bullshit immediately. My hands are always in my pockets or gesturing,\u201d the last few lines of the note read.\u00a0<\/p>\n Elizabeth Holmes’s daily schedule<\/p>\n\n
