The Elizabeth Holmes Controversy: From Fake NBA Injuries to Accusations of Character Creation.
TL;DR Summary
Elizabeth Holmes, the disgraced founder of Theranos, revealed in a recent interview that Amanda Seyfried's portrayal of her in the Hulu miniseries The Dropout is not actually her, but rather a "character" she created. Holmes explained that she created the persona of a deep-voiced, black turtleneck-wearing CEO to be taken seriously in the business world. She also unveiled her new persona, Liz Holmes, who speaks with a soft, unremarkable voice and blends in with other mothers. Holmes was sentenced to more than 11 years in prison for duping investors in the failed startup that promised to revolutionize blood testing.
