Elizabeth Holmes Says The Dropout Was ‘Difficult’ to Watch

Stanford’s most notorious Elizabeth is not into the work of a Yale Elizabeth. Elizabeth Holmes found Elizabeth Meriwether’s Hulu show The Dropout “difficult” to watch, she said in a People interview (mind you, while still in prison). Well, yeah. The show depicts her both defrauding investors and dancing sensually to Lil Wayne. Just don’t tell Amanda Seyfried, who played Holmes and was clearly very wildly obsessed with Holmes both during and after her time in the role.

Holmes should probably get used to watching “difficult” things about her, because her life has continued to be incredibly fertile ground for TV shows with deranged details. She reveals, for example, that she is still working on patents for new inventions, saying, “I remain completely committed to my dream of making affordable health-care solutions available to everyone.” (This woman’s previous “technology” venture landed her an 11-year jail sentence for fraud.)

There are also multitudinous details of her life with her current husband and two children that will make future Hulu subscribers gasp. He proposed with a silver snake ring that he bought at Taylor Swift’s Reputation Tour (too on the nose?), for example. She got the prison to build multiple lactation rooms. She is not allowed conjugal visits but was allowed to participate in the photo shoot for this story, and she used that opportunity to wear a lumpy brown sweater. She is also currently teaching a French class to fellow inmates, and one of those fellow inmates, who goes unmentioned, is Jen Shah. We hope she’s a pupil, so they can start Real Housewives of Paris when they get out.
