Elizabeth Holmes isnt that impressed by Hollywoods portrayal of her.

Theyre not playing me, Holmes told the New York Times for a profile published Sunday. Theyre playing a character I created.

The disgraced Theranos founder, who was recently sentenced to more than 11 years in prison for fraud, was portrayed by Amanda Seyfried in The Dropout, a Hulu limited series about her Silicon Valley rise and downfall.

Holmes was found guilty in 2022 of defrauding investors in her blood-testing startup out of hundreds of millions. The company falsely claimed its Edison machines could perform hundreds of tests to detect diseases within minutes of a simple pin-prick.

Seyfrieds portrayal of Holmes and the performative voice she used to be taken seriously earned her an Emmy Award and a Golden Globe . It was so acclaimed that Jennifer Lawrence , who was set to star as Holmes in a separate film, exited that project .

Holmes suggested that Seyfried did well but only in mimicking a fraudulent persona.
