Amanda Seyfried can’t believe the latest development in Elizabeth Holmes‘ life.
The disgraced Theranos founder, who is three years into an 11-year prison sentence for defrauding investors with her failed blood-testing start-up, is scheduled to be transferred to a halfway house next year, according to a letter sent to victims of her crime, obtained by The New York Times. And the actress who played her in The Dropout had a one-word response to the news.
Indeed, under Good Morning America anchor Rebecca Jarvis‘ Sept. 23 Instagram post sharing Holmes’ update, Seyfried commented, “Woah!!!!”
Holmes is being moved from F.P.C. Bryan, a minimum-security federal prison approximately 100 miles northeast of Austin, Texas, to Austin Transitional Center on Aug. 23, 2027, according to the letter.
E! News has reached out to F.P.C. Bryan, Austin Transitional Center and Holmes’ attorney for comment and has not yet heard back.
Bureau of Prisons spokesperson Scott Taylor told NBC News his department could not provide information on Holmes’ confinement, including release plans, citing safety, security and a Bureau of Prisons policy.
