The Tuohys said that they had not intended to adopt Oher.
Oher, 39, said in the filing that the family had said they would adopt him but instead had placed him in a conservatorship and had taken money the movie earned and kept it for themselves.The Tuohys said they are “ready, willing, and able to terminate the conservatorship by consent at any time,” Thursday’s filing said.
Oher had claimed that he did not know about the conservatorship but believed that the Tuohys were planning to adopt him. He also claimed that he only learned in February that he had been placed in a conservatorship and hadn’t actually been adopted.The Tuohy’s said the claim Oher didn’t know about the conservatorship was “demonstratively false,” citing Oher’s 2011 memoir “I Beat The Odds,” where Oher indicates he was aware the Tuohy’s were appointed as conservators.
“Clearly, the Respondents loved the Petitioner and as a result provided him with shelter, food, and clothing and in fact bought him more than one vehicle for his personal use,” the filing said. “In fact, they have always felt that the Petitioner was like a son and have used that on occasion but not in a legal sense.”According to the Tuohy’s they did not have “ultimate control of his contracts” and said they never signed any contract for him when it came to his career.
The production company that financed the movie “The Blind Side” said that its subjects, Michael Oher and members of the Tuohy family, were collectively paid approximately $767,000 delivered through their talent.”
