Former NFL player Michael Oher, and the inspiration of 'The Blind Side,' wrote about his conservatorship in his 2011 memoir, 'I Beat The Odds: From Homeless, To The Blindside.'
After"The Blind Side" became a hit on bookshelves and in theaters, former NFL playerRandall Fishman, a lawyer for the Tuohy family, said Wednesday that Oher acknowledged his conservatorship with the family and that Other knew he had not been adopted despite filing a petition inIn the 2011 book, Oher wrote he"became a legal member of the Tuohy family.""There was one major event that happened right after I graduated high school: I became a legal member of the Tuohy family.
Oher also wrote that his biological mother was brought in for the conservatorship hearing and that she"supported the decision to have the Tuohys listed as my next of kin and legal conservators." Baltimore Ravens offensive tackle Michael Oher sits on the beach during the first half of an NFL football game against the Buffalo Bills in Baltimore, Sunday, Oct. 24, 2010."The lie of Michael's adoption is one upon which Co-Conservators Leigh Anne Tuohy and Sean Tuohy have enriched themselves at the expense of their Ward, the undersigned Michael Oher," the document read.
Oher stayed with classmates and at the home of family friends, and"occasionally" with the Tuohy’s, the document alleged. In 2004, the family then invited him to live with them. "At no point did the Tuohy’s inform Michael that they would have ultimate control of all his contracts, and as a result Michael did not understand that if the Conservatorship was granted, he was signing away his right to contract for himself. Michael was falsely advised by the Tuohy’s that because he was over the age of eighteen, that the legal action to adopt Michael would have to be called a ‘conservatorship’ but it was, for all intents and purposes, an adoption.
