The family featured in the Hollywood blockbuster “The Blind Side” fired back Monday at ex-NFLer Michael Oher’s claims they swindled him, calling the allegations “insulting&#…
Oher, 37, filed a lawsuit in Shelby County, Tenn., court Monday saying he only recently learned he wasn’t officially adopted by Sean and Leigh Anne Tuohy and that he was instead duped into a conservatorship, which allowed the family to rake in millions of dollars in royalties from the movie about his life.Tuohy said the conservatorship was drawn up to ensure that Oher was eligible to play football at the University of Mississippi.
“We contacted lawyers who had told us that we couldn’t adopt over the age of 18; the only thing we could do was to have a conservatorship. We were so concerned it was on the up-and-up that we made sure the biological mother came to court.”Oher claims he was duped into a conservatorship, which allowed the family to rake in millions of dollars in royalties from the movie about his life.
“I will say it’s upsetting that people would think I would want to make money off any of my children,” he said. Tuohy’s son, Sean Tuohy Jr., also told his side of the story in an interview with Barstool Radio on Monday.Ex-NFLer Michael Oher of ‘The Blind Side’ makes statement on his bombshell lawsuit against Tuohy family
But Tuohy Jr. disputed the idea that Oher just learned about the conservatorship in February of 2023.“I went through my family group texts today to see what had been said. There were things in like 2020 or 2021 that said, ‘If you guys give me this much, then I won’t go public with things.’
