The whole debacle started when former NFL player Oher started a shocking lawsuit related to the profits from “The Blind Side” and the truth behind his “adopted child”, leaving fans of the film stunned.
Legal petition obtained by ESPN reads, “Michael’s adoption lie is one in which Joint Conservators Leigh Anne Tuohy and Sean Tuohy have enriched themselves at the expense of their Ward, the undersigned Michael Oher.”
It continued, “Michael Oher discovered this lie to his dismay and shame in February 2023, when he learned that the Conservatorship he had agreed to on the basis of doing so would have made him a member of the Tuohy family given he had no family relationship with the Tuohys.”
The legal filing seeks to end the conservatorship, stop the unauthorized use of the former NFL player’s identity, demand an accurate financial accounting of the income made by the Tuohys using the Oher name, distribute equitable profits and seek compensation for damages.
