Former NFL star Michael Oher has recently accused the Tuohy family of deceiving him over the story at the center of the popular film ‘The Blind Side’. Oher claims that the Tuohys, who were portrayed as adopting him in the movie, actually deceived him into making them his conservators after he turned 18.
According to Oher, the Tuohys signed deals that earned them and their birth children millions of dollars from the film, while completely excluding Oher from any income. The former NFL player alleges that he only discovered the truth about his adoption after retiring from the league, when he decided to examine the conservatorship.
The Tuohy family, however, strongly denies Oher’s allegations. They state that they never intended to profit off him and insist that they treated him like a son. Despite their statement, Oher’s attorney has not responded to their remarks.
In addition to seeking an end to the conservatorship, Oher’s petition also requests that the family be prohibited from using his name and image to promote their work. He is also seeking financial compensation, as he believes that the movie’s portrayal of him affected his NFL career.
It is worth noting that Oher’s petition does not accuse the Tuohys of taking any of his NFL income. Throughout his football career, Oher earned a staggering $34 million.
The controversy surrounding the Tuohy family and Michael Oher’s claims has sparked a heated debate among fans and critics alike. Many are eager to see whether Oher’s allegations hold any truth and what impact this will have on his relationship with the Tuohy family moving forward. Meanwhile, supporters of ‘The Blind Side’ are defending the film and the Tuohys, questioning Oher’s motives behind the accusations.
As the story continues to unravel, it is clear that the legacy of ‘The Blind Side’ and the relationship between Michael Oher and the Tuohy family will remain under scrutiny. Forever Sports Online will continue to follow this story and provide updates as they become available.
