Michael Oher alleges his adoption was a lie, family took all the film proceeds

quote:
The 14-page petition, filed in Shelby County, Tennessee, probate court, alleges that Sean and Leigh Anne Tuohy, who took Oher into their home as a high school student, never adopted him. Instead, less than three months after Oher turned 18 in 2004, the petition says, the couple tricked him into signing a document making them his conservators, which gave them legal authority to make business deals in his name.
The petition further alleges that the Tuohys used their power as conservators to strike the deal that paid them and their two birth children millions of dollars in royalties from an Oscar-winning film that earned more than $300 million, while Oher got nothing for a story "that would not have existed without him." In the years since, the Tuohys have continued calling the 37-year-old Oher their adopted son and have used that assertion to promote their foundation as well as Leigh Anne Tuohy's work as an author and motivational speaker.

on 8/14/23 at 11:42 am to BroskiWell, that story was heart-warming while it lasted. Sad to see it turn out this way.

on 8/14/23 at 11:43 am to BroskiI always thought that family really liked to congratulate themselves over Oher’s success.

My thinking as well. Who knows if it's true, but it did feel kinda weird as it was happening in real time.

on 8/14/23 at 11:47 am to BroskiJust finished reading the article on ESPN.
I’m sure he would have turned out just fine without their guidance.
Never thought I’d see the Brittany Spear’s conservator argument in football though

on 8/14/23 at 11:48 am to BroskiThey done him dirty
Lied to him about and being adopted and being an actual family member
And gave zero $$$ from the movie that was about HIM
There’s a special place in hell for those people

The timing is a bit odd. There is no way he just discovered that he didn't make any money from the movie.

Was probably busy focusing on his football career and now has had time to realize how much money he missed out on
