Absolutely does.

But what I’m still confused about is why would this family take him in when he was nothing, include him in their privileged life, get him the best academic/athletic training he could have ever hoped to get, got him to Ole Miss and eventually the Ravens where he became a multi millionaire with first round money

Only to screw him over about royalties from a movie.

None of that seems a little odd?

That is correct. He got busted around the same time with an amount of drugs that would have crackers like us doing life but he shrugged that off quickly

He has 4 kids and probably an entitled wife. He is probably running out of money for being out of work. Time to go find a job, but does not want to work

And that is somehow his “non adoptive” family’s problem now? After handing him every tool he could ever need for success?


Just seems like there’s a lot more to this story that isn’t being told.

If it's true that he received zero money from the movie, and he had zero input, why in the world is he just now saying something.

This seems like something he would have been shouting from the mountaintops when the movie first came out in 2008.

If they lied to him and tricked a minor into signing legal paperwork so they could profit off of him YES it's their problem now.

You're slower than the fake Oher in the movie.

should have sued them for making him look like a retard. At one point in the movie he stops playing football mid play to point to a balloon in the sky


There's a reason Michael Oher always hated the film.

Hugh Freeze should sue them, too for making him look like an incompetent dumbass as well. He's a scumbag, yes, but he also one of the bets coaches in major college football and has been for years.

Nah, just don’t see how none of this was figured out until 20 years later.

But hey, I guess we gotta hold everyone’s hands now, because god forbid people learn from mistakes

Isn’t it also possible this was explained to him at 18 and he’s now saying “They tricked me” in order to get more money from a family who’s already given him an entirely different life

Huh?

If what is alleged is true, he seems to be learning about his mistake, which is why he is going to court.

It took him 20 years to figure out he received no money from a movie about him?

This is what we’re supposed to believe.

Right

Offering alternative explanations is not denial.

We’re only hearing his side at the moment.
