‘The Blind Side”s Tuohy family claim Michael Oher was demanding millions from them

The Blind Side’s Touchy family have shared texts from Michael Oher which they are claiming he was demanding millions from them.NFL star Oher and his adopted family rose to fame following the release of the 2009 film, The Blind Side starring Sandra Bullock and Tim McGraw. The film was based on Oher’s life and how he rose to fame as a football star with the help of the Tuohy family, who took him in when he was homeless.Oher claims he was under the impression that he had been adopted by the family, but its since been revealed that it was a conservatorship agreement and not an adoptive one.The agreement, signed by Oher when he was 18-years-old, allowed the Tuohy family to control his finances.In a lawsuit filed earlier this year, Oher accused the Tuohys of “tricking him” to signing the documentation and alleged that they they used the movie as a way of making millions from him.Lawyers for the family have described the claims as “hurtful and absurd”, claiming that it was “transparently ridiculous” that they had tried to profit off him.

'The Blind Side' Couple Leigh Anne and Sean Tuohy Spotted Amid Michael Oher Lawsuit Drama
Leigh Anne and Sean Tuohy were seen strolling around their neighborhood in Florida over the weekend, marking the first time they've been seen in public since Michael Oher filled his high-profile lawsuit against his former adoptive parents.In photos obtained and published by The Daily Mail, the Tuohys were spotted taking a walk in the Santa Rosa Beach area of Florida.Leigh Anne wore a white t-shirt and a pink tennis skirt along with white sneakers, and a hot pink fanny pack, while rocking white earbuds.Meanwhile, Sean walked alongside her in dark blue shorts and a light blue t-shirt, as they strolled and chatted with a unknown third person.The outing comes almost a week after Michael Oher — the former NFL star who inspired the Oscar-nominated film — filed legal documents in Tennessee court requesting it terminate a conservatorship after alleging the Tuohys lied about adopting him and tricked him into making them his conservators shortly after he turned 18.Oher, whose story was first documented in Michael Lewis' 2006 bestselling book of the same name, claimed the Tuohys made millions off his name while he never received a dime, after the film — starring Sandra Bullock, Quinton Aaron, Jae Head, Tim McGraw, Lily Collins and Kathy Bates — earned more than $300 million at the box office. The book and film are centered around the Tuohy family taking in Oher and helping transform his life on and off the field.The Tuohys have since responded to the accusations, denying Oher's claims and calling them «insulting.»It's been reported that the Tuohy family received 2.5 percent of the film's profits — the film grossed approximately $309.2 million — but that's not accurate.
