Yesterday, Blind Side subject Michael Oher alleged the Tuohy family of never adopting him and, instead, locking him into conservatorship and tricking him into signing rights away
According to the Tuohy’s lawyer, Marty Singer, Oher “threatened” to “plant a negative story” in the press unless they paid him $15 million. Singer went on to describe Oher’s petition as a “cynical attempt to drum up attention” for his book tour, which is a dicey and complicated way of. Nevertheless, Singer contends the Tuohys “opened their home to Mr. Oher, offered him structure, support and, most of all, unconditional love.”Oher sees things differently.
they have “given Mr. Oher an equal cut of every penny received” from the movie. They also say that, yes, it was a conservatorship, but the Tuohys would “never oppose” him leaving. Anyway, now they’re going to court over it. Singer’s statement ends with the Tuohys reaffirming their love for Oher, stating that they are “heartbroken” and “desperately hope” Oher comes to regret this. Either way, they’re willing to “stand up to this shakedown and defeat this offensive lawsuit.” The lawsuit asks that Oher
receive “his fair share of profits,” a full accounting of the money, and “unspecified compensatory and punitive damages.” He also wants to end the conservatorship, which the Tuohys say they’re fine with, and to bar them from using his name and likeness.
