offensive tackle and Ole Miss standout Michael Oher — the subject of the 2009 movie “The Blind Side” — alleged Sean and Leigh Anne Tuohy lied about adopting him and tricked him into agreeing to a conservatorship, according to a filing in Shelby County, Tenn., probate court.on Monday, said the Tuohys never took legal action to assume custody of Oher while he was a minor.
The petition also claims the Tuohys negotiated a deal with Twentieth Century Fox that secured them and their two birth children $225,000 each, plus 2.5 percent of “defined net proceeds” from “The Blind Side.” The film, which earned Sandra Bullock the Oscar for Best Actress in 2010 for her portrayal of Leigh Anne Tuohy, reportedly grossed more than $300 million.
Oher, 37, petitioned the court to end the conservatorship and seeks an injunction to prohibit the Tuohy’s from using his name, image and likeness, in addition to compensatory and punitive damages. “Since at least August of 2004, Conservators have allowed Michael, specifically, and the public, generally, to believe that conservators adopted Michael and have used that untruth to gain financial advantages for themselves and the foundations which they own or which they exercise control,” Monday’s filing read. “All monies made in said manner should in all conscience and equity be disgorged and paid over to the said ward, Michael Oher.
