Ex-NFLer Michael Oher: ‘Blind Side’ family lied about adopting me

The ex-NFLer and subject of the movie “The Blind Side” claims Sean and Leigh Anne Tuohy never officially adopted him, according to a new report.

I suspect people heard the story already but didn't see it here

Here is what I find funny. Why are people trolling Sandra Bullock like she had anything to do with it? She's a friggin actress! This reminds of (opposite way, but still) when Fred Armison was playing Mayor Patterson on SNL and called the people of Peekskill NY rock eaters and the people in Peekskill got made at Mayor Patterson.

More info. Sad it comes to this over money regardless of who is at fault

‘Blind Side’ Tuohy family accuses ex-NFLer Michael Oher of $15M ‘shakedown’ before bombshell court filing

Michael Oher, the ex-NFL star whose story inspired the Oscar-nominated film “The Blind Side,” allegedly tried to get the family who took him in to fork over $15 million or else he would…

The family is apparently worth $213M.

This is millionaires fighting over money, so I couldn't care less at this point.

You have to believe Oher has been getting some really bad advice in the current culture. Where would he have been without this family helping him get into college and the NFL. Might have ended up dead in prison like his birth father or a crackhead like his birth mother.

A dad and his son were walking down the street when the dad noticed two dogs getting their hump on.

The dad saw this and walked faster in hopes the son wouldn't see the dogs.

A block away the kid asked his dad what was going on with those two dogs.

Dad told his son, I think one had a hurt leg so the other is helping get home.

Kid looks up at dad and says "that's like the real world, you help someone and they fuck you in the ass".

This is the issue he's always had with the movie. That take isn't accurate.

What's not accurate?

 

[Stakesarehigh]

What's not accurate?

he was already a 5 star prospect before he was taken in by them

 

[Dr. Strangelove]

I never even watched the movie. I find these "feel good, help the poor kid" stories are just lame, boring and lazy moviemaking to sucker the idiots and make money.
Now it turns into this stupidity and it's all about greed.

Actors talk all the time about how they regret taking certain roles because people think they really are the characters and their lives change forever. Not surprised about Bullock.

As for the family here, it does sound sleazy to me as more details emerge

But what changes from that guys statement?

But what changes from that guys statement?

he was already getting a full college ride before their involvement. Seems rather clear actually.

Was getting or could get? I truly don’t know but Oher comes out looking like a moron then either way.

 

[R.J. MacReady]

They guy has been dropped by a number of law firms ...that tells you he had nothing they could make money on.
He seems to have found a lower tier law firm that knows the case is a loser but probably needs to exposure.

 

[ducky]

If you read between the lines of this lawsuit and rebuttal, Oher was getting used by the Tohey family then.....and he is getting used by a bunch of greedy lawyers now.

 

[rmilia1]

Best guess is Oher blew through his money and is now looking for a way to get paid
