"Michael Oher from 'The Blind Side' Claims Adoption by Tuohy Family Was False and Alleges Financial Exclusion from Movie Proceeds. Oher Reveals he was Placed under Conservatorship Instead of Adoption."

Michael Oher, the individual whose life inspired the popular 2009 film "The Blind Side," has come forward with a significant claim. He asserts that a pivotal aspect of his narrative depicted in the movie - his adoption by an affluent family - is untrue. Rather than being adopted, Oher contends that the Tuohy family established a conservatorship arrangement, utilizing his name, image, and identity for financial gain.



At 37 years old, Oher recently submitted a petition in the probate court of Shelby County, Tennessee, seeking the dissolution of the conservatorship. In legal terms, a conservatorship involves the appointment of one party to manage the financial and personal matters of another.


Additionally, Oher is pursuing several actions. He is demanding a full account of his assets, a mandatory responsibility within the framework of the conservatorship. Oher also seeks rightful compensation, including any owed payments over the years, alongside accrued interest. He intends for the Tuohys to cover his legal fees and punitive damages. Furthermore, Oher is requesting that the Tuohys face repercussions for their alleged violation of the conservatorship terms.
