- The Tuohy family patriarch has issued a public response after former NFL star Michael Oher, whose inspiring life story was the subject of the 2009 film "The Blind Side," claimed the Tuohys never adopted him and have been profiting off him for years. abc7ne.ws/3QJeeX1

I always had a feeling this would happen.
Oher happens to announce lawsuit right when he dropped his new book. Coincidence?? I think not.
Oher got deceived into signing a conservatorship unknowingly when he was young. They made him believe it was about adoption. It enabled the Tuohy to use his story, image and likeness in all sorts of things for profit, not just the movie.
They didn't want him to find out else they would have told him. He found out and is most lightly pissed that they deceived him & lied to him.
@@OJ90-in Oher’s first book, he directly mentions the Conservatorship and Oher seems to say the opposite of what Oher is saying now. “In 2011, when Michael Oher published his first memoir, ‘I Beat the Odds,’ he stated directly that the Tuohys secured a conservatorship when he was a senior in high school. He wrote that Sean and Leigh Anne Tuohy insisted that he maintain a relationship with his biological mother and 11 siblings. Oher wrote that his mother participated in the procedures necessary for the Tuohys to become conservators,”
The whole thing is a mess and it’s hard to know what’s true, I just find the fact that Oher directly mentioned in his own book that he knew about Conservatorship before and now claims he didn’t know about it suspicious, and Oher now releases a second book at the same time he announces a lawsuit, also suspicious.
@@factsoveremotions6035 I think he did some digging and found out some things. He prolly didnt have full knowledge on what exactly a conservatorship is, and the full extent of how it can be used.
@@OJ90- could be true. Guess we’ll find out. Hard to tell at this point, but I know people lie routinely and many CEO’s/Politicians tend to be Psychopaths as they don’t mind stepping on people for their own benefit.
@@OJ90- I think it's dumb to side with anyone in a lawsuit that is so early that discovery hasn't even begun. I know waiting sucks but that's what people need to do.
just look at the pic in the thumbnail. They knew he was going pro before they even offered him to stay in their house. They had almost all of their bases covered. Except one.
bs
@@NoNo-ng9sl exactly the idiot that said they knew he was going pro obviously has never played but Madden on his couch
@@adarrinsmith7491it’s not bs he was already a star player by the time they took him under his care…
@@CN-ke8te what damn planet you been on the damn boy was in Highschool star in Highschool go sit down
He was NOTHING when they took him in. He had POTENTIAL which they helped him to develop.
So he blew all of his NFL earnings and is trying to sponge money any way he can, got it.
He still has his trust fund that THEY set up..
Yea yea yea! The Tuohys are devils and you defending them, just shows your true colors.
Headline: Sean Tuohy responds.
Story: Sean Tuohy has not responded.
And yet both Sean Tuohy, his lawyer and his biological son SJ did in FACT respond!
I picked up on that, too. The statement they released is the response but this news channel needs to get on the same page
When the numbers come out we’ll all know what happened.
The family already has the proof. The media is ignoring it for the most part. Haters are going to hate.
Well, I hope Sandra Bullock is aware of this, even if after the fact.
Why? Has nothing to do with her. Mike is doing a cash grab. He's trash.
Why the fuck wasn't Mike at the oscars?
He was playing football for a super bowl team.
Even when that movie came out. It was reported that some of that movie was fabricated from family, friends and teammates that knew him best. From reports. But, thats wrong of that family to get money and and still get a percentage of the money from that movie and not Michael Oher. Smh.
Scott Adams!
Yes. They are getting a hard lesson.
This is a bit more complex than some whites who have a particular feeling & perception about black ppl.
The Tuohy's made Michael sign a conservatorship unknowingly, they had him believe it was about adoption. So they deceived him. The conservatorship enabled them to use his story image & likeness in all sorts of things for monetary gain, not just the movie. Even the 2 biological children gets royalties while Michael gets zilch for his own story, image & likeness.
They didn't want him to find out about all that else they would have told him. Well he found out and he is pissed.
Regardless of what they did for him, & Regardless of the racial biases some folks have, the fact is they lied to him & deceived him for monetary gain.
Anybody who has been deceived and betrayed by their own family for money will be pissed period.
So your Scott Adam's reference doesn't even make sense or have any relations to the underlying issue.
@@OJ90-unknowningly??? They had court proceedings before it's approval. Besides, in his 2011 he said they had conservatorship.
@@OJ90- You have to stop talking out your rear. Even in Michael's first book years after the movie he clearly states he signed a conservatorship! And the family never used the conservatorship in the manner you are saying! With regards to the royalties... ask yourself, why then isn't Michael suing the movie studio for making the movie and not getting royalties? I'll tell you why and Michael even says so himself... HE HIMSELF signed an agreement with the movie studio to NOT receive royalties!!! LEARN THE FACTS!
Has Don King or Suge Knight been sued yet?
That's like saying so & so didn't get charge for stealing so u shouldn't because u got caught.
They got sued all of the time
Jussie smollett, carlee Russell, michael oher.
Casey Anthony
But their is actually paper trail here, so your references don't make sense.
The Tuohy's made Michael sign a conservatorship unknowingly when he was naive & young, they made him believe it was about adoption. So they deceived him.
Conservatorship is meant for ppl who are unwell and incapable of taking care of themselves so why put him on a conservatorship 🤔
Because it enabled them to use his story, image & likeness in all sorts of things for profit.
Why didn't they disclose this to Michael? Well he found out and is pissed. Even the 2 children of the Tuohy's get royalties as said by one of the kid himself. Yet Michael gets zilch from his own story, image & likeness.
What type of BS is that? Anybody would be pissed when the ppl u trust betrays & deceived u for monetary gain period.
@@lifts586 naw hers wasn’t a hoax .
@@OJ90- first of all they didn’t make him sign anything unknowingly, he was in court with his mom when they signed the conservatorship because they needed her permission so that’s false. Second, the reason they told him to sign a conservator was because he he needed to be part of their family to be eligible to play football at the university of Ole Miss with the Tuohy family because they were boosters to the university and they couldn’t legally adopt him because he was already 18. They didn’t try and swindle the kid of money they were trying to help him out which they did. Just look it up, Michael is trying to strong arm them into paying him millions of dollars because he thinks they made millions off the movie which is also false, they did receive some payment about the movie but it was split between the entire family including michael because the movie was about the family not just michael. And he’s currently on tour trying to sell his new book. It’s all a hoax and a publicity stunt and he should be disgusted with himself.
@@jramirez2068 Aint a conservatorship for ppl incapable of taking care of themselves? Why specifically put him on that when he was a capable functioning human 🤔?
This doesn't seem to be a story of a family taking in a kid just out of the goodness of their heart, it seems it was more a story of an Ole Miss booster taking in a top recruit for his senior year to get him to Ole Miss. I ask myself if they would have taken him in if he had 0 athletic talent and I honestly don't think they would have.
And yet the decision to which school Michael was going to join was HIS OWN!!! The rest of your comment is pure speculation!
Lies again? UEFA SW MLS NFL TUSHY
I never saw the movie- still won't. Idk if this is a case of he fell on hard times or they got the upper hand and made a better deal for themselves off of his circumstances.
They were rich already. Mike is doing a cash grab.
@savvyb54 How's it "theirs" ge got paid shittt for his likeness, meanwhile they've made more than 100,000 based on "Conservatship" because they own his likeness and therefore can profit off of it.
@@movementpolitics9661 They don't need 100k. That's probably what the front door of their house costs. He would have been paid more as a player. He's trying to get 15 million out of them.
Ungrateful
Wait! Time out,Time out! You mean to tell me that a family made money off their athlete son? I have never heard of that before. Oh wait. I have. It was, EVERYBODY!!! Shut up and report on some real news. Like, Maui.
It’s not about that! It goes a lot deeper! They “adopted” an Africa American teenager who they knew had no where to go and knew they could make money off him. What they did was buy someone out and use them to make more money. It’s straight up disgusting!
@@13marilynlvr High school football, college football, NFL, and movie. Yet, not a single word. Hundreds of pictures with everyone hugging and smiling. Still no complaint. Yet, all of a sudden. His adopted family is evil. Let’s look at facts. White family is already rich. So why would they need this young man? 1 in 11 H.S. football players go to the NCAA and only 1.6% of NCAA players go on to play in NFL. Sounds like a pretty bad financial plan. The sad reality is that moving forward young men from broken homes and communities (Thanks to DNC) due to this story will not be adopted and receive a second chance at life. Sad.
The Tuohys were loaded way before they met Oher.
exactly
@13marilynlvr since I don't know any details. I won't defend the family. But it's silly to say the KNEW he would be an NFL player. It's 99% failure rate. What makes anyone think they knew he'd make it to the league, especially at 16?
Does that mean they couldn't have maneuvered differently after the fact? Or they didn't do some shady things with the book and movie? They could have. But it's a STRETCH to say anyone knows what's a guarantee. He got multiple D1 offers. The fact Michael was a first round pick is a miracle in itself. But no one can know what happens in college or if an injury cuts you short. It's football. Arguably the hardest sport to go pro at.
They lied and claimed they adopted him. That's inexcusable. A rich guy in Florida adopted his girlfriend, they didn't adopt him and that's reprehensible.
Because you can't say you adopted someone as a family member unless you have the actual legal papers that says it's so? I'll remind you that Michael was 3 months away from the age of 18 when they filed the paperwork. The only way to get Michael life insurance, an address to use for his driver's license and to get into Ole Miss was a conservatorship... You need to learn the facts.
Says right there on this clip that she was applying for legal guardianship. Not adoption but it establishes the legal family connection.
His Mom was included in the process of setting up the Conservancy. They could not legally adopt him. He made tens of millions playing football. Mr. Touhy was worth hundreds of millions b4 they ever met or took him in.
In the movie and book it never said they adopted him. I have 2 kids that I have adopted and they call me mom BUT it is not a legal adopted.
@@thinkwhatwehavetolose.6414an adult can be legally adopted in Tennessee. They didn't need his mom's permission.
A white family did the same thing in my hometown. The kid made it to the NFL and the family was treated like saints. I don’t think he has anything to do with them now.
Lies
@@eklipse19241 why would I lie? I’m usually on team white.
@@giftedgreen2152All you do is lie. First you say you're from East Europe and then England 😂
@@Sly-hc6im I'm from New England.
Scott Adams statement rings true. No reason to waste time and resources on certain people who will turn on you.
So Mike is just making this up right???
I don't think so
Pay up shysters

Yeah obvious move michael, go for easy money. Shame on this black kid.
How much money are the Touhys making from his nfl salary?!??
NOT A DIME!
