Blind Side Star Michael Oher Gets Finessed By White Parents Who Adopted Him

Retired NFL star Michael Oher’s life was made into the the 2009 movie “The Blind Side.” In the movie, Michael was adopted by a wealthy, white family who saved his life.

Now Michael is claiming that the family, Sean and Leigh Anne Tuohy, was really just scamming him – to take advantage of him.

According to reports reaching us at Dreddsworld, Michael is now petitioning a Tennessee court claiming that the central element of the story – that he was adopted – was a lie concocted by the family to enrich itself at his expense.

The 14-page petition, Michael claims that the Tuohy’s took him into their home as a high school student, but they never adopted him.

Instead, less than three months after Michael turned 18 in 2004, the couple tricked him into signing a document making them his “conservators,” which gave them legal authority to make business deals in his name – FOREVER.

Then, Michael claims that the Tuohy;s sold the rights to his life for a movie, and kept all the money for themselves, Media Take Out has learned.

While the deal allowed the Tuohys to profit from the film, the couple made a separate 2007 contract for Michael to “give away” to 20th Century Fox studios the life rights to his story “without any payment whatsoever.”
