🎥💔 Shockwave: ‘Blind Side’ Star Claims Deception Over Family Promise
Michael Oher, the central figure of the 2009 blockbuster movie, dropped a startling revelation in court. He claims that the family, which was portrayed as his saving grace, might not have had his best interests at heart. At 18, they allegedly had him sign documents relinquishing his decision-making rights, possibly capitalizing on his life story for profit. 📜😱
This former N.F.L. standout, whose rags-to-riches football journey was dramatized in “The Blind Side,” approached a Tennessee court this Monday. He wants to sever his ties with the Tuohy family. His shocking claim? He was never actually adopted and was potentially tricked into signing rights away, allowing the family to profit immensely from his success story. 💰
Oher, now 37, is pushing to terminate the legal constraints placed on him when he was just 18. He’s also aiming to claim the revenue he believes he’s owed from the film’s earnings and wants to prevent Leigh Anne Tuohy and Sean Tuohy from profiting off his name and image any longer. 🚫📸
The court documents, filed in Shelby County, Tennessee, detail a troubling story. When Oher believed he was being welcomed into their family, the Tuohys allegedly had him sign over his legal capacity to enter into contracts. Further, he might have unknowingly signed off the rights to his life story to 20th Century Fox in 2007. 😳📝
Oher’s lawyer, J. Gerard Stranch IV, has yet to comment on this shocking revelation.
When it comes to “The Blind Side,” the Hollywood sensation starring Sandra Bullock, Tim McGraw, and Quinton Aaron, the Tuohys allegedly secured a whopping $225,000 plus a percentage of the film’s future earnings for themselves and their biological children, according to the lawsuit. 🎬💵
Despite the film raking in over $300 million globally 🌎💔, Oher claims he hasn’t seen a dime.
The Tuohy family’s response? Delayed. Though in a Monday conversation with The Daily Memphian, Sean Tuohy expressed heartbreak 💔 over the allegations. He seemed baffled at the notion that they would profit off a family member, emphasizing that everyone, including Oher, received an equal cut from the film, approximately $14,000 each.
Sean Tuohy further explained the legal setup was designed to help Oher play for the University of Mississippi, an alma mater for both him and his wife. 🏈🎓
In Tennessee, the legal structure they used essentially shifts decision-making powers from one individual to another. Intriguingly, the 2004 documentation that transitioned these powers to the Tuohys noted that Oher showed no signs of physical or mental disabilities.
The real twist? 🙀 Oher only discovered in February of this year that he was never legally adopted. He was under the impression that the documents he signed were standard adoption paperwork.
Oher, who hung up his football boots in 2017, was the 23rd pick in the 2009 N.F.L. draft, picked by the Baltimore Ravens. Across eight seasons, he showcased his talent and even secured a Super Bowl win with the Ravens in 2013. 🏆🏈
His college football stint from 2005 to 2009 at Mississippi brought him several accolades.
“The Blind Side,” released in 2009 and adapted from Michael Lewis’s 2006 book, depicted Oher’s challenging Memphis upbringing, caring for his drug-addicted mother. The movie showcased Oher’s sports prowess, both in basketball and football, leading to his association with the Tuohys and later, a scholarship.
But Oher has expressed discomfort with the film’s portrayal of him. In 2015, he felt the film painted him less intellectually capable 🧠 than he truly is, impacting how peers in the sport perceived him.
“People judge me because of a movie,” Oher stated. “They don’t recognize my real skillset and how I play. That’s why I feel undervalued, all because of events off the field.” 🏟️💔
So, as viewers, it’s essential to remember that movies don’t always show the whole truth. There’s always another side to the story. 🤙🍍🌺
