Sean Tuohy calls the allegations “insulting.” “We’re devastated,” Tuohy told The Daily Memphian. “It’s upsetting to think we would make money off any of our children. But we’re going to love Michael at 37 just like we loved him at 16.”
FILE - Michael Oher, left, Collins Tuohy, second from left, and Leigh Anne Tuohy, whose lives are portrayed in the Oscar-nominated movie "The Blind Side," speak with Pastor Kerry Shook, right, March 3, 2010 at Woodlands Church's Fellowship Campus in The Woodlands, TX. Michael Oher, the former NFL tackle known for the movie “The Blind Side,” filed a petition Monday, Aug.
Oher, 37, filed the petition Monday, Aug. 14, alleging that when he was 18, the Tuohy family tricked him into signing a document making them conservators and that they made millions off a lie. The petition alleges the Tuohys made deals that made them - and their birth children - millions in royalties from the movie. Oher, on the other hand, got nothing that he says, “would not have existed without him.
“Michael was obviously living with us for a long time, and the NCAA didn’t like that,” Tuohy said. “They said the only way Michael could go to Ole Miss was if he was actually part of the family. I sat Michael down and told him, ‘If you’re planning to go to Ole Miss — or even considering Ole Miss — we think you have to be part of the family. This would do that, legally.’ We contacted lawyers who had told us that we couldn’t adopt over the age of 18.
