Former Baltimore Ravens and Carolina Panthers player Michael Oher has criticized the accuracy of the 2009 movie 'The Blind Side' which is based on his life before he entered the NFL.
Oher was drafted by the Baltimore Ravens in 2009, where he would later win a Super Bowl, before going on to play for the Tennessee Titans and the Carolina Panthers.
Oher was taken in by Sean and Leigh Anne Tuohy, which is the key premise of the movie. However, it emerged on Aug. 14 that Oher had filed a petition in court in Shelby County, Tennessee, alleging that the Tuohy family tricked him into signing paperwork that made them his conservators.
Oher was never actually adopted and he alleges he was not properly informed about the paperwork he signed which gave the family power to do financial deals using his name. It's been alleged in documents that the Tuohy family used their conservator power to strike deals that saw them earn more than $300 million following the movie......
"You have to understand that (‘The Blind Side’) came out in 2009. When I moved in with the (Tuohy) family, I was an All-American football player already.
"I was 18, and I moved in a couple of weeks before senior year of high school. I had been through the journey I’d already traveled, which was a success in its own, coming from where I came from. So, you have to give some credit right there."

Pro Tip #1-Retain your own Lawyer
Life Tip #1 Mike, your life was sh$t before you met the Tuohys
Exactly, why crap on the people who went to a lot of time, trouble and expense to give you a leg up?
Is it wrong to think both sides were greedy…..oher is just mad he spent his money and now wants more…the couple just wanted other to go to ole miss…the movie was just gravy on top
More like Oher’s new wife is mad, she thought she was going to ride the gravy train.
And the Tuohy’s have on their website and said in interviews they adopted him.
Are the Tuohys represented by Steve Farese?
