It is interesting that this article states: " 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"
While a yahoo article states: " It was after moving in with the Tuohys at age 16 that Oher found his footing in the classroom and began to unlock his NFL potential on the football field."

I think he’s full of it and not appreciative of those who helped him….
…also he’s trying to sell a book
Oher is just trying to sell a book. His press agent is just making this up to get into the news. The Tuohys and Oher have not seen each other in a decade. We should not care about this at all. Hes just another NFL millionaire who has spent all the money before he turns 40. This is why reparations would do no good at all. After they get the money they spend it and five years later they are just as poor as ever, maybe more so. And of course they will demand more at that point.
He wrote in his first book that he was under conservatorship, so he knew he was.
They didn’t make $300 million from the rights of the movie. They made about $1.5 million.

They split that evenly with everybody.
$300 million? Box Office Mojo lists the entire worldwide box office for the movie as $309,208,309. Did they get that entire amount and leave nothing for the naive waifs in the studio? Did they take all of the actors', crew's and theater owners' earnings too? Did they snag Oher's entire NFL earnings of $34.5 million (as estimated by Spotrac?
Another article here said that the Tuohy family probably got around $200,000 for the story. Maintaing any conservator after adulthood, especially after he entered the NFL is more than a little weird. But did they do anything with it, or did they just suppose it expired and ignored it?
He coulda stayed with his crack Ho Baby Mama and he’d be dead or in jail.. Evil white Devils denied him his Black Culture...
With all this guy’s complaints about the movie, I find it amusing that he doesn’t take issue with the basic premise of the movie — that he was a quasi-retarded oaf.
... he was not properly informed about the paperwork he signed...
Pro Tip #1-Retain your own Lawyer
Life Tip #1 Mike, your life was sh$t before you met the Tuohys
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
Are the Tuohys represented by Steve Farese?
