Why would they? He was already almost 18.

I remember he was pretty mad about the film when it came out. I have never watched and I don’t know much about the guys actual life \. Did it make him look bad?

Here's my opinion: Oher is no longer employable and is broke as Hell. So, he called up the usual race-hustlers to try and sue and get some money.

Maybe Tim McGraw's character should have left him in the laundromat eating out of the garbage.

I never saw the movie but I read a comment about there not being anything about him being technically adopted in the film. Is this true? Is it in the book?

He may have a case. If they were the conservators of his estate, and made the decisions that they should’ve been putting all that money back that he was entitled to do a trust fund and investments. But is this the same old typical thing they spirit, and left him nothing I wanna see all the facts of this case

... alleged that the family earned millions from the story.

Some shady lawyer probably coerced him to complain. Because the lawyer wants to earn millions.

Question is, did Oher benefit, or not benefit, from the Tuohy family taking care of him? Oher definitely benefited. And should not complain. The Tuohy family told their story, and a movie was later made. Such is life. Why can't a black man tell his own story, rather than go after a family who helped him? "Oh poor me, whites used me! I want reparations, boo-hoo."

Who was the attorney representing Michael? The state does not simply gift juvenile students to folks.

I think he has a point in that he didn’t share in the profits, when they were using his life story to tell the story.

Wondering if he’s another Colin Kaepernick. He’s 37 years old. The movie was released 14 years ago. Why is this now coming out? He got cut by the Carolina Panthers in 2017 because he couldn’t pass the physical exam. Has he blown whatever money he had, and now going after the family who gave him a roof over his head, claiming they owe him proceeds from the movie? This guy sounds like another ingrate to me.

The Tuohy’s net worth is around $75 million. Yeah, someone is broke and looking for a pay day. He only waited 14 years to complain about the movie.

Two thoughts, no three:

He’s worth 16 million right now. It’s that enough?

He got married a while ago. Maybe New Wife wants a bigger payday when she divorces him in the near future?

I will never speak ill of Sandra Bullock. We both got divorced in 2010 and we both got bangs. There was no going backwards; only Blue Skies Ahead for us both after that horrific year. :)

And in all fairness, HER divorce was MUCH more public than mine, LOL!
