In a 14-page court petition, the former NFL star alleges that Sean and Leigh Anne Tuohy never adopted him, instead tricking him into signing a document that gave them legal authority to make business deals in his name.

    Oher and Tiffany Roy married in 2022 after a 17 year relationship. Legally there shouldn’t be a conservatorship after that date. All his earnings should be returned to him.

      That’d be such a baller move from Oher to sell those rights and then Bullock to reprise the role with a darker bent.

    That movie always smelled bad.

    Everyone go buy his book, if you have the spends to spare: When Your Back’s Against the Wall. Let’s make it a best-seller and impossible for these parasites to slither away from the collective memory.

    He wasn’t receiving royalties on HIS life story? But the Tuohy family was?

    Jesus. Turns out that heart warming movie about the white saviors was actually exploration all along.

      Maybe read the article and see that they cheated him out of the money a literal movie about his life was supposed to make.🤷‍♂️

        I would say he is morally in the right. Legally this is going to be way more difficult. Just because he didn’t receive the same share as everyone else doesn’t mean it’s illegal. He signed that conservatorship, and finding proof of the Tuohys abusing it isn’t going to be easy. And especially without knowing the full details arguing that he is legally in the right (or wrong) is just pure speculation.
