Follow usThe former NFL tackle Michael Oher, known for being the inspiration for the movie “The Blind Side,” filed a petition on Monday in a Tennessee probate court accusing Sean and Leigh Anne Tuohy of lying to him by having him sign papers making them his conservators rather than his adoptive parents.
Oher wants the conservatorship to be terminated and asks for a full accounting of the money earned off the use of his name and story. He also asks to be paid what he is due along with interest.
He accuses the Tuohy family of enriching themselves at his expense by continuing to “falsely and publicly” represent themselves as his adoptive parents “to the date of the filing of this petition.”

“Oher discovered this lie to his chagrin and embarrassment in February of 2023, when he learned that the Conservatorship to which he consented on the basis that doing so would make him a member of the Tuohy family, in fact provided him no familial relationship with the Tuohys,” according to the petition.
