"The Blind Side" author Michael Lewis, whose book based on the life of former NFL playerwas adapted for the film and was nominated for Best Picture at the Oscars, broke his silence on the drama between the subject and the Tuohy family.
"Everybody should be mad at the Hollywood studio system," Lewis told The Washington Post."Michael Oher should join the writers strike. It’s outrageous how Hollywood accounting works, but the money is not in the Tuohys’ pockets." Michael Oher, #73, during the Carolina Panthers press conference for Super Bowl 50 at the San Jose Convention Center in San Jose, California.
The family’s attorney also said the Tuohys and Oher had been estranged for about a decade. Steve Farese said Oher had become"more and more vocal and more and more threatening" over the past decade or so, and this is"devastating for the family." Singer added that the family has been"upfront" about how and why the conservatorship was established and that they"will never oppose it in any way" if Oher chooses to terminate it.The conservatorship paperwork was filed months after Oher turned 18 in May 2004. Oher accused the family of never taking legal action to assume custody of him from the Tennessee Department of Human Services before he turned 18.
