Michael Oher has received over $138,000 in ‘The Blind Side’ proceeds from Tuohy family, court documents show

Court documents in Tennessee show that Michael Oher, the inspiration for 'The Blind Side,' was paid over $138,000 by the Tuohy family in proceeds from the 2009 film. Oher alleged in a petition in August that he discovered in February he was never legally adopted by Sean and Leigh Anne Tuohy and was tricked into entering a conservatorship after his 18th birthday.

Singer added that the family has been 'upfront' about how and why the 2004 conservatorship was established and that they 'will never oppose it in any way' if Oher chooses to terminate it. Oher was drafted in the first round of the 2009 NFL Draft by the Baltimore Ravens, where he would play five seasons and win one Super Bowl. After a brief stint with the Tennessee Titans, he signed with the Carolina Panthers, but was eventually released in 2017.
