Michael Oher Claims Tuohy Family Never Adopted Him, Forced Conservatorship

Former NFL star Michael Oher has filed a petition to terminate a conservatorship, alleging that the Tuohy family, who inspired the film "The Blind Side," never actually adopted him and instead tricked him into signing conservatorship papers that stripped away his legal rights. Oher claims that the Tuohys used their power as conservators to negotiate a deal with 20th Century Fox, earning millions of dollars in royalties from the film. He is seeking to end the conservatorship, have the Tuohys barred from using his name and likeness, and receive his fair share of profits, along with compensatory and punitive damages.
