The Tuohy Family's $15m 'Blind Side' Shakedown Allegations

Former NFL star Michael Oher has filed a petition accusing the Tuohy family, who inspired the film The Blind Side, of deceiving him into making them his conservators instead of adopting him. Oher claims that the family profited from the film while excluding him from any income. The Tuohys deny the allegations and state that Oher threatened to go public with the story unless they paid him $15 million. Oher is seeking an end to the conservatorship, compensation, and to stop the family from using his name and image.
