The Tuohys' Payment to Michael Oher for 'The Blind Side' Revealed

Court documents reveal that Sean and Leigh Anne Tuohy paid former NFL star Michael Oher approximately $138,000 in proceeds for the book and film adaptation of "The Blind Side," which was based on Oher's life story. The payments were made between 2007 and 2023, with the agreement that the proceeds would be split five ways. Oher had previously accused the Tuohys of profiting off his story without his consent. The conservatorship agreement, which Oher claimed was signed under false pretenses, was terminated earlier this year. The Tuohys deny any wrongdoing and state that they supported Oher financially during his high school and college years.
