Unraveling the Controversy Surrounding 'The Blind Side' and Michael Oher's Legal Battle
Michael Oher, the inspiration behind "The Blind Side," has filed a legal petition claiming that he was put under a legal conservatorship without his informed consent by the Tuohy family, who were portrayed in the film. Oher alleges that the conservatorship gave the Tuohys "total control" over his ability to negotiate contracts and claims that they profited from the movie while he received no compensation. The Tuohys dispute Oher's claims and state that they did not make money from the film. Oher is seeking an end to the conservatorship and compensation for the alleged profits made by the Tuohys.
