"Tuohy Family Accuses Michael Oher of $15 Million Extortion Attempt"

Sean and Leigh Anne Tuohy, the couple depicted in "The Blind Side," have accused Michael Oher of trying to extort $15 million from them through threatening texts and emails. Oher, a former NFL player, had previously filed a petition alleging that the Tuohys lied about adopting him and exploited him for financial gain. The Tuohys argue that their retelling of their relationship with Oher falls under fair use and is not a commercial use of his name and likeness. The conservatorship between Oher and the Tuohys is set to be terminated, but the financial part of the case remains unresolved.

Michael Oher's Alleged Extortion: Tuohy Family's Shocking Claims

Former football player Michael Oher has demanded millions of dollars from his former conservators, Sean and Leigh Anne Tuohy, in "menacing" text messages. Oher sent multiple messages demanding seven-figure payouts, threatening to expose the Tuohys and suggesting they work with FedEx founder Fred Smith. The Tuohys have objected to Oher's motion for a temporary injunction, providing the text messages as evidence. Oher previously sought to end the conservatorship, which was dissolved in September, but the financial battle remains unresolved.

Tuohy Family Accuses Michael Oher of Extortion in Ongoing Feud

The Tuohy family, known for taking in Michael Oher during his high school years and inspiring the book and film adaptation "The Blind Side," has accused the ex-NFL player of threatening to defame them on social media and TMZ if his money demands were not met.
