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. Oher claims he did not receive his fair share of royalties from the film and has demanded $10 million, later raising it to $15 million. Court documents reveal that Oher and the Tuohys were paid the same amount of $138,311, but Oher alleges he was robbed of over $50 million. The legal battle continues as Oher alleged he was never legally adopted by the Tuohys and was tricked into a conservatorship.
