This family did NOT use him for monetary gain like he’s claiming… he’s known about the conservatorship since he signed it as mentioned in his 2011 book he published. The family hasn’t used his name or likeness to profit off him nor made financial decisions for him. They also proved he got an equal cut from the movie in a 5 way split. The betrayal Oher is showing is heartbreaking and quite frankly disgusting.
That argument is old and explained. What part of "didn't know what a conservatorship was don't you it understand?" And what are you talking about? These people went around the country speaking about the Oher situation. You thought they did it for free? No one should be surprised.
If they didn’t use him then why are they profiting and he’s not ?y’all think this man owe them because they helped him then cool but if these people never truly adopted him and only have conservatorship knowing his athletic ability then what tf does that spell out to you 😑
@@Heimdadream96 _>>"Why are they profiting and he's not?"_ They proved he made the same as the rest of the family from the film. Are you saying he didn't profit from his first book? Are you saying that he doesn't profit from his speaking engagements or his interviews? Is he not going to profit from this 2nd book he has out now? He profits from his fame.... they profit from *THEIR* fame. So where's the problem?
@@ashian23x46
So let me see if I've got this timeline straight. In 2011, Michael Oher talks about the Tuohys conservatorship with him *three times* in his autobiography and CLAIMS he was told it was basically the same as an adoption. 10 years go by. For MONTHS back in 2021, news of Britney Spears' terrible conservatorship was plastered all over the news and the internet... with most stories starting out by defining what a conservatorship is. EVERYONE now knows it's nothing like an adoption. A judge finally dissolves Spears' nasty arrangement in November of 2021 and it's all over the media again.
2 YEARS later in 2023, Michael Oher says that he only found out the difference between a conservatorship and an adoption in *February of that year* .... and expects us to believe that? Please... So where was he all through 2021.... living in a cave? Michael Oher is a LIAR and a greedy, backstabbing, ungrateful POS
@@harrynutzach307 See, it doesn't matter if you believe him, or whether his timing of coming forward with his story meets your approval. Or did he really know what a conservatorship meant or not. It's your choice what to believe. What does matter is they tricked him like it was an adoption. They tried to say they never told him it was an adoption, but had it plastered on their website. It matters that they went around the country, collecting speaking fees, set up foundations, writing books, on talk shows, settings up deals, sold his rights to make money from his name and image. He alleged he didn't get a dime from none of it. Now if you wanna argue something, argue whether he's lying about not receiving his fair share from events that never should've done without his approval. It's obvious why you're taking the Touhey's side. It's okay..we expect that.
The Tuohy family have hearts of not gold, but Diamonds! May God bless everyone of them🙏❤
They took him in, fed, and clothed him, gave him a room for himself; something which he never had.
They showed him love, especially Mrs. Tuohy; she loved him as her own child!
They're the ones who're responsible for him being who he has become today! May God bless them for their kindness 🙏❤️🌹
Many people might now think twice about helping others (that much) that might be in a similar situation as Michael was in.
If Michael Oher has a conscience, he'll not sleep very well throughout the nights. He's an ungrateful man! God sees and knows everything, so he'll deal with Michael.
I'd bet money on this
1 - He hasn't worked since 2016 so has no real income coming in.
2 - He's trying to maintain a semblance of his lifestyle spending during the NFL.
3 - He's running out of money like many ex-ballers do who can't handle finances.
4 - Someone is in his ear (money manager or lawyer) who gave him this idea, so they can make a profit off of him as well.
I think you would lose your money on #4. I don't get it. Michael Oher supporters think he's telling the truth and see the Tuohys as evil. Tuohy supporters believe they are telling the truth and this is a money grab. But out of that latter group, I've seen SO MANY who believe someone in Michael's inner-circle is "in his ear" and is putting him up to this. Why is it that so many people let him off the hook? It's like either the Tuohys were manipulating him... or his wife / lawyers / friends are. *Someone* is always manipulating "poor Michael" the victim.
So far, the Tuohys have provided the court with the *evidence* to back up everything their lawyers said in their August press conference:
- that they made less than 1 million from the film
- that Oher was paid his equal share and was sent 10 payment checks
- that when he refused to cash them the money went into an account for his son
- that he tried years ago to shake them down for $15 million
The other thing they said that day? That Oher has tried this money grab several times before.... hiring different law firms each time. You know the Tuohys' lawyers would never *volunteer* that information if they didn't have the paper trail to back it up. Face it.... he's not the loving, "gentle giant" the movie portrayed. This is ALL HIM.
Gold digger wife...
4. I think it's his wife. They were together 17 years prior to their marriage.
4. I think it's *all him.* He stopped talking to them back in 2017, and the Tuohys lawyers said that he has tried this with before with other law firms.
Wonder when “The Blind Side 2: No Touchdowns” will be released…. Hope they cast Sandra Bullock again.
Where would he be without them though ?
He was an all American before he met them
@@jasonnutz6149no he wasn’t
@@jasonnutz6149 That is blatantly false. He met them and they were already funding his school lunch account and buying him clothes in *10th grade* .... before the school would even allow him to play any sports at all because his grades were so bad. So they were taking care of his needs almost full year before even saw him *play* any football.
@@harrynutzach307proof or it didn’t happen
@@jasonnutz6149 It's in BOTH the Blind Side book and Michael Oher's own 2011 book. Michael Oher writes about arriving and getting used to Briarcrest as a sophomore.... and discovering that he didn't get free lunch anymore.
_"One of the biggest differences between Briarcrest and all the other schools I’d attended was that lunch wasn’t free. In my public schools I always made sure I was in school at lunchtime even if we didn’t go to any classes during the day-at least I was guaranteed one meal a day. But at Briarcrest, everyone had to pay or pack. Free lunch wasn’t an option; my scholarship just covered tuition. So suddenly I found out that the one meal a day I always knew I could count on was gone. Again, it was a situation where if I had told anyone, I know they would have immediately helped me out. But I didn’t, and I guess it just didn’t occur to anyone that two or three dollars a day for lunch was more than I could afford. It was one thing to bum a bed on the sofa or some food at dinnertime. It was a totally different thing to ask for money for lunch. _ ...
_ But suddenly I discovered that I had a lunch account. I can’t remember who told me, specifically, but I just know that one day I was told that I could just get whatever I needed in the lunch line and it would be covered. The feeling of relief that day was huge. I was starting to see God at work around me; I had a need, it was met. That’s pretty powerful. Later I would find out it was *Sean Tuohy* who was my cafeteria sponsor." _
I know where you got your quote. Michael Oher LIES and says that when he "moved in" with the Tuohys in the summer before his senior year he was already an All-American. His supporters stretch his lie into an even bigger lie and say he was already an All American when he MET THEM. Both books talk about him meeting them as a sophomore... him spending more and more time with them... and him practically living there months before he became an All American
Something's very fishy about this, there's more to this than meets the eye
Not that big
Oher is a scumbag
Why is it all about the money ?? They raised him his biological parents didn’t
Yall really out here saying the family used him. They clothed him, fed him, and gave him a place to sleep. Like I'd understand if they touched his NFL money but they didn't. On the contrary, they attended his games and celebrated his victories. In return, he slaps them with a lawsuit and tries to extort them saying to pay him what he is owed. They don't owe him shit.
Under conservatorship he paid for everything including their services. He was handing over his money when he was old enough to be independent. They took advantage of him.
@@ericeandco what did he pay for exactly. What services
@@WillYawnall of his life, clothes, food and education. People forget how relevant are the grades at school to even be elegible to play a sport.
@@ericeandco Wait.... you think that a grown man was handing money over to these people and letting them control him and was too stupid to KNOW he was in a conservatorship? Seriously?
This is just sad.
Granted we don’t know everything that happened behind closed doors but his story doesn’t hold water with me before Shawn and Leigh Anne Tuohy met Mike they were doing very well financially they didn’t need money in his own book he says he said he about the conservatorship since he signed it.
Anyone who follows college football should have known he was lying from day 1. The media were all talking about the section in his lawsuit where he mentions a contract from April 20, 2007... giving his name, image, and likeness rights away to the movie studio for free. He was accusing the Tuohys of forging his signature on it.
And I thought to myself.... "April of 2007? *OF COURSE* his signature is on that contract giving his rights away for free. In 2007 he was still at Ole Miss on an NCAA football scholarship. The NCAA *strictly forbid* student athletes from accepting ANY payment for their name, image and likeness rights back then. The NCAA just lifted that NIL rule a few years ago (2020 / 2021?). If they would have caught him making a dime from that film, his football career would have been over. Michael Oher knows perfectly well why his name is on that contract... they sent a copy of it to the NCAA to fool them into thinking he was waiving payment. Meanwhile they were sliding him money from the 'family check' "
It's not an accusation. They turned in the text in the court filings.
What do you mean?
@@Vanessa-ll2qy He means that they didn't just ACCUSE him of sending the texts. They actually submitted the screenshots of the actual text messages to the court. Unlike Michael Oher, they have *evidence* to back up what they claim.
@@Vanessa-ll2qy Dirty, Oher, and his pygmy brain sent extortion texts to the tune of 15 million dollars. Those texts live forever in the cyber world. The Tuohy's saved this man's life, enabling him to become a millionaire, and he still has his paws out. He got more than he deserved. He will get nothing more.
@@harrynutzach307thanks Harry. What a shame of an outcome 😢
@@pauloh4571 What blows my mind is that in one of the text messages, he claims to have been robbed of $50 million. He only made about $34M in his whole damn football career. And he thinks his NIL rights are worth more than his entire 10-season NFL salary? The man is delusional.
Just finished the movie 15 minutes, this fucking break my heart.
Give him his money 😡
They DID. Or weren't you paying attention back in November when they provided evidence to the court proving that he is a LIAR.
Scott Adams isnright again.
He is so ungrateful
Michael Oher overplayed his hand here hand he quietly stayed on decent terms with this family and asked for and even invested in restaurants or even sports and media about football I think he would be ok this now looks bad and it’s almost looking like a shake down tragic Michael would say all this now this story would have been more believable if he was still in the nfl
It doesn’t look like a shake down. They benefitted from his income past the age of majority. He was their cash cow and they didn’t want to give it up.
@@ericeandcoThey don't need his money, the Tuohuy's were millionaires long before meeting Oher.
@@ericeandco If you don't see a shake down, then you're not looking very hard. Back on November 8th, the Tuohys submitted a whole paper-trail of evidence to the Shellby County court proving that he was paid his fair share of what they made from the movie. This proves that he LIED in his lawsuit when he said that "he made nothing from the film". Then on December 4th, they provided evidence to the court that he really did send them the shake down extortion text messages. He has false accusations.... they have *evidence.*
He didn't even invite them to his wedding. What a piece o' work.
Wow what an ungrateful man. His story? What a joke. Dude no one knew you and there are millions of stories like yours. I watched a great movie by the wonderful actress for Sandra Bullock. I couldn't take my eyes off of her. This joker who has earned so much money from being famous off of the movie's success and sold so many books making millions is now broke and trying to extort a family that helped and saved him from poverty. He didn't capitalize enough on his fame and now resorts to extortion. Mr. Michael Oher could have hired a great agent or manager and give motivational speeches across the country and earn those millions in a few years. His true character is on display. We learn everyday.
He is owed it!!! These people have no character!
Hahahahahaa!!
Then why doesn't it say so in any of the *contracts he signed* ?
Micheal wouldn't be where he is without them. He's dirty. Scott Adams was right. The family is getting a harsh lesson.
@@harrynutzach307 Because they were written that way and presented fraudulently as legal guardianship papers, which Oher signed mistakenly and a judge rescinded. This is the next logical step in the process of reversing that fraud that the white people committed.
@@willman9567 Isn't Scott Adams that racist guy who just threw a racist tantrum and can't make his lame cartoon anymore?
It's interesting how it always comes back to racists for y'all. Y'all really can't tell left from right unless a white dude tells you a black dude does it the other way.
This is a real blind side
Isn’t Oher a rich man already? if it weren’t for them who know what he would have done and it definitely wouldn’t have been an NFL Career.
The man was already heavily recruited by schools bigger and better than Ole Miss, so you're not making sense.
So they are just supposed to profit off of him for the rest of their lives I’m not saying that they are bad people but imagine somebody else profiting for YOUR story and you get nothing out of it like they could have given him at least half 💯
@@Heimdadream96 If he knew about everything before he signed why now is he asking for money, there’s two sides to this story and Michael was not misinformed before making any decisions.
@@Heimdadream96 They proved back in November that he was paid his fair share of the movie money. They have the paper trail showing how he was paid with TEN checks. How can you still defend him when *he LIED* and said "they made millions while he made *nothing* "?
@@ashian23x46 Completely irrelevant.... without the Tuohys help, his horrible grades wouldn't have been good enough for *ANY* Division 1 college.
This is better than the movie!
It's probably the influence of the gold digger he married.
The last news I heard about him was a DUI
They owned him. Aint no way around that.
That's completely asinine. The man earned *$34 Million* in the NFL.... and another fortune with his first book. They never touched any of his money or told him what to do with his life. Exactly how did they *_own_* him?
So now they are in bad terms… that just doesn’t feel right at all …
He hasn't spoken to them since around 2017.
Wow. Way to not tell the whole story. He absolutely knew about the conservatorship. He wrote about it in his book. Lol. How does he explain that? He was too old to be adopted and the conservatorship was placed so they could make decisions on his behalf regarding school and business dealings because it was what was in his best interest at the time so noone would take advantage of him. I guess no good dead goes unpunished
He literally said yeah they fed me and clothed me gave me a truck and they told me they love me when I was 18 years old The only difference is when black people say they love you they mean it. He has been brainwashed by the people who discarded him. They have millions of dollars when they took him in he wasn't a football star he wasn't an All pro like they knew he was going to turn out to be some famous football player and make money and make a movie he had none of that when they took him in they never did anything but show him love they came to all of his games celebrated every time he won they got I think a couple hundred thousand dollars out of the movie even though they're worth millions. This is basically colon Kaepernick type s***. You can provide no proof that they actually didn't love you but they're white so now you hate them because race baiters have told you to. Not to mention in his book he mentioned that he knew it was a conservative ship not adoption.
Really, they have to keep puting their personal affairs out in the media.....
What do they want or need?
Another Movie to make money call it the Blindsided 2
What do they want or need? You're kidding, right? Michael Oher is stabbing them in the back and trying to ruin their reputation. They WANT to show the world what a lying scumbag he is.... they NEED to legally protect themselves.
Never raise a black child 🙌
That's not extortion, that's wanting what I'm owed.
How long are you going to keep posting this nonsense when they proved with EVIDENCE that they don't owe him a dime.... way back in November?
It is ridiculous that the very people that stole the money from this young man now are portraying themselves as victims. Typical!!!
Stole WHAT money? They proved back on November 8th that he received an equal cut of what they got.
Yep...they must be democrats
they did not prove anything except that his story was cut 5 ways. Michael oher has been speaking out since that stupid movie came out
@@yagirltones8748 These texts when combined with the evidence they provided back on Nov 8th, proves that they have been telling the TRUTH this whole time.
- They didn't make millions off the film.
- They didn't steal his movie money... he got an equal share.
- When Michael stopped cashing his checks, they did deposit his payments in a trust account for his son.
- Michael did try to "shake them down" for $15 million like their lawyers said.
But the biggest thing they proved?
- Michael Oher LIED in a sworn document when he claimed (twice) in his August petition that the Tuohys made millions while *"he made nothing"*
Lol you don’t even know the whole story, why you siding with one or the other? Stfu and analyze the facts, 🧠🤏🏻🤡
These people have used him for years and now they're accusing HIM of extortion for wanting them to pay him the money they made off of his story. They had a conservatorship without his knowledge and he was never adopted. These people are despicable.
Oher knew about the conservatorship since we wrote about it in his book from 2011. Oher is lying here.
The family provided receipts PROVING Oher was paid his equal share of the film profits, and he KNEW about the conservatorship.
That family was already extremely well off before they even met Oher.....and he has admitted in the past how important they were in helping him get into college, which led to the NFL.
Do you actually believe they only took him in with the hopes of cashing in on a friggin movie?! Yeah.......real good odds there.
Learn some facts about the situation before accusing people of being despicable. People like you are the despicable ones.
If you think you are getting $15 million for a book written about and the movie rights, you are clueless.
Survivors usually remain self centered and wil step right over non family that gives heart, soul , blood and money, you have to help w no expectation of reward and be prepared to be spit in face as you are seen as a mere asset for as long as you give to them, Most are deeply damaged so give w unselfish love but beware.
You need to do your research before commenting.
The meathead would be in prison if it weren't for this gracious couple. He continues the stereotypes of these peoples. This beautiful couple should countersue for the millions they helped him obtain in the NFL.
They would never countersue. They're good people.
Stfu you racist your people are not anyone’s savior. Are you kidding entitled to millions? Helped him accomplish being in NFL? I’m sorry were they on the field playing with him as well? They deserve nothing and should be lucky they even got that cut off of that man. Just like the same stereotypes for your people racist and entitled
They were lying to him and using him for money, meathead.
@@harrynutzach307no, they are jerks.
@@Claudia_Crimson_585 He would have had a 1.56 GPA without those "jerks". He would have gone NOWHERE without those "jerks". They did nothing to deserve his backstabbing.
It’s coz he’s black isn’t it?
Well the whole "victim" narrative wouldn't work very well if he were white, would it?
Would it be anything else in 2023
