Sorry but something doesn't add up. If the story was a "Lie" than why did he wait till now to file a lawsuit? Could it be at the time he was in the NFL collecting a check and now that he's a FA old af he needs some $ I'm not saying the Blind side was 100% accurate. All true stories have some fluff when made into a movie but a person calling out those that helped him says a lot more to me than anything else
they helped themselves not him.. amazing how that works victims are held accountable for the actions of the people who wronged them.. amazing definitely a w thing
again michael oher has said the movie was inaccurate since it was released, this isn't news, he hated the way they portrayed him. since youtube hates links you can fact check me, but the articles say that michael was suspicious for awhile, he tried to get answers but was always ignored, his lawyer was able to unearth a document that claimed it was a conservatorship not a adoption. which means they could control all his finances. so way wait now? because michael didn't know , he thought he was adopted by them, but he learned he wasn't, that changes everything, he didn't wait, he just didn't know because they claimed they adopted him. this isn't about the movie at all, but if you are talking about the money I would say look at old interviews of michael oher talking about it, the movie clearly embellished alot
I wondered if it was too good to be true. You just never know with human nature. People at the top always poaching off of people at the bottom in this country. Just terrible, but looking forward to hearing the other side just to make sure what's going on. How do rich folks try to continue to make him their money making machine?
It is really disgusting what human beings do for money, the movie was released in 2009 and until today 2023 he comes to claim and talk bad things about the family that took him in. Michael you are ungrateful. If that family had not taken you in no one would have known you. Ashamed of you
not true, the whole movie is false, he was an all american recruit when they took him in, thats what he trying to expose, they meet him and saw nothing but $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$
So 14 years later and retired from football and NOW he files a lawsuit? Seems to be a financial reason rather than any truth to his complaint. Yes all movies exaggerate their story lines a bit, he needs cash!
He found out in Feb 2023 that he was never adopted. He went looking for the paperwork and the court told him it was never filed. Rather they had a conservatorship. You should read the story before commenting
The movie was about all of them. Not just him. He must be low on cash. Throwing the only people that cared about him under the bus. He will be back in the projects soon enough.
Wow, talk about selective reasoning. So he should be grateful to be duped and used? So he should bow down and kiss the butts of his masters? Sounds like you're using prejudice instead of logic.
@@wadaf1u3 Stop with the race card. Mike is lying about thinking he was adopted. He didn't change his name. If he had been adopted, he would have their name. Also, it seems that they had business deals that they were watching out for him. It's not like he has a good head on his shoulders. Seems the deal was fine until now. The movie was about all of them, not just Mike. I imagine there is an entirely different real story that will come out. Mike is one of those rags to riches, back to rags story. He's going back to the projects and dragging the people who where there for him through the Twitter mob.

Nothing but Greed. You was given a better life and now you want more? Ask yourself why? You better hit up the Alter and ask for forgiveness after this stunt.
I don't have all the facts, having said that. I'd love to hear all the facts. Did he blow all the money he was paid playing football and now needs some more? Would he have ever made it to the NFL if this family hadn't taken him in? Been role models for him? Made financial sacrifices for him without knowing he'd ever amount to anything? I'm guessing the circles they were living in cast some shade on them all along? Their marital children could have been harmed mentally or physically. They allowed him to be successful and rich by anyone's standards and suddenly that is not good enough for him. I guess you can never have enough lawyers swimming in the sea. They made an insanely risky decision to help a young man with no future. They helped him actually make it into college and the NFL and riches. Not good enough for him. I wonder how many people will see this and not make a similar effort in the future.
How nasty. They did not do this in good faith as they didn’t adopt him, rather they created a business contract to exploit him and then lied to him and told him it was adoption papers. That trumps everything- furthermore after profiting from him they began to close contact. Would they have made the millions they made off of him and that movie without him? Being greedy and exploitative isnt how families are meant to act.
I mean you can look up michael other, I 100% believe it, the articles say his laywers unearthed a document that exposes it all. Michael has claimed for years he hated the way the blind side movie portrayed him, as its not how his life actually played out. but yea lets all believe the rich white people, they would never lie about this. I get it though, it does suck to find out such a inspiring tale wasn't as inspiring as it seemed, I am not surprised at all to see the many amount of copium from this because they don't wanna believe the truth. again this is about michael finding out that he wasn't adopted, how do you think that makes him feel to know that the family that called him son and cared for him didn't actually adopt him? no one is more pissed off about this then him.
Sure, they knew just picking up a black kid in the ghetto would make them rich. I'm betting he made more money in the NFL than they did saving him from poverty. To much woke here. @@erostone2266
If the story is even remotely true, he didn't have a work ethic or the education to even complete high school let alone get into college and ever drafted by the NFL. He had great genetics, period. He's a great story for sure. Why do you think this is suddenly an issue long after his NFL career ended? Use your brain and get off your woke high horse for a second. Even what he suggests is a fine line between being adopted and fostered or whatever he now claims cost him so much money. If that family hadn't taken a chance on him, you would have never heard of him. I guarantee he's blown his fortune from the NFL and some lawyer has talked him into searching for another one. @@CHart-hn3bw
So a family took him in, paid for tutors 20 hours a week, mentored him...paid all his living expenses and made some money selling the story. Now that Oher is no longer in the NFL he wants to sue the family that helped raise him because they happened to make some money off selling the story. Sounds like a spoiled ungrateful kid. Not aware he had anything to do with writing or producing the semi-fictional story. How about saying thanks for all the help in my last couple of years of high school thru college.
There are tons of movies and biographies about real life people. The only people that make money are the writers and producers. . This guy obviously and not surprisingly mismanaged his money and is now looking for a payday.
He was literally freshly 18 at the time and they used his naivety to get him to sign documents he didn’t exactly know what they were. You can’t capitalize off people and make money off them and leave that person no monetary benefits. It’s not about seeking a payday it’s about making what’s wrong right.
@@Dantana424 and 2.5% of the movies proceeds. The movie made millions. The larger issue is them being deceptive about them adopting him. If they really felt like he was family, they would have had no issue with him financially benefiting from the movie. These people are disgusting.

Doesn’t matter. They still provided him with a better life than his biological family did.

Pretty much sums up the NFL
He should sign a release for the movie right?
Well he does have the right to speak his words
sad for this Michael
Ashamed of this family, taking advantage
Damn I’m confused 😐
He deserves what's owed to him...
I guess, except for the fact that he’s already a multimillionaire and is trying to get more
To me that doesn't matter. When I get my paycheck if $1.00 is missing I want what's owed to me. What's in my bank account isn't there business.
They should do a prequel where the family is driving by him , and instead of picking him up , and giving him a home, just speed up and keep on going !
Well I've been Blind sided!
I’m confused did he just find this out I’m completely lost on how he jus found this out can someone explain
So does this mean his mother is going to sue, too?
