I guess you could say we’ve been blindsided
Probably the only part of the movie that was right was the title. Michael got hit in his blind side.
The irony Sandra give back that Oscar 🎉🎉🎉 you didn't earn it😂
@@eugeneshivers3227 or give it to Michael
@@eugeneshivers3227her acting has nothing to do with this
💯💯
As if the movie didn’t do him wrong enough
I'm saying bro
The movie made him look like a dumbass
Bro he is crying for attention why didn’t this happen back then if it’s so true quit looking for clicks
if you know what a conservatorship is you would understand. if you don't, look into it.@@Travis_lee
@@Travis_leehe didn’t know he wasn’t legally adopted until this year when he had a lawyer investigate. Don’t assume.
As a person who went through foster care, watched drugs destroy my parents. The pain these peoples actions are causing that dude can’t even be comprehended. When you’re a kid in foster care all you dream about is having a family that loves you like their own. This shit heart breaking man.
He lied he got money see there three sides to a story his hers and the truth the family was already filthy rich before they meet micheal they owned a crap load of chain resturants she had an interior design company look up clay travis he has the whole story on this so does Black and White sports
FlemLo, I’ve watched you for years and you’re usually quite fair and balanced. Not so on this one. Every person involved got $14,000 including mike. You can’t be adopted after you turn 18 in that state. It’s the law.
Where is your comment on what the father said immediately after this broke? It’s utter BS that you present only one side. That family took in some homeless child who didn’t own a pot to piss in. They quite possibly saved his life! And now this is how their taking in someone else’s child is portrayed? Wow. People should not fall for sensationalized reporting. As the truth comes out, you will hear less and less about this story because it doesn’t fit the agenda that we all must be at each others throats. It’s all theatrics and hyperbole from some money hungry lawyers. Watch how this plays out and if you’re wrong, you owe that family a resounding apology. They are making it look like they took in this child to train him to be a football star which is just absurd un the surface. They had 10’s of millions before they even met him.
@@oldskoolbrawlerwhat's sad they will never take accountability. I've seen it happened so many times. People hating in the shadow but when the truth comes out they scatter like cockroaches
The pain they caused him??? Do you know exactly how he got into a private high school? Or how he was able to bring his GpA up from a 0.76 to a 2.58?? You know that just because you are a 5 star at your sport doesn’t guarantee you admissions right?
That family is a big reason why he got into Ole Miss. Don’t try and tell me a grown ass 18yr old black man is heartbroken about not being adopted because that’s how old he was when they took him in.
That family was worth millions before him, why would they need his money, if anything he’s probably mad that he’s not inheriting theirs.
@@oldskoolbrawlerthen why cut him out of the movie deal??? They robbed him fucking blind
I don't understand how a family worth over $50M, sold their restaurant business for $200M, would want to rip off another man for what is said to be about $5M worth of royalties that they got from the movie. There's way more to this story im not picking no sides.
Nail on head
How come they didn't just adopt him from the jump? Sounds like it was all just business.
It also seems strange Michael earned his NFL money fair and square. It didn’t go to his parents it went to him. He also should’ve found out about the conservatorship earlier since it gave the parents control over contracts and medical decisions. Anytime he had any medical issues as an adult they would’ve had to sign. How would he not end it earlier? Perhaps this is a player who’s lost money? I’m not sure but I’m waiting to see how this ends
@@MrVocalist567maybe they didn’t want to since his mother was still alive. His mother agreed to the conservatorship.
How do you think the rich stay rich, by f*cking over everyone they can.
To cut someone out of benefiting from their OWN story is WILD. Wow. Hope he gets what is owed to him.
That's the wild part for me as well
If it’s true he definitely will
Oh he got what he's owed, a career, education , a life...from white people..cuz his lame black parents didnt
The family was worth over 100 million dollars I don’t think they needed a little movie deal
Hulu did it to Mike Tyson.
The actor who played Oher, Quinton Aaron is a great dude.
He was on Law & Order SVU and was great. Highly recommend the show btw.
@DrBeauHightower I wish you could hammer my body 😂😂😂
@@clevelandcbi Who hasnt seen SVU lol
Whats SVU?@@ets2446
@@clevelandcbithat episode was crazy.
Its crazy how the investigator lady from the movie was right that the tuohy's were using him
They used him? Nope.
Attorneys for the Tuohys estimated that each family member, including Oher, received $100,000 as a result of the film, adding that the couple paid taxes on his portion for him.
@@youtubesucks1499 Yeah I read that article recently which is a fine sum for the unexpected success of the movie.
Yet it's still petty that they lied that they would adopt him which he obviously signed and turned out to be a conservatorship which implies they had plans to profit off him in his name.
@@-_-_-___-_-_- He stated in his book he knew it wasn't an adoption.
Seriously. Mike is ungrateful.
@@youtubesucks1499you can’t be serious
He left the nest with an education,a career and as a multimillionaire but he wants more. How much more? Its never enough.
“The Brokeside: A lesson in money management and getting all of the facts first”
Look for this book in ‘24
I remember watching this movie years back and just thinking, "they're really portraying this young brother as an idiot and the white folks as the saviors". People were saying, "you're being negative", "It's a good story". Nah, it was bullsh*t from the jump. Glad to see you covering this FlemLo.
I had the same thoughts watching it. I Remember they used salt and pepper shakers to train him in one scene. Wtf was that? Lol and then I remembered hearing that Michael hated the movie after it came out
I never ended up seeing it, but found it weird that Sandra Bullock's character was on the field with him, as if she was teaching him the game. Not sure if that's what happens in the movie though.
I had the same thoughts bruh!!!
@@Joe_Parmesanthat is what happened in the movie… made him seem like he was some big dummy… had a 9 y/o teaching him football too…
That movie was CRINGE-it played into every stereotype white people love. I’m glad he’s suing them.
I've lived in Mississippi my entire life. A significant number of people here had a suspicion this sad story was really what the recruitment was all about. I hope the right thing is done and there is reconcilliation.
Same except I left Mississippi when I went to the Air Force and ended up in Texas but yeah I remember some of the older adults talking about this and nobody could’ve known what was really going on
Yeah I used to live in MS as well, both of my parents went to Ole Miss, and there's always been people who doubted their motivations and the story itself.
How to reconcile with folks who did this shit to u?!?!?!?!?
That’s pure EVIL.
Reconciliation, are you for real?
It’s all a hoax dude. Michael Oher is trying to blackmail the family into paying him millions of dollars. Just look it up
The story was so good because of his trauma and triumph and he never profited off of it at all. I hope he recovers as much as he can and that family gets put under pressure.
"The story was so good because of his trauma and triumph and he never profited off of it at all". Um, so you're ignoring the $34M in earnings Oher made during his pro career? I'd sure be happy with those profits from MY struggles and trauma and triumph. Bet that $34M dwarfs any royalties the Tuohys got from the movie. Still, bitch move by them IF it's true they didn't give him a fair share of the royalties.
This family is worth over $200 million dollars folks. Pause a min and think folks.
Glad he's sueing. Truth will always come out to light
He should of been sued when I saw the movie it was a joke.
I did find it weird how when Sandra Bullock promoted Blind Side, she never said it was true or build up the movie like most during awards season. Instead, it’s almost like she put the whole crux of everything right on Leigh Anne’s lap. More like if someone’s going down it’s you not me. Maybe she also knew something.
bro that is a great point. i noticed that too but didnt put it together like you did. great job at noticing that
She should've played the part of she smelled something that off.
When this movie came out I knew it was a bunch of bs
I might’ve found my new best friend lol, cause I was literally just thinking this…. Sandra seems as if she truly didn’t want any part of this movie since the beginning
Sandra Bullock had no part in this! It's not her responsibility to view the adoption documents. And she has nothing to do with how the movie is promoted. That is 100% up to the producers.
You make a good point about how the family hijacked his story. The Tuohy’s were actually guest stars on season 5 of Bravo’s Below Deck and they go into how when they made the movie deal they made the stipulation that they would HAVE to APPROVE the script. So they 100 percent approved it and approved how Oher was portrayed.
Was it not their story too! Cause without them his story has no happy ending!
@@chrisemerson7743 no it’s not their story. If they were a real family they would have portrayed him with more respect.
@@evaphillips2102 you can't tell his story without including them! Just like they can't tell this story with out him! You can argue about it all you want!
Also, they didn't portray him in any way that was all Hollywood! "More respect"? Taking him in to their home, helping him get an education, get in college I mean how disrespectful is that!
The lawyer for the family already provided receipts that movie profits were split 5 ways. Why would a family that was already worth over $250M take a chance and plan on taking in a homeless kid, thinking maybe he can make it in the nfl so we can make a movie. It's b.s. Micheal Orher wrote a book in 2016 and talked about his geeat life with them. Truth is that he is broke now and is in major debt. Sounds like a good time to sue.
My mom loves this movie and it did make me feel gross. He's portrayed as a slow dude but we all know the amount of intelligence it takes to be an offensive lineman. Never sat right with me.
Not only an Offensive Lineman.. A Left Tackle
He's slow. How many years after the movie release is he now crying foul......
It takes intelligence to tackle?
@@carlbrenda6518this shits COMPLICATED as hell it’s not super easy to figure out. More than likely he probably tried to research but in a conswrvatorship even ur rights to know what’s happening to u medically legally or otherwise isn’t ur own right.
The only way he found out is when he sued Disney for the portrayal of him in the movie and THEY told him he couldn’t sue because he was in a conswrvatorship.
Case was tossed.
And he found out.
@@carlbrenda6518because he just found out
How can you leave Oher out of the royalties on a story about his own life?
No. Natural. Affection.
Maybe they were'nt genuine in helping that kid in the first place. I believe that white couple purposely jipped that youngman out of his earning's and only pretended to help him to get paid aka get their cut of the pie. Why does it seem like eveverytime black's get involved with white's the black person get's screwed up and taken advantage of? I'm starting to wonder if it's true that white people are actually lucifers children
But made sure their own damn kids ate, off his story is nuts
They only care about being rich nothing more nothing less
And who exactly represented Micheal at the negotiations prior to the movie being made? According to ESPN, the White family had their own legal reps and Michael used his business agent. If Michael was representing himself with his own people, did the White family leave him out?
How did the family get an elected judge and a licensed physician to agree to the Conservatorship because that's what is usually required to get one?
Well....this hasn't aged good AT ALL. It's only been one day as well. Usually it takes a few weeks for the truth to come out.
They made a conservatorship look like an adoption so they could rip him off. That is shady af. I hope there is a lot of fallout for those two.
It's surprising that a Mississippi family wasn't looked at more closely... they are a typical southern slave owning family... nothing surprising about their actions
I feel like it’s actually really smart. It would be in any kids best interest to have their parents have control over the kids name. But selling his story and cutting him out is inexcusable. But I find it hard to believe full go. Has to be more to the story.
And how exactly did they rip him off? First off... the family did NOT earn millions from the movie and at the time the movie studio wanted to bring the story to the big screen, Michael had his own business agents who represented him and the family had their own. So that begs the question, who made the terrible deal for Michael?
@@tjanderson5892they weren’t his parents 1 and 2 they never even adopted they were using him from the start they are scumbags simple as that
@@covertpuppytwo3857they got paid off his story/struggle and he didn’t benefit not one cent from it but they made sure they’re actual birth children for sure did and had this man believe he was signing adoption papers when that was never the case the only thing I blame him for is being gullible and not reading the paper thoroughly before signing it
Even if he get's his money that pain must be unbearable. 20 years thinking you had a family only to learn they were just using you. That's a different kind of hurt.
It’s a hoax dude. Michael Oher is trying to blackmail the family into paying him millions of dollars. Just look it up
Oh stop!! Did he ever bother to ask why his last name didn’t change if he was adopted?? How long did he live with the family before they pulled strings to get him into Ole Miss?? Who adopts a grown ass man??He’s trying to get attention for his book.
In his first book he admitted to knowing about the conservatorship. Financial records will be proof. It doesn’t seem like he payed very much attention to his money if he waited until 8yrs after he stopped playing football to look into this.
If his mom wasn't such a cracked out 304, it wouldn't be an issue. At least they stepped in for a kid that wasn't even there's. I wouldn't adopt him - I'm having my own kids like any sane person.
@@BossItUp911 this is all a hoax dude, Michael oher is desperate for money and has no shame
The Tuohys are worth over 100M. They don't give a shit about the small peanuts big Mike made. He's a liar.
His story is so retarded I can't believe idiots are falling for it.
Read his book. He knew it was a conservatorship.
Love seeing your vids back on my feed
The author of the book was a high school friend of Sean Tuohy, so you have to wonder what was going on behind closed doors to make this story happen. Also there's been an interview with the author that has come to light where he starts by shading Michael's academic achievements at Ole Miss to transition into how NCAA sports use athletes for prestige while putting them through farcical educations.
To me it seems like the author turned Michael into a man-child as a way to prove this point, and now a cloud hangs over Michael because of it.
Facts they acted like he didn’t know how to play football and used condiment bottles. Sometimes you need perspective so I’m a idiot but man no way a pro is like that it’s laughable on retrospect. Someone else said the actor never even met Michael oher.
@@dowhatiwantc7637it's always "someone else said this or said that"! Or "it was said"! Just spreading bullshit! Seems like all you folks are pissing on this family like they stole his childhood! When in fact they gave him a future! Do you honestly believe he would've gone to a school like Ole Miss much less go to the NFL? With zero guidance? He did not make this family wealthy! These people were very rich before they ever laid eyes on him! Now if they were middle class or regular folks this story would make a lot more sense! But money wise, what they wouldv gained off him would amount to $50-100 dollars to you or me! Are you gonna take some kid off the street to come live in your house, with your wife and kids for a $100 bucks?
I knew that movie wasnt what it seemed to be. It's sad how evil people benefit. My grandma used to say you can hide more evil behind a smile and this proves that to be fact. Great reporting
I generally take movies based on true stories with a grain of salt
I was Total Fooled!!
We all knew it was a Hollywood movie. Doesn't take away from the fact that his mom loved crack and his dad was in jail and they could care less about if he had a roof over his head and a pillow to lay his head on at night. Lol.
As someone who had a rough childhood and aspires to help children, this is really upsetting. It makes me want to get on it and start helping.
I can’t believe this is all coming out now wow!!! Thank you Flem Lo
Another great video Flem 🔥
That's disgusting that they would do that to him truly awful they would take advantage of him like that and totally screw him out of what he is owed
His real parents did him pretty dirty also
Sounds about white
@@craigbfolksingerthey all did him dirty
@@craigbfolksingerhis real parents had issues and couldn’t take care of themselves properly which is sad and of course they couldn’t take care of a child if they can’t take care of themselves. Which is sad and awful for their children. But a family who is successful and take care of themselves quite well yet still find a child to take advantage of is sick.
@@downsouth00that is doing someone dirty if you can't take care of a kid you shouldn't have one
I hope a major news outlet covers this bc this is crazy
Some news outlets already covered it but who knows
What’s worse? Strangers taking in a stranger and helping him while expecting some financial compensation or his own mother choosing drugs over him and his siblings
I saw it on one of the big news front pages online. ESPN wrote a great article this week too. I hope it gets to court, I’ll watch that show!
@@ticenits3426Well if the way Oher is saying it went down is true then both are pretty bad. Why does it have to be one or the other?
@@raisedbobcat8266 if what he’s saying is true then they still paid for his schooling gave him shelter clothed and fed him. Why shouldn’t they try to cash in on that? They helped him he helped them. He just wasn’t as good at keeping his money as them so now he gotta go after them. Over a decade later
I remember watching your video last year. Now the story is all over my FB and I’m like “Flemo Raps covered it first!”
Brother, thank you for the video...very well done! I live in Shelby County and I pray Michael gets justice. This was definitely a recruitment strategy.
So freaking cold! What kind of people do this kind of sh*t? How can they live with that guilt. Thanks FlemLo
Average psychos or sociopaths I forget which one does this specific sort of thing
@@kylesawkon4074And that's no excuse, since successful yet decent people find out they have these traits☹️ Poor Micheal ☹️☹️☹️
The kind with white skin.
Man FlemLo has a real talent for recapping events in a clear and concise manner, hats off to you! Also that family are scumbags profiting of a young lads life story and cutting him out of his due rewards all the while failing to tell the world of his dedication and hard work.
Facts... I was just thinking about all of the videos that I have enjoyed that he has done and came to the conclusion that this brother has the best story coverage.. Hope he continues to grow his platform because he is truly "gifted" in journalism.
WRONG. HE LIED. Just like Oher lied about the Tuohys and its been proven. No intelligent person believed that a family worth over $200 MILLION just decided to screw Oher out of a relatively small amount of chump change. Its not the first time he tried to blackmail/extort them either.
I can't wait to see this clown's retraction video where he aplogizes for being a moron.
Just found your site, you do a really good job of capturing all sides, people, athletes, professional sports culture, white, black, right and wrong. Keep it up, best podcast out there for understanding all opinions💪💪
Sounds like the music industry.
Michael stayed so strong..mad respect to you Mr. Oher.
I'm legit upset that I saw that movie when it first came out the more I hear about this. Because years later I'm finding out it wasn't true at all. And I know it wasn't because Michael would have no reason to lie about the events in his own life. And the fact that Michael wasn't cut in at all on the profits secures it. Because if this was some loving family that took him in, they would never cut their own son out.
@Norm-R So we are supposed to believe even after he is an adult and an NFL player he's so STUPID that he didn't know anything. That's what we're supposed to believe??? And why now after all these years? This smells to high heaven, another poor black man evil white crap fest. NOT buying it at all.
Remember the titans isn't exactly bar for bar either dude their made to entertain
You are just now realizing that movies don’t tell the truth??? In his first book he said he was aware of the conservatorship and it’s purpose. Financial records will tell us what we need .
Why did he wait until now to do this?? Oh because he has a new book out maybe 🤔.
Those people was evil and money 💴 hungry they need to be on the show for the love of money greedy
I remember watching this movie and thinking “ain’t no way in hell this dude went from not knowing how to play football to getting a D1 SEC offer in one school year.”
Now That U Said That, There’s No Way In Hell That Would’ve Happened In Real Life😭😭
That's actually not that far fetched, plenty of One year football players make it to college
@@SpaceX30Yeah, but not starting O-line in the SEC. Except maybe Vandy.
@@SpaceX30 making it to college is one thing, maybe to a school with a direction in they name (East Carolina, North Texas, Western Michigan, Southeastern Louisiana) but he not about play at Ole Miss.
@@larry7960nah you can make off one year, I balled out my junior year, killed it my 1st game as a senior and broke my fibula and dislocated my ankle my second game senior year. I still had all kinds of offers and get this I ended signing with Ole Miss. I was there 03-08, I played 3 years with Mike, it’s weird seeing all these stories. He had Ms Sue there with him to tutor in college too. Mike drove a Hummer in college 😂 but that don’t make up for what they did. Oh I was a DEnd so I battled with him everyday. Patrick Willis has a similar story. I still haven’t fully watched the movie bc Big O was not like that 😂 folks did him wrong
Hope you do a follow up with this showing how he’s been trying to shake them down for 15 million for years.
Your coverage and story telling never disappoints 💯
I watched this 3.5 consecutive times during jury duty in Detroit a few years back. It was already dark enough for me Flemlo.
Wow, great take! So sad! Thanks for great insight as always!
FLEMLO BACK WHATS GOOD MY GEE?!!!!!🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿
Damn man this sucks to see. Really hope this ends better for Michael Oher
Oh it will they gone have to pay him believe that!!
He’s a millionaire 🗣️he already won
@@aaronwashington3526 I would believe that if the White family actually were the ones who cut him out... but other sources indicate just the opposite. Michael used his own reps to negotiate with the movie studio ... not the White family. If Michael's own reps bungled the deal, why should the White family be responsible for that? Don't count your chickens until the eggs hatch!
@@blockTayat this point I don't think it's about money. He should want justice and payback
@@jeremyslush4014 one my favorite movies to watch still today 💯 and ur right
I've been thinking something was off with this whole story. I went to high school a couple miles from Briarcrest at the same time this was happening and, even back then, the whole thing just felt wrong but its been several times I've said that and everyone said I was being cynical
Still are!
@@chrisemerson7743 do you mean Im still being cynical? Quite possible. I haven't grown out of it, that's for sure
@@decker528 In his 2011 book he stated he knew about the conservatorship and that he wasn't legally adopted
The producers of the film have come out and stated Michael is lying about the money
Also Sean Tuohy wrote letters to small colleges trying to get Michael into their basketball programs because Michael wanted to play basketball not football
@@decker528 at least you admit it! 😂😂
@@harleyinglis1357the book says he thought the conservaship was the adult version of being part of the family
I have seen this movie many times, and read up on it. Michael Oher had originally said the movie was almost 100% accurate except the fact he did not know how to play football. Big Mike's girlfriend wanted Mike out, so Big Mike's friend had to tell him, he could not stay with them anymore. The Tuohy's saw him alone a few times, including the night they picked him up. They never said they were going to adopted him, in fact they knew he would be 18 in a few months and could not legally adopt him. So they asked him they could become his legal guardians.....which is what they did. There is a BIG difference between Adoption and legal Guardianship. They saved him from a life of homelessness.
Love the videos man, been watching for years. I would definitely recommend looking into conservatorship laws in Tennessee and also adult adoption laws. There is information stating that they could not legally adopt Mike as he was an adult but that the court system would see him as a family member through the conservatorship. Another thing to keep in mind there was a court hearing that granted the conservatorship with Mike's birth mother present. I know you've seemed to take Mike's side in this instance but I would ask look at the facts objectively in this case, keep up the great work man.
But they hid millions of dollars so the semantics don’t matter
This one hurts Flem, there are some evil people in the world.
Damn, guy, I was hoping your follow up for this story was going to be a feel good. This vid is heavy. Very solid work. Thank you for your grind.
Thanks for sharing 🙏🏾
Prayers out for Michael🕊️
Prayers out for the tuohys🕊️
I really appreciate what you’re saying and this it seems to be very true and that’s sad. I’m glad you make good videos like this in try to set things right in someway.
Flemlo you hit the nail on the coffin when you said they recruited him.. that’s exactly what they did truthfully I think all they ever saw in him is dollar signs.. dope video as always👍🏾👍🏾
So if they did, this loser of a man owes all of his success, to that gorgeous, wonderful family, who opened up their house to him. They sheltered him. They gave him food, and they trusted him to be around that beautiful daughter of theirs. Knowing exactly what can be done to her by that horrible person. But their heart was too big, but of course, now that he has his millions, this pathetic, horrible human being will spit all over that family. That family had no idea that he was going to be a successful millionaire, and even if he was, what kind of money were they going to make off of that? A movie deal? That’s not worth having an animal in your house!!!!! and put those stupid 👊 down. Unless you’re freaking 12 stop using emojis and grow up!!!! strong brother.

Yep 💯
Flemlo u the best with the story telling. U inspired me to start my own podcast
Dope💯
Shame on you. The Tuohey's were MULTI-MILLIONAIRES before they even met Michael. What truly happened was Michael blew through his NFL money so is now blackmailing the family. The sad thing is, THEY STILL LOVE THE GUY. Sad.
it goes to show how wise and at home with himself Mike Oher is that he was willing to let the movie be a heartwarming little story - even if it is kind of at his expense. i am glad he is standing up to his "family". it is hard not to be very cynical about some things thanks to people like them.
Research what they family put out.
Well everything that's done in the dark is going to forever come to light. What a damn shame
That quote is such BS
recently it looks like Michael may have been lying
The whole time, we thought the blind side was referring to football. In reality, the real “blind side” here is what that family did to Michael all these years. Thank you for your great journalism FlemLo. This is a compelling story to follow.
I'm crying because it's true 🤣
Hindsight is 20/20 and man that title was a crazy double entendre
Its a metaphor
Well said
He didn't do any journalism at all. He literally used all the BS info from one article. Read his book, read/watch old interviews. The dude who played him in the movie.
The Tuohgy are worth over 100M. They did not care about Mikes money. Disgusting they helped this dude and all he did was back stab them.
Thank you for making excellent content man. Had no idea this was going on...
What was going on him lying
Oh wait, there's another update. Looking forward to the next video!!
I appreciate your content dude! Please keep it coming! This story needs to be told because this happens quite often.
Specifically in Hoops and Football. The Touhy's were just savvy enough to find and use another avenue to profit besides the "pro" or "endorsement" check(s).
Similar families of various races can be found at any AAU tournament or camp.
@robertmasseyiii3720 y'all will believe any crap if it fits that narrative. They took this fool into their home which THEY DID NOT HAVE TO DO while his birth mother was too busy being a crack hoe and this is what they get. Some cornball race lie cause he is probably broke. If it were true this would have come out years ago. 14 OR SO YEARS AFTER THE MOVIE, only a fool would swallow this nonsense.
Thanks Flemlo!! This is heartbreaking to say the least!!
Flemlo I get having the actual celebrities reach out to you is huge for not only you but your channel but I think he tryna pull a fast one on you.
This is from his own book. He knew about it
"It kind of felt like a formality, as I’d been a part of the family for more than a year at that point. Since I was already over the age of eighteen and considered an adult by the state of Tennessee, Sean and Leigh Anne would be named as my ‘legal conservators,'” Oher writes in the book.
“They explained to me that it means pretty much the exact same thing as ‘adoptive parents. But that the laws were just written in a way that took my age into account. Honestly, I didn’t care what it was called. I was just happy that no one could argue that we weren’t legally what we already knew was real: We were a family.”
Oh man perfect been needing a clearer explanation
Kinda sad how Michael Other’s fears in the movie were actually true
Wow that is disgusting. I can picture Leanne and Sean laughing their way to the bank while Michael Oher is breaking his back at practice.
Yeah seems like a strong case of “wait and see what comes out”
Flemlo when is the sports therapy podcast ive been waiting
If this is right, this is WRONG! Everyone should get exactly what they deserve. Michael's own story needs to be heard and I want to hear it. Thanks again FlemLo.
Correct - IF this is right. Flemlo does a good job with videos but funny how he always postures that whichever way his opinion leads , is the correct story. Dude is getting very opinion leaning recently.
There really needs to be a crackdown on conservatorships. The practice needs to be investigated and honestly outlawed.
big mike threatened this kind family that he would plant a negative story if they didn't cough up 15 million, what a puke
You need to look into this more, my guy.
There was never a claim of adoption, but guardianship. Oher said so him self, in his own book, back in 2011. It's not in the movie and it's not in the original book the movie was based on, which was also a lot different than the movie.
The family was already rich, worth over 200 million dollars, when they took Michael in.
Something else is going on...
That's the part they don't want to hear. The reality is, Michael mismanaged his money and is broke.
One of my first thoughts with this situation is that Michael would be alone now. Thankfully, he has a wife and kids. I am glad he has a family of his own that he can lean on. I can't imagine losing a family like this.
He’s broke and now back tracking because his nfl career failed quick.
@@Theamericanglasspodcastwell if that is true..:he won’t be for long….
@@Lovelyone1 Yeah he will because this family was SMART as fuck. And they knew as well as the lawyers this day could come. That’s why they had Micheal have his representation throughout. He’s full of shit and even threatened this family.
@@Theamericanglasspodcasthe's worth millions still from every source I've found....sooo🙄
@@Theamericanglasspodcast This sounds like the stupidest comment and there is stupid comments out there. Probably a bot... 🤣
Thank you bro for reporting the truth. Keeps getting crazier
Beware. Your adversary prowls about like a roaring Lion, seeking someone to devour.
Dude Alex Collins passed away from a Motorcycle accident today how sad and rest in peace Alex. Hopefully his family and friends can find peace from this crazy tragedy.
When I was a kid I thought it was odd how they portrayed him as a simpleton, hopefully he can get what was stolen from him.
This already aged like milk. Dude... Two sides to every story. Should have waited to make this.
Now is the time for him to make a movie named "Blindsided".
I love what you do with these stories and how you bring everything out
Clearly Mr Oher is very intelligent despite his upbringing. I hope he’s able to get the Justice he deserves.
The movie deal was between the author and the studio NOT the Touhys and the studio. Meaning the author got the bulk of the royalties not the Touhys or Michael. Also the Touhys were already multimillionaires before meeting Michael. There way more to this. I will reserve judgement.
If he proves that in court they're going to have to give it all back.
The sad thing is, it's a great movie. That's the danger of basing movies off of real events.
Thank you FlemLo for bringing this into the light. I loved this movie but now after what I've learned from you no longer. This story, the actual true story makes me sad. 😥😥
He's known about the conservertaship since 2011. I smell a shakedown.
The family claims he has been shaking them down for years.
He knew about the conservatorship but they misrepresented what it actually meant, do your research
@@lateralittomequick You need to do yours.
Now that the other side has funally had a chance to talk it turns out Oher wasnt being as honest as many initially thought.
Yo Yo Flemo, Where you been my boy.
I was just asking about you the other day.
You've been missed man.
It's good to listen to your fresh, unbais take on this high controversial issue and your to the point viewpoint on such a sad affair like Superbowl Championship Lineman Mike Oherand the way that the goody two shoes 👞🥿 Touhys finessed Mike into signing a conservatorship, making him think that he was being adopted by them and that they had "His" Best Interest at heart, but turns out, they only used him to steal millions from his story, his name, and his likeness.
It is so unfortunate that Michael Over have to go through this receipt and betral from people who assured them that they lived him for him.
Hopefully Mike will be vindicated in the court if law and rewarded restatution.
Excellent video. Peace. ✊🏿
Go get'em Mike, nobody deserves to be treated like that, i hope he gets some satisfaction out of this
3:29
There a certian specia hotl place for people like who did this to someone who is still essentially a kid. I hope Mike gets justice and these people pay, whether in this life time, or the next.
The family did nothing.
The lawsuit is to reveal the truth.
Michael has parents and the adoption would have went through after he was 18 which is hard to do.
The movie payout was a regular movie deal and not good. Everyone got screwed
@@mattk8810 Dude get lost I think people are tired of people like you trying to defend others who have done someone dirty like this
@@mattk8810 And according to ESPN... Michael used his own reps to negotiate the deal with the movie studio and not the family who took him in. Nothing in the story from this video says the family actually cut him out... it just says they made money and Michael didn't. That is not necessary the family's fault. Also according to ESPN the youngest son SJ from the family... they didn't make MILLIONS as the story likes to suggest.
Yeah. Their resurrection is with the unrighteous.
@@jakerojas4756 who's resurrection?
It was a movie . You know a fantasy based on a life . Actually , Michael was a blackmailer and this take is defamation . Be very careful .
As popular as football is, and as good as the vids are its criminal this channel isn't at a million.
This man is dedicated!!! ESPN dropped the story SAME morning, and he gets to work! 💪🏽 keep it up fam!
I read an ESPN article on this today! I had no idea Flemlo was going to come through and double down 🙏🏾
The thing that bothered me the most about the movie was that the actor they used to play Oher was the most unathletic looking dude ive ever seen
Fantastic video brother.
If you go back and remember the scene in the movie where Mike is about to go to college and he signs the official adoption papers....I guess those weren't the adoption papers 😔.
Exactly that movie was a joke that's why I never liked it
There’s a lot of sad stories in the world today. This story makes me sad and angry. I hope Mike gets what’s his and the Touhy’s get what’s there’s and learn to change.
@@stephr9859not every Southerner’s like that.
@@stephr9859 lol I’m from Texas
As i was about to comment it you said it. "It is like a rap deal". Most of them sign a deal called a 360 deal where they get a advance/loan only to have to pay it back and then they own no rights to the music they make. Perfect business world smh. Folks feel helpless and back in a corner then they just call them crazy. Disappointing world
When it came out, my friend was very excited to see it, she asked me, I said no, I just didn't believe it & just had a "feeling" about it, now this...🤫🤫
