Unfortunately this sends a clear message to ppl who want to help, D’ONT!
"D'ONT"? Is that the Homer Simpson version of "don't"?🤔
I read his book and he clearly said he understood the conservatorship and all of that so for him to come out now and say he had no idea how any of that worked is ridiculous.
they exploited the boy..plain and simple
Maybe he forgot that he put it in his book. Lol
when an underage 14 yr old girl plays with a 20 year man its many times willingly. question is does she really know what is going on and will it follow her for the rest of her life when she realizes she was molested. hellywood exploits the crap out of kids.
Direct quote from Michael’s book: “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 said. "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.”
Direct quote from the Petition To Terminate Conservatorship, For Accounting, And Other Relief: “Michael was falsely advised by the Tuohys that because he was over the age of eighteen, that the legal action to adopt Michael would have to be called a “conservatorship” but it was, for all intents and purposes, an adoption.”
Nothing has changed on his part. He is literally saying the same thing so where is the lie? It’s nothing like an adoptive parents! They waived the Guardian ad Litem so who and what was the 18-year-old advised?
He knows, as a black man, no one will come out and call him a liar because they would be labeled a racist.
It's actually not "often" referred to as "white savior syndrome." It's referred to as such only by CRT and woke academics and their minions. The rest of us have NEVER used such slurs.
If a black family adopted white kids , I wouldn’t see it as “ black savior “ . I’d see it as good ! Give the kids a better life with a loving family!
Yep, it’s such a simple concept.
Adopt a dog or a cat, they will always be grateful to you.
Most of us just want to be good Human Beings ❤❤❤❤❤. Sometimes young people need to know they are loved, no matter what. 😊
@@joaopedrobaggio4475. And they won’t sue you? 😂
@@barbarabonnette2705 never.
No good deed ever goes unpunished.
Someone has gotten in Oher’s ear. Also, Oher made millions. Why is he counting someone else’s money?
Because he blew it all.
If you adopt a black child...racist. If you don't adopt a black child....racist. I'm confused.
LMAO. Exactly. What if white people only adopted white kids? It’s as if they want kids either aborted or orphaned. Anything else is “white supremacy”. Democrats know campaigning exclusively on “everyone else is a Nazi” cannot work forever. They’re squeezing every last drop out of it that they can though.
If you don't understand it..... racist. 😂
My thought too. What if a white family is now says, i can't adopt that child b/c he is black?
@@aldoabruzzi6417 for you to even insuiate I don't understand......Racist!!!!!!
If you are white.......racist!
Marcellus is an important voice today. His rejection of BLM (based largely on their desire the eliminate the nuclear family) was much needed a couple of years ago, and now this topic needs his take to be expanded.
Yes but to be relevant he needs to be brought on to discuss more than just the "black" topic of the day. If he disagreed with Megyn, he wouldn't be asked his opinion.
This man was very well spoken and made some very good points. What Michael Ohr is doing is wrong.
If Michael did what he is accused of doing, SHAME ON HIM! He was given a BLESSING and a CHANCE AT A LIFE & he SPIT ON THE FAMILY THAT GAVE IT TO HIM.
no.he was getting football scholarships before the rich family took notice. conservatorships can easily be used to strip someone of their money, possessions, and legal rights. the contract they put micheal under is extremely suspicious and heavy handed.
Why is Micheal Oher claiming this now is the question????? Shame on Micheal for doing this for only $$$$$$$. Let me tell you Micheal you have just showed who and what you are. May God help your soul 🙏🏼
He filed to terminate the conservatorship. Are you saying that he should have stayed in it?
@@katrinafisher7820 Tell us how the conservatorship was detrimental to him?? Whether is was guardian ad litem, adoption, consevatorship....whatever the legal structure was it produced the very best outcome for him.
He went on to obtain a college degree, earn approx 35mm in the NFL , wrote two books etc......of which he kept all the proceeds.....so how was it a detriment to him???? How did it hold him back?
Marcellus Wiley is a awesome man.
Here's a guy out of cash and he's not wanting to be a working man. He'll go after his parents to keep that from happening. This is what big money will do to ignorant people.
They are ignorant and yall are missing the point
we adopted a white girl out of foster care. Not all kids are better with their biological parents. Our daughter was tied to chairs, bound and gagged, starved and nearly drowned by her mother. She is now slightly disabled and will never be able to fully care for herself. If she was to go off on her own she would probably be sex trafficked and taken advantage of for her benefits. there's a good reason why parents sometimes need to handle their kids' finances etc
Ungratefulness is worst than Witchcraft!
He had me with his shirt with “Facts > Feelings”. Smart man.
That is 1 of the most misused and misguided statements of today.
Everything humans do ,say and think typically have emotions attached!
@@onceagain6184 True. But facts are more important. That’s what it means.
He is makes a good point great reporting MK 👍🏽🇺🇸
In my small community 2 white families adopted black children and no one thought any racial overtones what so ever! They actually had limited opportunities to adopt and these children were on the up for adoption list. It all turned out very good for all. ❤ The Children grew up with Love and good homes.
The problems they will face will be from other blacks in school and throughout their youth. I have seen this on a couple occasions.
Back in my high school days (early/mid 80's) there was a black kid who only hung out with white kids, he was CONSTANTLY harassed and it wasn't from the White kids.
He wasn"t adopted.
@@skynews6470Technically, he wasn't adopted, but he was brought into their home. Fed clothed and put in school and help him get into the college that he wanted to go to.... And if they hadn't done anything, he probably would have just been a victim of the streets.🤷
We are a white couple that adopted a sibling group of 3 brothers and sisters from foster care. They spent 6 years in foster care before us. The kids wanted to be adopted together, and the state agreed that was the best option for them. They are of Puerto Rican descent. We, and the state, would have preferred they be adopted into a Puerto Rican home. That would have been best. But there were no such families willing or able to step up an adopt them. So we stepped up instead. What was the option - to wait under the ideal family comes along, one that would have been the desired race? These kids were already 10 and 11 years old when we came along, had some special needs, and their chances were pretty slim. Most likely they would have aged out of the system. Frankly, if someone wants to call me a "white savior" - I dont give a damn. We certainly were not perfect parents, and I can assure you we made mistakes. But I can also tell you those kids were given a chance with us that they most likely would never have been given. Call me names if you want - but the only judge whose opinions matter to me are Gods.
Your situation is not like Michael. They met him at 16 1/2. He didn't move in until 17. They were NEVER even legal foster parents. At 18 1/2 the pursue the conservatorship.
What a "Bonus" to see MW on the MK show. He's a great man with great stories and opinions. A seriously smart individual. He and Whitlock were a dynamic duo.
Michael Oher….read your book in 2012. You knew there was a conservatorship.
Let's go Wiley!
In twenty years, Michael Oher will be selling used cars and living in Section 8 Housing.
Google his net worth.
@@katrinafisher7820 It doesn't take long to run out of money
@@psycictree27Exactly!
Love Marcellus!!!❤
These same people complaining about that family helped someone would also complain about that family NOT helping them. A no-win scenario. I guess I may as well do nothing to help someone who doesn't share the exact same skin tone as me. This seems to be the world these insane people want to live in.
Where would Michael Oher be if it weren’t for the Touhy’s?
Exactly where he is today, a former NFL player. He did more for them than they did for him. They helped him because he was a football player.
If you really want to know the facts he was playing football before he met that family and was already attending the same school as their daughter.
They released a book immediately, making 100's of thousands of dollars. Publicizing their "adopted son" lie on their websites, which drew donations to their charity website. In 2010 they received a $200K donation from Alcon Entertainment an affiliate of Fox movies.
And they've been lying saying he's their adopted son because it makes them look good.
@@Liz-ic6jb 🤣
They provided a tutor for him for several years. He probably doesn't get into a good college without one.
Exactly. He never would have had the opportunities he got without them.
He was already being recruited by some of the top colleges long before the "family" got into the picture. So he would be have been more than fine without them. @@MsJimmysgirl
That shirt Marcellus Wiley is wearing is really very cool.
Briarcrest was formed to keep parents from putting their LITTLE CHILDREN on a bus, and having them BUSED across town. The Memphis public schools that were not forced to bus, integrated very nicely, as has Briarcrest. Many people were very kind to Michael Oher. What a shame he doesn't appreciate a thing done for him. As for him being portrayed as not bright - the Troy's did not write the movie script!
He tried to get $15M from the Tuohys before filing the suit!
I agree with “why now?”. Who is now pulling his strings?
Shame on Michael Oher. Thank you Mr. Wiley for providing such a compelling opinion
He filed to terminate the conservatorship, the documents are available. Are you saying that he should have stayed in it?
It was his story, his fame that made the film, why shouldn't he get a cut of the proceeds? If these folks were true to their claim of caring for him, and including him in their family, why would they cut him out? My parents adopted two Korean boys, and they are as much family as the other four kids.
@@katrinafisher7820I think they should have left his ungrateful ass with his drug addict mother! Lets see how far the carreer would have gone!
@robertrickett7816 They cut him in. And gave him the Money. They gave ALL. their Child equal shares. But recently the parents sold one of their businesses......and got a good sum of money. He wants THAT money.
@@TURQUOISEEYES why did the children get equal shares of the money when the movie was NOT about them?
It seems someone left was whispering in his ears so sad these lefties are so vicious!!!! Love always Kelli
I simply like people who are kind…..absurd, huh? ❤
Imagine taking in a kid, loving him, feeding, clothing and affording him a better chance at life and then getting sued by him even though he’s already a millionaire. Michael Orr just proved himself to be an absolute ungrateful person.
he has "assets equal to that" but I bet he has no liquid $$$ and THAT is what he's going after.
@@ridingtheroad185 As it stands, his share of the movie money was deposited into his conservatorship account. Legally, he is entitled to no more than that.
Boosters take in kids all the time. Love has nothing to do with it.
They made more money off him than they ever gave him. He was going to be a pro NFL player without them.
@@Liz-ic6jb they were multi millionaires when they so graciously took him in!
This is a sad thing for all loving people. ❤
Great points presented by Wiley. This didn't have to go down like this, they could have come together and discussed the problem and not make it public. Why make such a big deal over something that can be discussed over a moderator? I like that shirt.
Who is this man, he’s wise!
Where were the black parents looking to adopt (or conservatorship) Michael Oher? What does this say about them and their absence?
He knew they didn't adopt him! He said as much in his own book! 🤦
What about the case of VICTORIA ROSE SMITH a white child killed by her black adoptive parents, Ariel and Jerry Robinson???
I saw the film. I don't recall any black families queuing up to adopt Michael Oher.
And neither did the Toey's.
As I recall hearing recently, the family was simply trying to get him into any college program, the thought of money was a joke when they brought him in. He's now spent too many years rich and famous, and lost touch with real reality.
I would now be worried to do something good for a black person too much trouble
No one can of accuse you of being racist, can they?
I thought they made Michael look very intelligent,he didn’t learn the same way as other kids but he was very intelligent
Michael oher and his lawyers could be indicted for extortion
KLT. People are just people. Any decision made that considers the color of a person's skin is racist. People are just people.
Can’t we just love the kids no matter the Color of our skin! Ridiculous! Don’t know what’s up with Michael Oher but he needs to stop!
In love with Marcellus! Not only intelligent,smart but handsome to no end!
I'm loving this guy already.
Keep up the 'good' work Michael. Your divisiveness is commendable. Wake up people!
More important things to deal with in the country than this grifter.
I just think him being kept under a conservatorship all these years is weird. I get back then there was good intentions in helping him but now that he’s in his 30s and fully capable of taking care of himself there’s no reason for him to be under one. If it really was just we’re family they shouldn’t need a conservatorship to maintain that.
EXACTLY! They dud their part. They helped him.become a Proball player.....He should have done the REST himself!
Wiley is a great thinker
How sad.
Thank you ❤
I've always liked marcellus... Hes super well-educated, very articulate. And I love listening to his takes on just about anything. I think he might have gone to Columbia if i'm not mistaken?
So sad… he said in previous interviews he knew that he wasn’t adopted… they made no money off of him.. like them got maybe a couple hundred grand between the book and movie that was split between everyone…
He would have never gone to the nfl without them.. if anything he owes them if you want to do the math from the clothes, food, housing and tutoring they paid for… ridiculous
His wife is getting her money in order
Well where the hell was his black parents
The time for him to have spoke up was when the movie was out and it was getting all that Oscar love if it was not true. I believe Oher has probably received jokes and nasty comments for years that a "white family" has taken care of him and he is now falsely trying to show he is his own guy. But like Britney Spears, I do not think any adult that is competent should have a conservatorship on them. An adult can spend their own money as they like. Unless a person is brain dead in an ICU or in an asylum, no one should be managing someone's money like they are a kid. It is a ridiculous law that desperately needs revised.
Nope this people are ignorent as hell
It’s gonna be Hilarious when the Tuohys win this case and then sue these companies for slander and then these writers get fired.
nah i’m gonna bet the tuohys will lose hard.
This nonsense is a FAD and it will, like all FADS, FADE. I just dont know when
Was always a big fan of Marcellus the football player…..bigger fan of him as a media personality! Always has a great perspective!
❤ the guest Marcus and his Facts > Feelings shirt. Wise man.
Never help anyone again!! Ive been helping this homeless man, that is yes black, hes a veteran and we just tracked his family down!! But now im done!! Sad!! And im going to tell him today when i go to take him food at his camp, this is the last day!! Thank Michael ohre!!!
This breaks my heart!! Its a great movie!! Or it was!! What the heck!! How do you do this? Plain greed!! Its shameful!! Shouldn't he have to pay back all they spent on him!! Thats what the judge should do!! Reverse it!!
Great watch
Well, if the Left feels that way, then why the hell won't they leave black people alone???
Why do they tell black people they ain't black unless they vote Democrat????
Because there are more republicans and independent libertarians and they Democraps need the black vote. That's why they the demorats are allowing illegals in by way of a new voting block.
so, if they are better off with the black parents where are they?
Shameful
No good deeds
We are all gods children period no one is better than anyone else thats how i was raised and i was born in the 60 s
I think if the black dude didn’t get any money from the movie and the family made heaps, then that’s wrong.. and he should have received some recompense considering the movie is all about him.. and if the family did make him part of the family then it makes sense he gets something.. but it depends on how much the parents got.. but I agree, it should have been a private matter.. and if the dude chose the public option first, then that’s a tad weird..
I thought something was wrong with my screen for a minute. What is that brown thing hanging over Marcellus Wiley's head?
Lets not forget the gang stalking these people do with their gaslighting bullshit
It's got nothing to do with race, too white parents adopted you and it seem that you were ungrateful. You had alot of time to sue for money, the question is why now?
Segregation? Like the Congressional black caucus? 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
He was not their "third child". They immediately wrote a book about what they did, making more money from book and movie than they ever spent on him.
Fact: Mike didn't live with them until his senior year.
More facts in an interview with Mike Huckabee 13 years ago titled " Huckabee Interview With the Tuohy Family Who Adopted Michael.."
- The mother states he WAS NOT HOMELESS when she offered him a ride that rainy night.
- The daughter states "Mike and I spent a lot of time together before he became part of the family. I cheered and he was on the football team and we both did track. We were already acclimated before THE BIG PUSH to move him in."
Looking back Michael can see they had an agenda. Their websites stated Michael as their "adopted son" until recently.
Spires is a sad case. Nobody is saving anyone. It’s called love. She has no idea what it takes to adopt. These infants and children come with many issues. Whatever their origins. She’s so irritating. Thank you sir- pure ignorance .
People clearly missed the point
I loved different strokes.
Lol, so does she think it's better if black kids never get adopted, because it's better to grow up in the system than adopted by "evil whytes"?
Honestly I think it’s a really bad idea for a white couple to adopt orphan black children anyway. Too many risks and society is going to rake you over the coals for doing it. Not to mention we can’t ignore racial and cultural differences.
So they made millions of dollars off of him and the movie about their life and they didn't share it with him? Is that what I'm understanding.
It was proved back in November that each member of the family *(including Oher)* made $138,000. He is a liar.
Why didn't he speak up sooner?
It’s not white savior syndrome. I have some family friends who adopted children out of foster care. They were told from the get-go the chances of them getting a white child, if that is what they wanted. They would be waiting a long time because the fact of the matter is, there is not as many white children out there for adoption if you are adopting from foster care.
They ended up adopting two Hispanic children who happened to be half siblings.
But my point is, the vast majority of people who adopt a child, will adopt whatever child they can get regardless of their color
Personally I think he is just upset that what he had is a conservatorship and not an adoptiom. Meaning he is not eligible for any inheritance from the Touhys, all this is about money and greed.
I think the people around Oher had something to do why he wants to sue the Touhys
Liberal media what do you expect
Megyn always find a BLACK man. She knows who to come for!!!!!!!!!!
If you’re a rotten seed, no matter how much love you receive, mud will eventually come out.
Adopt a black child and lovingly raise them into a successful adult and you too may get "Kaepernicked".
This isn't racial but look at it as a grifter perspective. The person who wrote the book is a friend of the Oher. They portray him as an idiot and didn't know football. Next is they did lie to him on they couldn't adopt him. Next when did they made that book? Wasn't it when he was in College? So within a year of knowing him, they had a book lined up. Next is why have him go to the school they want him to go? Are they connected to that school.
He’s not suing the tooheys I thought
Honestly Micheal Oher used them and they used him. Seriously they took him in cuz of his raw talent in genes for sports. He wasnt living there and gifted a car and a tutor UNTIl he showed his potential in football. The reality is without them he wouldnt be in the NFL let alone graduate high school. Micheal Oher is prob dead broke. 35 million seems like alot but taxes, and a decade after your done playing its nothing. Did you see his wedding cake? 4 kids and a wife? 5 mouths to feed? Tuey's did have a court order which at 37 makes no sense. Mike wants to reqrite his story and make himself the hero. The movie does make him look like a stupid giant. Tueys each have more lines than him. Mike should be pissed about it. I hope he can get a new series where his truth can be told.
They should have left him in the ghetto
What is growing out of his head?
Just because his parents were crack heads, and they tried to help this young man!! I mean it showed that in the movie!! His mom was a DRUG addict!! Period!! She couldn't do what she was supposed to do!!
Megyn- still waiting on ur apology to Vivek!!
💜 MEGYN KELLY,😃 never HESITATE🙂wearing GLASSES when you needed not regularly. Because you look FABULOUS 😍
