Michael Oher Accuses Tuohys of False Financial Filings
Former NFL player alleges the couple failed to report $2.5 million taken from him, as legal battle continues over profits from 'The Blind Side'.
- Former NFL player Michael Oher has accused Leigh Anne and Sean Tuohy, his former conservators, of filing false financial numbers in a court-ordered account of the money they made from his story in the movie 'The Blind Side'.
- Oher's attorneys claim the Tuohys failed to report about $2.5 million they took from him in 2011, allegedly to invest while Oher played in the NFL.
- Oher filed a lawsuit against the Tuohys in August, accusing them of tricking him into signing papers that made them his conservators, allowing them to take millions from him while profiting off his life story.
- The Tuohys have agreed to remove references to Oher being their adopted son from their websites and public speaking materials as part of their legal battle over Oher’s finances.
- Oher's attorneys have asked the court to order the Tuohys to file a new financial account that is complete and honest, and to sanction the couple for willful failure to fulfill their obligations.
