- The Tuohy family has provided evidence of payments made to Michael Oher from 'The Blind Side' profits, contradicting Oher's lawsuit claims of non-payment. Court documents reveal payments totaling $138,111 made between 2007 and 2023.
- Oher had previously accused the Tuohys of duping him into signing a conservator agreement, giving them control of his name, image and likeness, and claimed he never received any compensation from the movie.
- The Tuohys insist they never received any money as conservators on behalf of Oher and never had control over any funds or any deals during a conservatorship that was terminated in September.
- The Tuohys also claim they spent thousands of dollars of their own money to support Oher during his high school and college years, arguing they acted both ethically and generously.
- Oher, in his recent book, disputes the portrayal of the Tuohys as his adoptive family and claims his success was due to his own efforts, not their support.
