Tuohys Accuse 'Blind Side' Inspiration Michael Oher of $15M Extortion Attempt

The counterclaim follows Oher's lawsuit alleging the Tuohys exploited his story for financial gain.

Sean and Leigh Anne Tuohy, the couple who inspired the film 'The Blind Side', have accused former NFL player Michael Oher of attempting to extort $15 million from them.
Oher, who lived with the Tuohys as a teenager, had previously filed a lawsuit against the couple, claiming they never legally adopted him and made millions off his story.
The Tuohys have denied Oher's allegations and have now filed court documents alleging that Oher threatened to publicly claim he was robbed if they did not pay him.
The Tuohys' court filing also seeks to deny Oher's motion for a temporary injunction that would prevent them from using his name and likeness.
The case continues, with a Tennessee judge stating she would end the conservatorship but not dismiss the financial aspect of the case.
