Lawyers for Sean and Leigh Anne Tuohy say the couple intends to end their conservatorship for Oher, a former NFL offensive lineman and the inspiration behind the 2009 film, The Blind Side.
Good. Next step is for Oher to hire a forensic accountant and go after these crooks for everything they’ve stolen from him with interest.
The guy is 37, he’s an independent adult. But his finances are legally under the couple’s control.
This conservatorship stuff is so weird.
And he only found out a few months ago that he wasn’t adopted, but only in a conservatorship. Stinky stinky business,
The dude knew, he wrote about it in his book, and his story falls apart at least as far as not knowing about it until recently.
“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,’”
As for money, he was in the NFLPA, which should mean that he qualified to use their “qualified financial advisers” and the fact he hasn’t raised a fuss about anything money related except the movie, that leads me to assume they weren’t skimming off him. The whole thing is a fucking mess, but I am not convinced they did anything wrong nor am I convinced they are innocent. But, I think pubic opinion claiming they are evil is a bit premature since his book says he knew.
Funny how Lewis was a friend of Sean Tuohy before Oher came into the picture and now they’re all rich and have all benefited from Oher’s talent. Even the Tuohy kids! Don’t they all have jobs in sports related fields? They used him, plain and simple
