Tuohy family responds to Michael Oher's allegations that they faked adoption for millions: "We're devastated"
CBSN
Members of the Tuohy family are speaking out after former NFL offensive lineman Michael Oher alleged that they earned millions from pushing a false narrative that they adopted him, the inspiration behind the 2009 Sandra Bullock film "The Blind Side."
Oher, 37, petitioned a Tennessee judge on Monday saying that he had never been adopted by the family, and instead was under a conservatorship. He alleged in court documents that the family convinced him to sign documents agreeing to the conservatorship in 2004 by claiming it was "for all intents and purposes, an adoption."
That signature allowed the Tuohys to "reap millions of dollars" off the 2009 film, he alleged, while he "received nothing."
