The former NFL player speaks out for the first time since filing a lawsuit against the Touhy family, who took him in as a teenager, which inspired the 2009 Oscar-nominated film, “The Blind Side.”

Michael Oher is an ungrateful POS!!!!! He would be nothing without all of the help the Touhys gave him.
Imagine owning several Taco Bells (if that's even true) and then feeling the need to do this to someone. I guess filthy rich people never really stop wanting more.
Shut up… lucky he's not in africa starving
Looking for money… He didn't mind the free rent and food clothes and vehicles
You know, some people are never satisfied.
So Michael was homeless in High School. The Touhy's gave him a home, got him into a private school and took care of all his medical needs gave him a car and a tutor for High School and College years.. Once the movie was made the Touhy's pay outs from the movie were made in equal shares to all the family members..Michael not happy with the payouts made these audacious claims that he himself, contradicts in his own book..Please tell the correct story
Man the name of the movie says is All!! The Blindside!! Boom got yiu
You can't adopt someone who is legally an adult. This was so manipulative. They may think they loved him, but you do not lie and manipulate people you love. They can twist it all they want, but this is some racist white savior BS. They probably were greedy and racist, thinking he couldn't possibly be allowed to make his own financial decisions, because he grew up poor and was black. It was a good movie, but it's forever ruined, because it was utter lies and abusive. I hope he's found love and support in his adult life with no strings attached, although that is more difficult once you are famous.
Is anyone really surprised 😮
White Savior make for great fiction. In reality we own you for the next 20 years. 😮

If michael was smart, he should have reworked the deal, or said im not playing ball till this is done
Oher made bad financial decisions and now he needs a pay day. What a slap in the face to Tuhey’s who did so much for him.
They changed his life for the good
I never liked that Sandra Bullock
The Conservatorship should not have been continued beyond graduation…
You think they're your family 😢
They didn’t need anything from him and didn’t take any money from him. No good deed goes unpunished
He's now broke. That's why he's suing them. So….they were right.
😩The "CANDYLAND" Plantation House Wins Again. The truth is the corruption within it can't be destroyed. 😳
Did the family receive money from his NFL career?
