Michael Oher says The Blind Side was a complete lie. Here’s everything we know about what he’s saying

The Blind Side #TheBlindSide

The petition’s biggest bombshell alleges the Tuohys tricked Oher into making them his conservators, not adoptive parents, which gave them authority to conduct business on his behalf. Oher allegedly learned the truth about the conservatorship in early 2023, according to the petition, learning he had no legal ties to the Tuohy family. Oher alleges he has no memory of signing the conservator contract, and if he did, he did not have it properly explained to him.

More from ESPN: 

The 14-page petition, filed in Shelby County, Tennessee, probate court, alleges that Sean and Leigh Anne Tuohy, who took Oher into their home as a high school student, never adopted him. Instead, less than three months after Oher turned 18 in 2004, the petition says, the couple tricked him into signing a document making them his conservators, which gave them legal authority to make business deals in his name.
