The crude speculation comes days after a judge released the former NFL player from the Tuohys' conservatorship.
Retired NFL player Michael Oher is fighting a battle over his life story on two fronts: a clash in court with his childhood caretakers, whom he accuses of making millions on book and TV adaptations of his story, and now personal attacks from the author of that story.
Lewis also claimed that Oher, who played in the NFL from 2009 to 2016, was “not useful” on the football field until he met the Tuohys while attending a private high school in 2003. Before moving in with the Tuohys, however, he had been recognized as one of the top players in Tennessee.that the Tuohys tricked him into signing the conservatorship by telling him it was similar to an adoption and that it would make him a part of their family.
This is not the first time that Lewis has backed Leigh Anne Tuohy and Sean Tuohy, his childhood friend, while simultaneously questioning Oher’s mental state.in August. “They showered him with resources and love. That he’s suspicious of them is breathtaking. The state of mind one has to be in to do that — I feel sad for him.”
Lewis’ book was turned into a highly acclaimed 2009 film that earned actor Sandra Bullock numerous awards, including an Oscar. The story has been dubbed a “white savior” narrative, meaning it depicted the Tuohys as Oher’s rescuers without addressing other societal barriers, like systemic racism. Oher later wrote in his own book that the film unfairly portrayed him as “dumb.”Further, conservatorships are usually granted when a judge finds that an individual is not capable of making their own decisions. As such, this allows conservators to make legal, financial and other decisions for the individual.
