Michael Oher is asking Sean and Leigh-Anne Tuohy to send a full account of the money that he allegedly earned for ‘The Blind Side’ film
— as they publicly said they had — and instead forced him into a conservatorship in 2004. The former Baltimore Ravens athlete is now seeking to terminate the guardianship and earn a share of the Tuohy family’s film royalties.
Sean and Leigh Anne, for their part, have denied Oher’s claims that they “tricked” him into the conservatorship.“They have consistently treated [Michael] like a son and one of their three children,” their attorneyin a statement earlier this month. “His response was to threaten them, including saying that he would plant a negative story about them in the press unless they paid him $15 million.”
Oher, who has denied their extortion allegations, is now claiming that Sean and Leigh Anne have failed to uphold their “statutory and fiduciary duties” to him for nearly two decades. Per the filing, the couple were obligated as conservators to file annual documents with Oher’s earnings, but allegedly have failed to “timely file a single accounting for the last 19 years.
“The only assets [Oher] possessed when this Conservatorship Order was entered were his great ability as a football player, which had already been widely publicized throughout the United States, and the obvious enormous potential that such fame had created to allow him to profit from his name, image and life story,” the docs read.
