Tuohy Family Paid Michael Oher Over $138K For ‘The Blind Side’

Nov 11, 2023

Michael Oher’s ongoing legal dispute with the Tuohy family — both of whom were depicted in the Academy Award-winning film “The Blind Side” — has developed a twist.

According to new court records, the Tuohys paid Oher over $138,000 related to the movie between 2007 and 2023 — contradicting Oher’s original claims that he was not compensated for his life story being the basis of the film.

A spokesperson for Oher said he had no comment on the most recent development.

The former NFL offensive lineman sued the family in August after learning that they had entered him into a conservatorship instead of legally adopting him. Oher alleges that they did this for their financial gain and his expense.
