Retired NFL player Michael Oher, whose life story became the focus of the 2009 movie The Blind Side, has alleged in a petition to a Tennessee court that a significant part of his life story, his adoption by the Tuohy family, was fabricated. The Tuohys are accused of tricking Oher into signing a conservatorship, granting them authority to make business deals on his behalf, rather than legally adopting him. The Tuohys, it's claimed, then profited significantly from the film royalties, leaving Oher with nothing.
