The Tuohy family allegedly paid Michael Oher over $138,000 for ‘The Blind Side’ despite his past claims
The Tuohy family filed new court documents revealing that Michael Oher was paid more than $138,000 for The Blind Side despite his past claims that he received nothing from the film.
“After a 10 percent commission was paid, one-third of this sum was given to Michael Oher by Sean and Leigh Anne Tuohy,” read the paperwork. “Checks for 2021 and 2022 have not cleared the Tuohys’ bank accounts.” The film, in contrast, portrayed Sean and Leigh Anne, both 63, as loving adoptive parents who took Oher in after he was unsuccessfully placed in a series of foster homes. The movie was a massive success, ultimately earning more than $300 million at the box office and scoring Sandra Bullock an Oscar for her performance as Leigh Anne.
Oher, now 37, was seeking to terminate the guardianship and earn a share of what the Tuohy family allegedly made from the film. His lawyers have since issued subpoenas requesting “all documents and communications” regarding the movie’s contracts and payments.
