Sean and Leigh Anne Tuohy filed a response to Michael Oher’s bombshell lawsuit, arguing they ‘never intended’ to adopt him
. At the time, he “consented on the basis that doing so would make him a member of the Tuohy family,” but the document “in fact provided him no familial relationship with the Tuohys.” Oher claimed that he only learned in February of this year that the document legally allowed the Tuohys to make business deals in his name.Michael Oher and the Tuohy family are back in the news more than a decade after the release of the 2009 movie The Blind Side, which was supposedly based on their life.
When referencing the conservatorship in their response, Sean and Leigh Anne claimed that “the NCAA made it clear that the only way [Oher] could attend the Ole Miss [was] if he was part of the Tuohy family in some fashion.”The couple doubled down on their claims that “there was never an intent to adopt him,” adding that the “conservatorship was the tool chosen to accomplish this goal.”
The Tuohys also claimed Oher was lying about only recently finding out about the conservatorship, calling his timeline “demonstratively false.” However, Sean and Leigh Anne made it clear that they’re “ready, willing, and able to terminate the conservatorship by consent at any time.”
