Sean Tuohy is firing back at Michael Oher ... calling BS on all of the former NFL star's 'insulting' allegations -- while insisting he and his family made little money off of the success of 'The Blind Side.'
he never tricked Oher into getting into a conservatorship ... and he certainly didn't make millions off of it either.
"I sat Michael down and told him, 'If you're planning to go to Ole Miss -- or even considering Ole Miss -- we think you have to be part of the family,'" Tuohy said."'This would do that, legally.'"He continued,"We contacted lawyers who had told us that we couldn't adopt over the age of 18; the only thing we could do was to have a conservatorship. We were so concerned it was on the up-and-up that we made sure the biological mother came to court.
