Michael Oher, the retired NFL offensive lineman whose life story was the subject of hit 2009 movie "The Blind Side," petitioned a Tennessee court Monday alleging that the family who took him in never legally adopted him and only did so to profit at his expense.
The Hollywood version of the story is that Sean and Leigh Anne Tuohy made Oher, then in the foster system, a member of their family, which included two children. Oher went on to become a college and NFL star. But the 14-page petition filed in Shelby County, Tennessee, probate court alleges that the Tuohys deceived Oher into making the couple his conservators, giving them legal authority to make business dealings in his name.
