This is so crazy. Michael Oher was functionally illiterate when he came to the Thouy family. The Touhy’s daughter is a “ brain. She was taking honors and advance placement classes. She dropped those classes and, being in the same grade, took classes with Micheal so she could take notes and coach him. The Thouy family hired a tutor to help Michael. The Thouy family paid the taxes on Micheals share of proceeds from the movie and book “ The Blind Side”. Michael, because of the book and movie profited in the sale of his own book. I wonder who put the burr under Michaels saddle? https://www.historyvshollywood.com/reelfaces/blindside.php

"Michael Oher's conservatorship was terminated as his case against the Tuohy family goes forward. On Friday, a Tennessee judge ended the legal agreement, which was established in 2004, that gave the Tuohys control over Oher's finances. The judge reportedly said she was disturbed that the conservatorship was ever established.

"I cannot believe it got done," Shelby County Probate Court Judge Kathleen Gomes said. According to the Associated Press, she said that in her 43-career, she had never seen a conservatorship agreement reached with someone who was not disabled.

Oher filed a lawsuit against the Tuohys in August. The former Baltimore Ravens offensive lineman claimed he believed he was signing adoption papers, not a conservatorship agreement when he was 18 years old. The Tuohys took in the football star when he was in high school. Their story was inspiration for the 2009 film The Blind Side, which earned Sandra Bullock an Oscar.

During Friday's court hearing, Gomes said she was not dismissing the case. A lawyer for the Tuohys did not respond to Yahoo Entertainment's request for comment. However, the Tuohys previously said they did not object to the conservatorship ending."...
