Michael Oher Now: Judge Ends Tuohy Family’s Conservatorship
On September 29, a Tennessee judge ended a conservatorship agreement between former pro football player Michael Oher and the Tuohy family, who became Oher’s guardians in high school. Oher had filed a court petition against Sean and Leigh Anne Tuohy in August alleging that they never formally adopted him and instead tricked him into signing a document making them his conservators less than three months before he turned 18 in 2004.

The movie, written and directed by John Lee Hancock, traces Oher’s journey from homeless teenager to Division I All-American left tackle for Ole Miss. Bullock won an Oscar for her performance in the Best Picture–nominated film.
A smash hit that made over $300 million at the box office, The Blind Side took some liberties with the particulars of Oher’s life story.
