Michael Lewis, the author of "The Blind Side: Evolution of a Game" which chronicled the upbringing of NFL lineman Michael Oher, said the Super Bowl champion’s lawsuit against the family who took the player in was "shocking" to him.

Lewis talked again about Oher’s lawsuit against Sean and Leigh Anne Tuohy and the player’s fight to end the conservatorship and recoup money he alleged he is owed from the movie.

"Michael Oher accused the Tuohys of stealing his movie money. It’s shocking to me that he did that, because I know it’s not true," Lewis said in an interview with GQ Magazine published Thursday. "And it’s heartbreaking because I did move into Michael’s life. I spent lots of time with him, and he felt loved and he loved them. And I don’t know what happened.

"These aren’t novels. The people continue to live. And so that’s the story I wrote, and it feels like it’s embalmed and bottled and captured in time. It’s what happened. And Michael Oher was really happy with it. He didn’t like the movie, but the movie is different than the book."

Lewis said he did not have any problem with Oher being upset with how he was portrayed in the film, which garnered a Best Picture nomination at the Oscars and Sandra Bullock a Best Actress award for her portrayal of Leigh Anne Tuohy.

"I have a problem with him accusing people of stealing money from him when all they did was give him money," Lewis said.
