Michael Oher has received over $138,000 in 'The Blind Side' proceeds from Tuohy family, court documents show

Court documents in Tennessee show that Michael Oher, the inspiration for "The Blind Side," was paid over $138,000 by the Tuohy family in proceeds from the 2009 film.

Oher alleged in a petition in August that he discovered in February he was never legally adopted by Sean and Leigh Anne Tuohy and was tricked into entering a conservatorship after his 18th birthday.

The former NFL offensive lineman said the family allegedly negotiated a deal that paid them each, including the Tuohys' two birthchildren, a significant amount plus a percentage in royalties for the film, which grossed $330 million. The filing also alleges that another contract purportedly signed by Oher in 2007 signed away his rights to his story "without any payment whatsoever."

The family, however, said in August they gave Oher "an equal cut of every penny received" from the movie, and earlier this week, they offered proof that they did, in fact, pay the now-37-year-old.

The family filed records on Wednesday that showed they paid Oher a total of $138,311.01 from 2007 to 2023.

There were a total of 10 payments from June 8, 2007, to April 17 of this year — the most recent payment was $8,480.10

The Wednesday filing says the Tuohys "have never received any money as conservators" of Oher and "never had any control of (his) funds…during the entire term of the conservatorship."
