You're saying he should be grateful that they lied to him and cheated him out of money?

Again --- yet to be proven they lied. In his bio he described it as a conservatorship. They are saying he got his money.

So the book, the ghostwriter, describes it as a conservatorship….. think about it. It’s not a stretch to think that he hardly knew the really detailed contents of the book.

+1

How much of the book did he actually “write”? Any?

As a practical matter, if your legal claim is significantly based on “I didn’t know X” and your autobiography says “X”, it’s going to be tough sledding for you. What, his ghostwriter was in on it? Any reasonable observer should, based on this evidence alone, conclude that the most likely scenario is that Oher is full of BS. Maybe not, but that’s the smart way to bet at this point, for those who need to have a view on the question.

and it's so humorous that most of us disagree with you and believe the Toueys are full of bs. Thanks Singer Slinger for telling us how we should "bet" on this.

The Toueys are fake creeps.

Sure they probably are. Certainly patting your multi millionaire self on the back so much and so publicly for taking in a homeless kid is pretty ridiculous.

But they didn’t rip off Oher. He wants their fast food money. Can you point to even one financial document that shows they made even a million off of him? The SEC filings show they made $200 million off the fast food franchise sales. The 501c3 charity records show they drew no income from the foundation. The movie studio records show the family got $700k total over 10+ Years which they claim was split but even if not that’s not big $$ for either family. So where is the actual evidence they made millions off him? And how would they have planned that when he was a teen? If he was just a business for them then so far he’s been their worst investment.

How much money is on the foundation? How much coming in and going out a year? What’s the overhead and administration expenses? Nonprofit isn’t just about taking salaries, for many it’s to dodge taxes, leasing racket, influence, seek favor, and swing grants to cronies.

I literally posted the link. It’s less than 200k a year. This family is a hundred millionaire fast food franchise family. You think people went to their Taco Bell’s because they knew about Oher? They pay more in taxes than they ever earned from this kid. They helped bring him into the big leagues. He thinks he deserves more from them while at the same time hating them I guess. Im sure they are annoying and certainly full of themselves but that doesn’t mean they owe him their franchise money. Probably has people around him telling him he’s a victim somehow. good way to lose his spot in the will.

This is where you are wrong. If they had adopted him, then in most people’s view he would be entitled to a share of their estate. I realize the relationship went sour and no one owes their kid an inheritance but it’s also clear the breakdown occurred over the non-adoption.

I think a lot of folks find it disgusting that they touted his adoption but obviously avoided that route to ensure he wasn’t part of their estate. That really undermines what an adoption is and doesn’t sit well with me personally. If they adopted him, he is a full fledged member of their family. But it sounds like, despite their talk about adoption, that’s not really what they wanted.

But you can legally disinherit your kid(s).

They aren't dead so why would he get a part of their estate now? Wouldn't the normal course be to contest the will after their deaths when he found out he inherited nothing?

But they don’t need to worry about any of that messiness if they never adopted him. The point if that despite their claims, they never really wanted him to be a full fledged member of their family.

May be current lawsuit isn’t about adoption but it’s pretty clear we are finding out that they never adopted him now because it is a big deal. And it should be. They propagated a lie for years to make themselves look good, but they never really wanted him to be a full legal member of their family. I realize you don’t think that is f’ed up but a lot of people do. That’s why the family looks so bad right now.

He doesn't seem to want to be a part of their family either. So, what's the problem?

I have to say PP, that doesn't change how I view the family. The fact they brought him into their home/lives before he played football tells me that they are better than 99.99% of people out there including you and me, most likely.

As a practical matter, if your legal claim is significantly based on “I didn’t know X” and your autobiography says “X”, it’s going to be tough sledding for you. What, his ghostwriter was in on it? Any reasonable observer should, based on this evidence alone, conclude that the most likely scenario is that Oher is full of BS. Maybe not, but that’s the smart way to bet at this point, for those who need to have a view on the question.

and it's so humorous that most of us disagree with you and believe the Toueys are full of bs. Thanks Singer Slinger for telling us how we should "bet" on this.

The Toueys are fake creeps.

Sure they probably are. Certainly patting your multi millionaire self on the back so much and so publicly for taking in a homeless kid is pretty ridiculous.

But they didn’t rip off Oher. He wants their fast food money. Can you point to even one financial document that shows they made even a million off of him? The SEC filings show they made $200 million off the fast food franchise sales. The 501c3 charity records show they drew no income from the foundation. The movie studio records show the family got $700k total over 10+ Years which they claim was split but even if not that’s not big $$ for either family. So where is the actual evidence they made millions off him? And how would they have planned that when he was a teen? If he was just a business for them then so far he’s been their worst investment.

How much money is on the foundation? How much coming in and going out a year? What’s the overhead and administration expenses? Nonprofit isn’t just about taking salaries, for many it’s to dodge taxes, leasing racket, influence, seek favor, and swing grants to cronies.

I literally posted the link. It’s less than 200k a year. This family is a hundred millionaire fast food franchise family. You think people went to their Taco Bell’s because they knew about Oher? They pay more in taxes than they ever earned from this kid. They helped bring him into the big leagues. He thinks he deserves more from them while at the same time hating them I guess. Im sure they are annoying and certainly full of themselves but that doesn’t mean they owe him their franchise money. Probably has people around him telling him he’s a victim somehow. good way to lose his spot in the will.

This is where you are wrong. If they had adopted him, then in most people’s view he would be entitled to a share of their estate. I realize the relationship went sour and no one owes their kid an inheritance but it’s also clear the breakdown occurred over the non-adoption.

I think a lot of folks find it disgusting that they touted his adoption but obviously avoided that route to ensure he wasn’t part of their estate. That really undermines what an adoption is and doesn’t sit well with me personally. If they adopted him, he is a full fledged member of their family. But it sounds like, despite their talk about adoption, that’s not really what they wanted.

They aren't dead so why would he get a part of their estate now? Wouldn't the normal course be to contest the will after their deaths when he found out he inherited nothing?

But they don’t need to worry about any of that messiness if they never adopted him. The point if that despite their claims, they never really wanted him to be a full fledged member of their family.

He doesn't seem to want to be a part of their family either. So, what's the problem?

And why do you think that is? You know it’s been 20 years right?

You're saying he should be grateful that they lied to him and cheated him out of money?

Again --- yet to be proven they lied. In his bio he described it as a conservatorship. They are saying he got his money.

So the book, the ghostwriter, describes it as a conservatorship….. think about it. It’s not a stretch to think that he hardly knew the really detailed contents of the book.

not about adoption, it's about money they have that Oher wants

May be current lawsuit isn’t about adoption but it’s pretty clear we are finding out that they never adopted him now because it is a big deal. And it should be. They propagated a lie for years to make themselves look good, but they never really wanted him to be a full legal member of their family. I realize you don’t think that is f’ed up but a lot of people do. That’s why the family looks so bad right now.

I have to say PP, that doesn't change how I view the family. The fact they brought him into their home/lives before he played football tells me that they are better than 99.99% of people out there including you and me, most likely.

But that’s not what happened. You know that right? Several people have already discussed the movie was not the same as real life. I am not saying the family is horrible, but their motives were not purely altruistic and they peddled a lie for 20 years. Why do you think they did that?

Yes it's been 20 years. And everyone is much better off than they were. It was a mutually beneficial arrangement. Why should we care about millionaires fighting over who got bigger crumbs?

Really? I don’t care about the movie. I care about the lies they peddled about adoption for years in interviews, in bold and one their website. My references to the movie was to combat PP’s beliefs about how they met Michael. You are getting way too worked about about this and your refusal to acknowledge the lies surrounding adoption are f’ed up. Adoption is an issue close to my heart and my family and I (and others) have every right to be offended when someone makes up claims about adoption.

"Your new new e-book, Making It Happen, is out just in time for National Adoption Awareness Month. What inspired you to write it?

I wanted everyone to realize that yes—adopting a 6′ 6″ 350 pound African-American young man is a wonderful thing. [Her adopted son is Michael Oher, formerly a homeless teen, who is currently left tackle for the Baltimore Ravens.] If you have the resources and ability to do that, you should. There are 400,000-plus kids in foster care waiting to be adopted. But there are other things you can do as well to make a difference. My new book tells you how you can be a giver. It talks about really turning around and realizing that the view behind you is a whole lot different from the view in front of you."

Wow , what kind of monster would use publicity to encourage people to adopt kids from foster care. Wonder how she sleeps at night. /s
