Everyone “defending” them here has said they might be jerks AND it was a mutually beneficial relationship. That’s just too much nuance for an Internet forum apparently.

Nothing mutually beneficial in the conservatorship. There was an extreme advantage to the Tuohys and they were terrible conservators. They didn’t even do their basic annual filing of finances. Even the Spears family had the sense to do the money filing.

They didn’t use it. So he can sue them for being jerks I guess? But he doesn’t seem to have suffered by playing for an incredible pro team and making millions.

You’re either being intentionally dense or flat out lying. Leigh Anne constantly talks about Michael and adoption. She talks more about Michael than her own bio son which is crazy because the Tuohy lawyer says they have been estranged for about 10 years.

Michael is a public figure. The details of his story with the Tuohys were made public in a book and film before Leigh Anne starting her speaking tour or whatever she does. This situation might be different if he was a private individual.

This. If there were any legal basis for this theory of harm, he wouldn’t have had his previous lawyers drop him.

The Tuohy's lawyer said that but there's no evidence he's been dropped by numerous attorneys.

It seems as if you believe all the Tuohy allegations against Oher but none of the Oher allegations against Tuohy.

I do believe what Oher said in his filing. I don’t agree he has any winning claims. He says he always knew they didn’t legally adopt him. He says they have profited on their story which involves him (legal and doesn’t entitle him to squat). He says they conservatorship is still in place but offers no evidence that the Touhys used it to take money from him.

In summary, even in his own words, the Touhys are clearly at an advantage legally.

They’ve used his NIL constantly for the past 20 years to promote themselves.

Is she not allowed to talk about her experience? She was there too.

The weird ass and unethical conservatorship they’ve had on him for nearly 20 years allows them to use his NIL.

But he’s within his right to ask the court to revoke it and further bar the family from using his NIL.

Where are you getting this?

Go back and read the terms of the conservatorship. They can enter into contract on his behalf at their sole discretion. Clearly this would be inclusive of using his NIL.

What I want to know: why did the Touhy’s break the law every year by not updating the court on the status of the conservatorship?

This would be an unconstitutional restriction of their 1A rights. It would never ever ever EVER happen.

Ever.

The Tuohy's are lying about Michael being adopted. I definitely think a judge can prevent them from making money spreading a harmful lie. He was never adopted.

Lies are protected by 1A and it isn’t a defamatory claim so, no. You’re just wrong.

Do you not understand what a conservatorship is? This is how the Tuohys were able to use Michael Oher's NIL while he was still playing at Ole Miss. Prior to the new NIL rules an NCAA athlete could not profit from their NIL so the conservatorship was the work around for the book and movie deal. He graduated Ole Miss in spring of 2009 but the movie deal was made in 2006 and released Nov 2009.

None of the speaking engagements require a contract with Oher so that has nothing to do with NIL. If there’s some car dealership with his face plastered on it that is paying the conservatorship and the Touhys are taking that cash, fine. But let’s see the evidence that the right to enter into contracts matters.

I’m also completely underwhelmed by the unfiled paperwork. That’s hardly unusual when a trust, conservatorship, corporation, estate, etc has gone defunct. It’s not the smoking gun you seem to think.

But it hasn’t been used since that time. Nothing they have done since the movie involves his NIL in the sense of him needing to sign away rights.

Again he is under a conservatorship. His NIL rights were already signed away to the Tuohys since 2004. LA Tuohy goes on speaking tours saying she is the adoptive mother of Michael Oher and the mother from the Blind Side. She's definitely using his NIL which is why the links to her speaking fees has been scrubbed.

He is rightfully asking her to stop calling herself his adoptive mother when she is not.

There's an income limit. It's currently $263,000 and was likely much lower back in 2004. They routinely claim to be very independently wealthy and likely exceeded it and wouldn't be eligible to claim it.

Nah. The Tuohys who never filed the expected paperwork regarding the conservatorship better come up with some answers.

Did you read the conservatorship papers? It spelled out that he had no mental or physical defects or disabilities yet they allowed the false narrative that he is intellectually disabled. It also allowed them access to all his medical information all this time. Creepy.

Let’s talk about why they never ended the conservatorship. It gave them control over every facet of his life. They have access to all his medical info. The amount of control they gave themselves was unnecessary even then when Michael was 18. This speaks volumes about them.

You have to go to court to end a conservatorship. Michael has to go to court to end it. Saying it again for the people in the back - Michael has to go to court to terminate this conservatorship. The Tuohys could have ended it at any time yet they didn’t.

What would happen if the Tuohys went to court to end it like normal people would have done? It would have gotten press and they would be exposed as the lying liars they are just as is happening now. I doubt they would ever petition the court to end it unless forced.

You can try and smear Oher all you want but the fact remains that Oher had to file to end this conservatorship and the Tuohys were never going to.

They can’t. This has been explained before. Him filing is exactly how it works.

You seem clouded by racism.

Funny the tuohys must not have good counsel. Here they are saying to the press they are going to end the conservatorship.

From the article referenced above

“Sean and Leigh Anne Tuohy intend to end their conservatorship for Michael Oher, lawyers for the couple said during a news conference Wednesday. “

“ Legal experts have said there is no basis for the conservatorship to exist. Sean Tuohy and the couple’s attorneys have said this week that the conservatorship was a means of protection for Oher to attend Ole Miss, the couple’s alma mater, and that the maneuver would make him part of the family. ”

That has become a scandal in its own right in Tennessee. Lots of speculation about their clout and corruption in that it was never noticed.

You’re either being intentionally dense or flat out lying. Leigh Anne constantly talks about Michael and adoption. She talks more about Michael than her own bio son which is crazy because the Tuohy lawyer says they have been estranged for about 10 years.

Not PP but no that injunction will not happen. You can’t stop someone from using your name the way they use his. Sorry. That is not NIL. Now if their kfc’s had Oher’s name then sure. But in a no -profit way, no.

On the accounting it is just going to say zero. That will stick.

The press this has gotten is going to end their abuse of his story/name. No one is going to pay or support them given the stink that surrounds them now.

This situation stinks so bad people want Sandra to give her Oscar back. Everyone involved has been tainted. I hope the Tuohys retire from public life completely but they are so narcissistic they won't.
