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.

Once again people there has been no actions under this conservatorship for at least 15 years. As someone said, you are confusing Brittany.

I'm not confusing anything with the Spears conservatorship. We don't know what the Tuohys have done with it and clearly you work for them if you "know" they haven't done anything with it. They're going to owe the court an accounting of it and are going to be more than embarrassed when they have no accounting, no documentation. Say they did nothing with it all you want, but most of us don't believe them. They lie far too easily.

Why in the world do you think they would have no accounting? They can easily produce paperwork. There is a paper trail for everything.

Why am I reading that none has been filed as is expected? You make up so much stuff. What happened to your claim that numerous lawyers had dropped the case?

There is no accounting because there is nothing to account for. I bet they never opened a bank account. It sure looks like they never took any of Ohrr’s money in. He may claim the movie money but it looks like he got it or it went into a trust for his kids. And the money never came into the conservatorship. In other words it was never part of it.

So their accounting will say nothing to a cou t for. He will say BS. There will be a hearing and Oher will be able to argue that they should have to account for movie money but nothing else. They will do that. If he knew about the trust for his kids and approved it, case over. I do think the family will be ordered to pay the cost of Oher’s lawyers as a sanction for not terminating the conservatorship. But then the case is over.

The main part of Oher’s filing to the probate court is that he is asking for discovery - records of finances, recorded use of his NIL, communications about his conservatorship, etc.

Oher (and his lawyers) don’t know what they don’t know. He is entitled to this information and the Tuohy’s broke the law by not proactively providing it on an annual basis to the court. This filing is just the opening of the case, as they will amend their complaint as more evidence is provided.

The Tuohy’s are clearly gearing up to fight disclosure every step of the way. Their hiring of Singer proves this. Why? Because there’s likely info that is potentially embarrassing and/or Oher is owed money.

Let them attest in court under the penalty of perjury that there is “nothing to account for.” That’s what Oher is asking, because anyone can say anything in the media (especially documented liars).

Ten bucks says they will fight like hell to provide Oher with any information.

We know because MO’s own lawsuit saying nothing about any actions except the movie. And he has entered into many contracts since the. NFL etc.

Let’s stick to the facts.

DP. Huh? How would he know what was going on with a conservatorship that he didn’t control? Isn’t the job of the conservator? Also haven’t you heard of discovery?

What facts??? Also just because the conservatorship wasn’t involved with the NFL contracts doesn’t have any bearing on whether it was run the way it was supposed to. Like is your argument “well they didn’t steal some of his money they didn’t steal any of his money?” That’s completely illogical

You keep saying this but are we supposed to take your word for it? What is the evidence? And if that is the case why wouldn’t they file a motion to dismiss the petition? All they have done so far is release statements and offer to “voluntarily” end it. Besides that aren’t there annual reporting requirements? What would you continue the hassle of either complying with that or paying a lawyer to fulfill those duties every year for “at least 15 years” for something that was completely defunct?

He thought adoption and conservatorship did exactly the same thing, make someone legally a member of a family. According to him, this is what Sean told him. I personally had never heard about conservatorship until Britney Spears, I doubt most people had.


The filing seems to be requesting a termination of the conservatorship and an accounting of how it has operated. I think this could have been avoided. I think they could have quietly resolved this with their lawyers through mediation. I don’t think Michael trusted the Tuoyh’s since the Blind Side movie (I hated it) and I think the Tuoyh’s felt insulted that Micheal was asking them questions about the conservatorship. I don’t think they set out to financially exploit him but ultimately this is what the wife is doing.

Since this story broke I believe we have only heard from Sean and the book’s author (a family friend) and according to them Oher has been demanding money otherwise he will go public with his story. Sean says he has family group chat from at least 2020. It also appears that Oher asked for an explanation about the conservatorship and how it has worked over the years and none was provided.

I generally I agree with you, but, this could not have been solved through mediation. The only way a conservatorship can be ended is by a court order. Either Michael or the Tuohy's would need to file a court petition to end the conservatorship.

I personally do not believe they set out to take advantage of him financially. They wanted him to go to Ole Miss. Maybe at the time, for the purpose of the satisfying the NCAA, setting up the conservatorship made the most sense for the Tuohys and their goals. The conservatorship never made sense for Michael's best interests. He was recruited by every major football program in the country. He did not need Ole Miss to get to the NFL. If making him part of their family was their main goal, they could have encouraged him to go to any other school and then taken some time to figure whether or not to adopt him. It isn't just the Tuohy's that were complicit in this. The judge and Michael's lawyer are also involved, IMO.

First Michael is failed by the system, then he is taken advantage of by the system.

I hope he is able to get a legal accounting of the conservatorship. It seems like it was not used, but I don't blame him for not trusting the Tuohy's at their word. He deserves a public accounting of the conservatorship.

Michael’s lawyer was a family friend of the Tougy’s. As with Britney’s case, it calls into question whose interest the lawyer was defending (not a free Britney person just saying these lawyers who are hired by the conservatorship are suspect).

Michael did not have a lawyer. The family had that lawyer. The court found he needed neither a lawyer nor a guardian.

This bears no resemblance to the Spears case. In the Spears case they controlled her life. Here they did nothing.

Riiight. They're going to make some stuff up.

"Make some stuff up." Is that how you think this works? Are you still wrapping your head around what "punitive damages" are?

They will try to lie their way out of this. Isn’t that their modus operandi?

This lawyer friend of the tuohys should never have agreed to the conservatorship as it is documented. No one actually representing his interests would have agreed to this. She’s a “interesting” character in this mess.

I agree that the specific nature of the complaint filed could have been avoided - but I believe that court intervention is needed to terminate the conservatorship. Additional details about the family's wrong doing could have been omitted.


What? Oh, you’re one of them.

You think Oher should just smile and thank them for profiting off of lies they made up about him. They’ve centered their lives and businesses around lies about him. What a f’ing entitled viewpoint you have. How humorous that you’re the arbiter of what is appropriate and you aren’t the aggrieved party here.

Lemme guess, you’re a fake Christian just like them.

You're not following the thread. I have no desire to support the Tuohys. The issue I am speaking of is whether a monetary settlement with a mediator could have resolved this. And the answer to that is no. All they could get by giving him money is a different complaint - he has to file one to get the conservatorship ended. It's as simple as that.

Your comment re leaving out the details of the family wrong doing caused my reaction. I’m sorry to have misunderstood your position.

Making those details public have achieved Oher’s goal of stopping them from profiting off of the lies they’ve made up about him. No one will want to pay them to read or hear more of 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.

Once again people there has been no actions under this conservatorship for at least 15 years. As someone said, you are confusing Brittany.

I'm not confusing anything with the Spears conservatorship. We don't know what the Tuohys have done with it and clearly you work for them if you "know" they haven't done anything with it. They're going to owe the court an accounting of it and are going to be more than embarrassed when they have no accounting, no documentation. Say they did nothing with it all you want, but most of us don't believe them. They lie far too easily.

We know because MO’s own lawsuit saying nothing about any actions except the movie. And he has entered into many contracts since the. NFL etc.

Let’s stick to the facts.

DP. Huh? How would he know what was going on with a conservatorship that he didn’t control? Isn’t the job of the conservator? Also haven’t you heard of discovery?

Actually I do and am an attorney. You think they entered into other contracts on his behalf that he didn’t know about when he was a grown man? I am not talking about the movie. They do need to account for that.

I don’t think the Tuoyh’s set out to disadvantage Micheal in anyway but too many people close to the Tuoyh’s were involved in this conservatorship…this just does not sit right with me. He asking questions about the conservatorship and getting rebuffed, and him refusing royalty checks and they putting them in a trust for the kids also don’t sit right with me. If everything is on the up and up and Michael ask for an accounting of the conservatorship why not just do it? If the accounting says nothing was done and he don’t believe, then at least you wouldn’t look like you were hiding something when he files his petition with the court. Also, why not petition the court to terminate the conservatorship then?

Guardianship attorney here (my state's version of conservatorship) - I serve as guardian of the estate (conservator of finances) for many people, via court appointments primarily, and accountings are filed with the court annually whether there's "anything to show" or not. The duty to account for finances is not only if you spend funds. In most states, fiduciaries over funds (including conservators) have an affirmative duty to diversity investments, for instance. the job isn't just to watch money rot away in an account and/or spend as necessary. It's also to treat the funds in the ward's best interest, which necessarily includes investment and accounting, regardless of whether there were expenditures. Super sketchy that they failed to prepare accountings and are resisting providing documentation of what accountings should have provided.
