[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Just read an article where Leigh Anne mentions Michael is very frugal and you can tell from his instagram that he’s not a flashy guy. His clothes don’t even look overly luxurious. I have no reason to believe he is doing this because he ran out of money. I truly believe after getting married he wanted to tie up some legal ends and all of this information (or lack of) came to his attention. He has every to ask for his financial documents from his conservators. The Tuohys neglected to provide them to the court for almost 20 years. [/quote]

I suspect it all stemmed from a core emotional issue--coming to realize he wasn't really a part of the family, which then led to suspicion about finances etc. I feel for him. The Tuohys could have been transparent. Why weren't they? No excuse for them to fail to provide the annual accounting required by law.[/quote]

This is the million dollar question![/quote]

Why didn't Oher ask the court to end the conservatorship years ago? He was in the NFL. He's worked with lawyers before. Why did he wait so long? He knew in 2011. [/quote]

I am one degree of separation from this family. The answer is: they told him that "conservatorship" is how older kids/teens get adopted. They said, over and over in both his presence and in the press, that they had adopted him by setting up the conservatorship. Tuohy parents knew all along that this was absolutely not the case- that conservatorship meant control over, for the purposes of getting certain outcomes that they wanted, like his agreeing to go to Ole Miss. (I am quite sure that they never had a thought about controlling or getting his football money- they are the furthest thing from needing more money.)

Certain things happened in the past 3-5 years that made him more aware that he was not thought of as "a part of the family" in any sense other than superficially and for image. Now he is seeking to get all the details of the past agreements and actions revealed and explained. I say it is about time. But it took this long for him to really see behind the fake stories.[/quote]

I’m guessing once Oher started having his own children (his son born in 2013) he realized how differently he is treated from Collins and SJ. Of course I’m speculating but growing up makes you look at things differently and more critically. He doesn’t need the Tuohys for anything at all so he’s looking at them with a fresh pair of eyes. A lot of adults go through this with their biological parents as well, the big difference here is the Tuohys aren’t his parents at all even through adoption. A conservatorship does not make a family. They were in control of his finances and legal affairs and that’s it. They were Ole Miss boosters who got what they want. They are also Christian fanatics who got to promote their religion. This is an unfortunate wake up call for a guy who had such a rough start in life. I hope he can heal and grow from this betrayal with his real family. [/quote]
