[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]The Tuohy family statement lays out their position, and if it is at all true, this won’t be an especially good look for Oher.[/b]

No question that they’ve enhanced their $$ through the connection with him, which is gross.  It seems like this has been building for at least several years, they weren’t invited to his wedding last year, etc.

It will be interesting to watch this unfold in court.[/quote]

Their statement claims they received legal advice against adoption. This is a lie; there is nothing prohibiting adult adoption in their state. They also claim the profit from the book and film was small, and he received a share. Seems that will be easy to prove in court one way or the other. But given they're lying out of the gate, I'm not inclined to buy what they're selling.[/quote]

Wait. They were advised not to adopt, or they were advised that it was not possible to adopt? You claim the first one, but then accuse them of lying. But it’s not a lie in your own telling so I’m confused. [/quote]

Sean Tuohy: “Michael was obviously living with us for a long time, and the NCAA didn’t like that,” Tuohy told the Daily Memphian. “They said the only way Michael could go to Ole Miss was if he was actually part of the family. I sat Michael down and told him, [b]‘If you’re planning to go to Ole Miss — or even considering Ole Miss — we think you have to be part of the family. This would do that, legally.’ We contacted lawyers who had told us that we couldn’t adopt over the age of 18; the only thing we could do was to have a conservatorship.[/b] We were so concerned it was on the up-and-up that we made sure the biological mother came to court.”

This is NOT TRUE. He then stated he finds the allegation he would "profit off any of his children...insulting" and that they would continue to "love Michael" now like they did when he was a teenager (though they chose not to adopt him but merely to control his financial affairs to their benefit). Does ANY of this pass the sniff test?[/quote]

The rich white people associated Ole Miss are disgusting.[/quote]
