Yes he is lying to the extent he claims he thought he was legally adopted. They never claimed that.
Ever piece of media she puts out say they adopted him.
This is how we know the media manipulators are out in full force. We all know this. We all have heard this. What a pack of attention wh@ring con artists.

Her Insta description includes "Mother to 3 great kids." She is not Michael's mother, only his conservator.
Yikes. Okay, she sucks.

One article I read stated that because Michael was over 18 at the time, traditional adoption was not an option.
Have you read any of the posts? That is not true. They could have adopted him. They didn't but lead him to believe they did.

She refers to herself as his mother!
That is the Tuohy narrative, but it is inaccurate. It was perfectly legal to adopt an 18 year old. They didn't want to.
Why would they adopt an 18 year old who already has a mother? Not pursuing an adoption makes complete sense to me. What I don’t understand is why a conservatorship was required for Ole Miss.

Perhaps it was all a ruse by a good ole boy rich booster steering a highly prized recruit to the college and not the phony fairy-tale in the book and movie?

If they merely felt he needed representation to negotiate the agreement with the university, they could have just arranged for him to have his own legal counsel, no?
I’ve only seen the movie and remember a scene with an NCAA investigation. Would the Touheys be in violation of NCAA booster rules if Michael wasn’t a member of the family?

I think oher was probably irresponsible with his nfl money and is now looking to get some of that $200 million fast food money. Give me a break. So ungrateful.

They’ve been together for a long time, have four kids. Don’t think Tuoheys were invited to his wedding, so this may have been brewing for a while. I think the Tuoheys’ lawyer is also Brad Pitt’s. That means he’s a master of spin.
They wouldn't be working with Marty Singer if they didn't need this case spun.
100 per cent.

Also, separate from the Tuohys, the more insane issue seems to me to be that a court appointed a conservatorship for a perfectly competent black man, and then allowed it to continue past the age that it was supposed to, with no accounting from the conservators.
Yes, THIS! If they really thought of him as a son, that's what they would have done.

Interesting, and indeed. Singer is notorious: https://www.vanityfair.com/hollywood/2017/02/marty-singer-hollywood-lawyer
Oh, he's scummy. Telling that they're working with him.
Okay, this means you can't believe a single part of the Tuohy narrative being put out there now. Court proceedings should be interesting, if they don't settle (which I suspect they will).
