Oher of ‘Blind Side’ Seeks to End Tuohys’ Profiting Off Him

Michael Oher, the central figure in “The Blind Side” legal saga over his relationship with a Tennessee couple he wrongly believed adopted him, is asking a judge to stop that couple from profiting off his name, image, and likeness, according to a motion filed by his legal team Tuesday and obtained by Bloomberg Law.

Oher’s journey from homeless teen to NFL first-round draft pick inspired the Oscar-winning movie that portrayed how Sean and Leigh Anne Tuohy housed Oher, made him their son, and helped catapult him to success.
