Sean and Leigh Anne Tuohy have spoken out against claims that they tricked former NFL tackle Michael Oher into a conservatorship instead of adopting him, and made millions off his name while he received nothing. Oher accused the Tuohy family of this, and more, in a suit filed Monday seeking to terminate the conservatorship. Oher’s story was adapted into the 2009 film “The Blind Side” for which actress Sandra Bullock won an Academy Award for Best Actress.
