News summary

Michael Oher, the former NFL player whose life inspired the film 'The Blind Side,' has initiated legal proceedings against Sean and Leigh Anne Tuohy, alleging that they exploited his story for profit without proper compensation. Oher claims he was misled into signing conservatorship papers instead of adoption documents nearly two decades ago, which the Tuohys have denied, asserting that he is extorting them for $15 million. In a recent interview, Oher expressed his dissatisfaction with how he was portrayed in both the book and movie, stating that it depicted him as unintelligent and helpless, which negatively impacted his NFL career by raising doubts about his abilities. He also shared concerns about how this portrayal could affect his children, fearing that teachers might judge them based on his public image. Oher's lawsuit follows the dissolution of the conservatorship last year, which has heightened tensions between him and the Tuohy family. Despite the film's commercial success, Oher argues it has led to significant personal and professional ramifications for him.
