Apparently, Michael Ohers “adoptive parents” didn’t adopt him at all. He just found out it was only a conservatorship (he doesn’t inherit from the Tuohys) that was created when he was an adult (they mislead him to think it was an adoption) and they used that conservatorship to enrich themselves with deals.
Pretty sad all around.
I’m about done with the human race.
Not surprised by peoples actions anymore regardless of the outcome of the case.
I always thought the story seemed kind of sketchy.
Well that took a turn for the gross and disappointing. I was a big advocate of Oher coming out of that draft but never watched the movie because it seemed like virtue-porn schlock
It was. Dear God was it ever.
On topic, what a shame of a story. At this point I don’t even want to hit the lottery to live the great life and have a ton of fun. I want to hit the lottery to buy an uninhabited island and go live on it.
I blame Sandra Bullock
Wonder how much of the $$$ received from the profits of Oher’s story actually went in Oher’s pocket.
So, Michael Oher is broke…
That’s ■■■■■■ up……like really ■■■■■■ up.
That seems really far fetched that they used Michael Oher as some kind of get rich scheme. Lying to him about the adoption is low though, really low.
but, but, but …Is it still OK to like Sandra Bullock?
I feel like this is probably way too crazy to preconceive. I’d be willing to wager their original intentions were honorable and wanting to adopt Oher. Probably the lawyer relative pushed them into the way of conservatorship most likely as a way of icing him out of their wealth to ‘protect’ their own kids inheritance
Then it’s an old story after that - Money makes people funny. They should have insisted he get a cut of the royalties from the movie
As an actress, Katherine Heigl has nothing on her…
Oher was butthurt ever since the movie came out. This seems to me like a continuation of that.
it’s also a bit of an ironic situation. One of his main contentions is that he’s not a moron like the movie apparently makes him out to be
But his main legal argument is that he didn’t understand a legal document he signed as an adult
We often trust our parents at the age of 18. I know I did. If they convinced him that he was family, he probably trusted them more than he should have.
