Oher claims the Tuohys continue to “perpetuate false claims that they adopted him” including listing him as their 'adopted son' on their website, per the filing
Michael Oher is requesting Leigh Anne and Sean Tuohy stop calling themselves his adoptive parents now that their conservatorship over him has been terminated.
The retired NFL star, whose life inspired the Oscar-nominated film The Blind Side, has filed a motion to prevent the couple from commercially using his name, image and likeness alongside claims that they “adopted” him or are his “adoptive parents,” according to a filing obtained by PEOPLE.
Oher previously claimed in a petition to terminate his conservatorship filed in August that the Tuohys lied about adopting him and instead tricked him into making them his conservators when he was 18. He alleged they told him there was no consequential difference between being adopted and entering into a conservatorship.
In the court documents filed on Nov. 14 in the probate court of Shelby County, Tenn., Oher claimed that the Tuohys are continuing to “perpetuate false claims that they adopted him” including listing Oher as their "adopted son" on their website and continuing to “book events” as Oher’s adoptive parents “without his consent.”
