Two weeks ago retired football player Michael Oher, subject of the film 'The Blindside', accused Sean and Leigh Ann Tuohy of tricking him into an adult conservatorship instead of adopting him [click here if you missed that].
Now the Tuohy's have agreed to end the conservatorship...
From NY Post
The family who took in former NFL star Michael Oher, inspiring the Oscar-nominated film “The Blind Side,” plan to end their conservatorship — which he’s challenging in court, claiming they duped him out of millions of dollars.
Sean and Leigh Anne Tuohy will enter into a consent order to end the conservatorship, their lawyer Randall Fishman said at a news conference Wednesday.
Oher, 37, claimed the conservatorship allowed the Memphis couple to retain legal power over him and that they made millions from “The Blind Side” — which grossed $300 million at the box office — while didn’t get a cent.
Oher sought to have the conservatorship ended and asked for a full accounting of the money earned off the use of his name, including the blockbuster 2009 flick starring Sandra Bullock and the novel that inspired it.
