Tuohy Family Intends to End Michael Oher Conservatorship amid 'Blind Side' Lawsuit

On Monday, former NFL offensive lineman Michael Oher petitioned a Tennessee court to end the conservatorship he claimed he was tricked into signing with the Tuohy family under the guise of being adopted.

On Thursday, the lawyers for Sean and Leigh Anne Tuohy announced the pair plans to end the conservatorship.

Oher's petition read, in part:

"The lie of Michael's adoption is one upon which Co-Conservators Leigh Anne Tuohy and Sean Tuohy have enriched themselves at the expense of their Ward, the undersigned Michael Oher. Michael Oher discovered this lie to his chagrin and embarrassment in February of 2023, when he learned that the Conservatorship to which he consented on the basis that doing so would make him a member of the Tuohy family, in fact provided him no familial relationship with the Tuohys.
