Michael Oher repeatedly demanded $15 million from the Tuohy family over "The Blind Side" royalties, and if they didn't ante up he would "defame them on social media and/or TMZ as 'fakes' and 'thieves,' according to new legal docs obtained by TMZ.

The Tuohys filed the docs in connection with Oher's legal claim he was allegedly screwed out of the proceeds from the movie. Oher has claimed the Tuohy's pocketed his portion of the royalty checks. The Tuohy's have said he got his fair share.

According to the legal docs, Oher sent a slew of texts alleging he was "robbed of fifty million+" and then lowed his final offer to $10 mil.
