The couple accused by retired NFL star Michael Oher of tricking him into a conservatorship shortly after he turned 18 and taking all the profits from a blockbuster film about his life filed a legal response Thursday in which they "vehemently denied" enriching themselves at Oher's expense.
In a four-page response to a petition Oher filed in Tennessee last month, Sean and Leigh Anne Tuohy said the proceeds from the 2009 hit movie "The Blind Side" were divided evenly among themselves, their two children and Oher.
"All of the Tuohy family including the petitioner agreed to this arrangement, where each party would get 20% of proceeds paid," the response said.
