The family who took NFL star Michael Oher into their home, inspiring the film The Blind Side, say claims they misled the player about his adoption are “outlandish, hurtful and absurd”.

On Monday, Oher filed a petition claiming that Leigh Anne Tuohy and Sean Tuohy placed him under a conservatorship, rather than adopting him, and have enriched themselves at his expense.
