The Tuohy family, who former NFL star Michael Oher has accused of deceiving him over the story at the heart of the film The Blind Side, say they are the victims of a “shakedown”.
In a petition filed in a Tennessee court on Monday, Oher claims Sean and Leigh Anne Tuohy did not adopt him – a central part of the movie’s plot – but instead deceived him into making them his conservators just after his 18th birthday.
