A judge in Tennessee is ending Michael Oher’s conservatorship with the Tuohy family that began when Oher was in high school 20 years ago, the Associated Press reports. Shelby County Probate Court Judge Kathleen Gomes explained that she had never seen a situation such as this conservatorship agreement in her career.
“I cannot believe it got done,” she said.
In August, Oher accused Sean and Leigh Anne Tuohy of coercing him to sign a document that would give them control over his finances. That agreement was put in place when Oher was 18 years old and living with Tuohy family as he was being recruited by college football programs, and Oher is arguing that the Tuohys took advantage of his name, image and likeness while lying to him about their initial agreement.
