Michael Oher, the subject of the hit 2009 movie The Blind Side, has alleged that a central part of his story — that he was adopted by a wealthy family — is false. Instead of adopting him, he said, the Tuohy family established a conservatorship, in which they profited from his name, image and likeness.
Oher, 37, filed a petition Monday in the Shelby County, Tenn., probate court asking for the conservatorship to be dissolved.
