Article by ESPN: Retired football player Michael Oher, who had been the subject of the 2009 feature film “Blind Side” has filed a lawsuit. He filed a court petition Monday that alleges the couple never adopted him and instead used a conservatorship to make business deals in his name. Thus he never saw any of the money made from the film about him.

    This story is so fucking wild. Yeah the conservatorship was sus as hell, but cant blame a kid (as he was at the time) for not realizing.

      Yeah, you can’t really blame Oher for not realizing that he was duped. He was 18 at the time, hardly an age when someone can fully understand legalese that is put in front of them.
