The Tuohy family paid Michael Oher more than $138,000 from the proceeds of the “The Blind Side” movie, according to documents filed in Shelby County (Tennessee) Probate Court, contradicting part of Oher’s lawsuit against the family.

Oher, in a court petition filed in August, said he received no money from the movie and that the Tuohys and their two children made millions of dollars off the movie rights.

But as part of the ongoing lawsuit, the Tuohys filed records with the court Wednesday showing they made payments totaling $138,311.01 between 2007 and this year.

After a 10% commission was paid, one-third of the net proceeds was paid to Oher, 37, the documents show. A check for $8,526.80 in 2021 and a check for $117.30 from 2022 have not cleared, according to the court records.

But as part of the ongoing lawsuit, the Tuohys filed records with the court Wednesday showing they made payments totaling $138,311.01 between 2007 and this year.

Why did Michael Oher sue the Touhys?

The Touhys took in Oher when he was 16 and homeless and provided financial support as he blossomed into a football star. Their relationship inspired the blockbuster movie that starred Sandra Bullock, which premiered in 2009 and grossed more than $300 million.

Missing from the movie: When Oher was 18, the Tuohys became his conservators after they and Oher signed court documents. The lawsuit filed by Oher asserted he was deceived into signing the conservatorship papers – which allowed the Tuohys to control his finances – and he thought the family was adopting him.

The Tuohys have said they had no intention of adopting Oher and, in court records filed Wednesday, said they spent tens of thousands of dollars of their own money on Oher while he attended high school and college.

Through their lawyers, the Tuohys have called Oher's lawsuit a “shakedown” and “transparently ridiculous.

What judge said about Michael Oher conservatorship

Kathleen Gomes, the judge presiding over the case, has expressed concerns.

An Associated Press report said Gomes was disturbed the conservatorship agreement was ever reached. In her 43-year career, Gomes said, she had never seen such an agreement reached with someone who was not disabled, according to the Associated Press.
