In the filing to terminate the conservatorship, he alleged that the Thouy family misled him for their own gain in portraying him as their adopted son. He asks for an accounting and has started seeking subpoenas to discover what was in the 20th Century Fox agreement signed over The Blindside and a subpoena to CAA, the agency which Oher alleges negotiated the movie contract on the Thouy families' behalf. Shortly after Ohers court filing, the Thouy family, through their lawyer, put out a statement refuting the allegations and alleging that Oher was demanding $15 Million from them in order not to place negative stories in the press against him. The Thouy family responded in court on September 14, 2023, arguing that the conservatorship may be terminated and that they don’t need to provide an accounting because this was only ever a conservatorship of the person; there was no estate and, therefore, no accounting. Finally, the Thouy family denies that they have signed contracts on Oher's behalf and states that the conservatorship was created only to allow Oher to consider playing football at Ole Miss without running afoul of NCAA guidance.

The fact that a conservatorship was allowed just blows my mind. I don’t understand how a judge or attorney didn’t stop this.

It's entirely possible that he knew he was in a conservatorship without knowing what a conservatorship actually was -- which, IMO, is the same thing as not knowing he was in a conservatorship.

In Michael’s book “I Beat the Odds: From Homelessness, to The Blind Side, and Beyond” on page 169, Michael notes “Sean and Leigh Anne would be named as my ‘legal conservators’. They explained to me that it means pretty much the exact same this as ‘adoptive parents,’ but the laws were just written in a way that took my age into account.”

The thing that immediately struck me about the conservatorship is that Oher would have no claim on the Tuohys' estates. If he had been adopted, he would have a claim to an inheritance as a son and sibling.

I maybe mistaken, but what I was understanding in Michael's filing was that they had made "conservator" sound like part of the adoption prosses.

I think that Michael was given the impression at the time because of his age that his conservatorship was the same as being adopted…the fact that he had no lawyer provided to him by the court to explain this action speaks volumes…so when he spoke about his conservatorship in his book he was most likely under the impression that a conservatorship was the term used for an adult adoption …that he was for all intents and purposes adopted … it wasn’t until 2023 when he came to the full realization what a conservatorship in fact really was

I am Switzerland until I see the numbers and the accounting. Show me the money trail. Numbers don't lie. If they are the hot garbage Michael accuses them of being, the money trail will show us.

The Tuohy’s blame Michael Oher for not setting up a foundation to receive $200k, but as the conservators they had all contracting authority for him. The conservatorship basically said he was unable to make these decisions for himself.
