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.

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.

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

He might not have understood what a conservatorship was, until Brittney went through all that to end it and it got publicized recently. I mean, I didn't even know that existed until I started following Brittney situation in 2020, and he was never dealt with as a conservatee in an obvious way where he might have taken a second look at it. On the other hand, it's possible the Touhy family was under the same lack of information and the lawyers involved were the ones at fault and being naughty to get him into their school. Someone needs to look at the lawyers. Just trying to look at all sides.

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.

Not the first time NCAA rules have only existed if you don't have the wealth to circumvent them. Very frustrating that the court went out of bounds to help them get around the rules.

Back in the day, redirecting money to non-professional athletes was common. This was a big deal. Any monies recieved could have disqualify him to enter any non-professional sport. This placed Michael in a vulnerable place. I can't stress the HUGE disadvantage non-profesional athletes suffered and the policing of any monies they recieved. Also the advantage of any opponent to disqualify a serious athlete was a thing

I only know some about how conservatorships work in California. You need orders ever other year to continue conservatorship. It's suppose to end if it lapses. How in the actual hell was there never anything on the docket as Emily states. There is also supposed to be a Court Investigator's report with every order to continue conservatorship. Yo Tennesse, do ya'll have no checks and balances?
