Author Michael Lewis spoke about Michael Oher's lawsuit against the Tuohy family and said it was 'shocking' the former NFL player filed it in the first place.
Michael Lewis, the author of 'The Blind Side: Evolution of a Game' which chronicled the upbringing of NFL lineman Michael Oher, said the Super Bowl champion’s lawsuit against the family who took the player in was 'shocking' to him. Lewis talked again about Oher’s lawsuit against Sean and Leigh Anne Tuohy and the player’s fight to end the conservatorship and recoup money he alleged he is owed from the movie. 'Michael Oher accused the Tuohys of stealing his movie money.
These aren’t novels. The people continue to live. And so that’s the story I wrote, and it feels like it’s embalmed and bottled and captured in time. It’s what happened. And Michael Oher was really happy with it. He didn’t like the movie, but the movie is different than the book.
The family said they loved Oher like a son and provided him with food, shelter, clothing and cars while he lived with them. They denied saying they intended to legally adopt him. The Tuohys’ filing said Oher did refer to Sean and Leigh Anne as 'mom' and 'dad' while they referred to Oher as their son.
Oher was selected with the 23rd pick of the 2009 NFL Draft by the Baltimore Ravens, where he played his first five NFL seasons. Oher went on to play for two more teams in his eight-year career. Fox News’ Joe Morgan contributed to this report.
