Michael Oher, who was famously featured in the Oscar award-winning film “The Blind Side” and had successful playing careers in the NFL and at Ole Miss, alleged Monday that he was never adopted by Sean and Leigh Anne Tuohy.

Instead, in a 14-page petition filed in probate court in Shelby County, Tennessee, Oher claims that three months after he turned 18 in 2004, the Tuohy family tricked him into signing a document making them his conservators.

The petition claims that the Tuohy family used their status as Oher’s conservators to make millions in royalties off of the 2009 film, which Oher says “would not have existed without him.”

The start of it all comes from just outside of Memphis at Briarcrest Christian School, where current Auburn head coach Hugh Freeze was the head coach of the Saints’ football program, where Oher’s playing career as an offensive lineman got underway.

“I love Michael Oher,” Freeze said in a press conference Thursday. “He’s like part of our family. And I love the Tuohys. I think it’s sad. “I certainly don’t claim to understand all the ins and outs of adoption, conservatory, all of that. But I know what I witnessed, and I witnessed a family that totally took in a young man. And I think without that, there is no story.”

Hours after the news broke that Oher filed the petition, Sean Tuohy called the allegations “insulting.”

“We’re devastated,” Tuohy told The Daily Memphian. “It’s upsetting to think we would make money off any of our children. But we’re going to love Michael at 37 just like we loved him at 16.”

Per Oher’s petition, the Tuohy’s negotiated the film deal, which paid the Tuohy’s and their pair of birth children $225,000, in addition to 2.5% of the movie’s “defined net proceeds.”

“The Blind Side” went on to rake in more than $300 million in the box office.

Meanwhile, Oher’s attorney, J. Gerard Stranch IV, said Oher was never compensated for the movie, despite suspecting others might be profiting.

An official statement co-authored by the Tuohy’s and their legal team called Oher’s allegations “outlandish” and the latest attempt at a “shakedown” for money.

“The evidence – documented in profit participation checks and studio accounting statements – is clear: over the years, the Tuohys have given Mr. Oher an equal cut of every penny received from ‘The Blind Side,’ ” the statement read.

Given his ties to the situation, Freeze feels for both sides of the allegations.

“I know this, I know if Michael called Sean right now and said, ‘Let’s work this out,’ Sean and Leigh Anne would be there in a hurry to hug his neck and tell him he’s loved. I hope he feels that,” said Freeze, who coached at Briarcrest from 1992-04.

“Sean and Leigh Anne Tuohy did something that most families… a lot of us talk about doing things, but they actually put the shoes on and pulled the boots up and got in the arena and did something. I think that’s admirable.”
