The Tuohys, the couple accused by Michael Oher of tricking him into a conservatorship and taking all the profits from the movie 'The Blind Side', filed a legal response denying the allegations. They stated that the proceeds from the movie were divided evenly among themselves, their two children, and Oher. The couple also claimed to have received a $200,000 donation to their foundation from the film's proceeds. They denied ever telling Oher they planned to adopt him but acknowledged using the term 'adopt' in a colloquial sense. The Tuohys became Oher's conservators so he could play college football at the University of Mississippi. Oher filed a petition asking for the termination of the conservatorship and a full accounting of the money earned using his name.
