Michael Oher has been keeping his lawyers busy, with People reporting on a new legal filing this week claiming that Sean and Leigh Anne Tuohy had not shared any financial information with him in nearly two decades, with Oher alleging he “has been kept in the dark” the whole time.
Oher sued his puportedly adoptive parents — whose story was dramatized in 2009 Oscar winner “The Blind Side” — last week, alleging they never actually adopted him, but instead tricked him into signing a document placing him into a conservatorship.
He’s asking that conservatorship, which began when he was 18, be ended. In his new filing, the retired NFL player is seeking an accounting of his finances in order to determine how much money they’ve made from his name, giving the Tuohys a two-week deadline to comply.

Oher alleges that never happened. “[The Tuohys] have failed to file the first accounting and have failed to timely file a single accounting for the last 19 years,” Oher’s attorneys wrote.
