Ethan Shanfeld Michael Lewis, the author of “The Blind Side,” has responded to Michael Oher’s accusations against Sean and Leigh Anne Tuohy.
Oher, the NFL star at the center of “The Blind Side,” alleged that the Tuohys cut him out of profits from the Oscar-winning movie adaptation and never actually adopted him, instead tricking him into making the couple his conservators.
In an interview with The Washington Post, Lewis denied Oher’s claim that the Tuohys made millions off of the film while Oher was uncompensated. “Everybody should be mad at the Hollywood studio system,” Lewis said. “Michael Oher should join the writers strike.
It’s outrageous how Hollywood accounting works, but the money is not in the Tuohys’ pockets.” Lewis told The Washington Post that 20th Century Fox paid $250,000 for the rights to “The Blind Side,” which the author apparently split 50-50 with the Tuohy family.
