I love this lady. She is what America is all about. No nonsense, beautiful , loving to all gods creation . What a hero. Sandra's sure played your caricature spot on.
Seems to me like people have got to him and turned him against the people who gave him everything. I just watched the movie and it was great. Sad that it's turned out this way. Doesn't seem to me the family needs any money at all being multi-multi millionaires, what's a couple hundred thousand when you sell your company for 200 million. Lawyers and some greedy people are in his ears and they should be ashamed. That's what I think at least.
As a young brown male, I cry every time I watch this movie, these lovely people caring about a poor young black kid, such nice people, gives me hope every time a white person gives me a dirty look or calls me a name, i try to remember that there are good white people out there as well.
Jered Crawford fuck you, you dont represent the white race. Because some people are bastards doesnt mean their skin colour is the cause, that in of itself is racist. So go fuck yourself.
judassss I watched it last night, and it truly touched me. I've always been a 'giver'...even when I've had very little myself. I think we all need to stop sometimes and realize, as I always say.."There but for the "Lottery Of Birth" go I!" Please don't let hater's get inside your heart...and always know that someone DOES care!
13 years on.... John 10:10 (KJV) "The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly."
The Tuohy family is the perfect example of what it means to be Christian. People talk the talk. This family walks the walk. And I feel they would give their love and acceptance to anyone.
Turns out they fucked Michael Oher over lying to him saying the papers they gave him to sign were adoption papers when really they were conservatorship papers instead.
Leigh Ann fails to correct Stephanopoulos when he refers to Michael as her adopted son and she goes on to mention her "three children." Her webstite still refers to him in two places as her "adopted son." Nah, Leigh Ann, if he were adopted he would have the same legal rights to inheritance as your two actual children, unless you cut Michael out of your will, of course. But no need to do that, since Michael never had any legal rights as "family member." Only you had rights over your ward--a one way street. Totally illegal under Tennessee law to impose a conservatorship on an adult who has no mental or physical disability. Can't wait to hear more about how they pulled that off.
@@Whoeverheardof we will see! I’ve been reading all the info on this I can and the Tuohy son is claiming he has text messages where Oher demanded money to not go public with anything. Also, Oher released these allegations one week after his book launched. Oher is claiming he received no money for the Blind Side. Me. Tuohy has claimed Oher did receive royalties for the film. I think we’ll have to wait and see how that turns out in court. Maybe Oher is telling the truth and he didn’t get paid anything. Maybe not and he actually maid the most. The adoption thing was never the allegation because there has never been a claim of legal adoption by any party. That’s just the sensationalist title to get people talking in the news reports. The fiscal aspect is what the real accusation is.
As a black male, I kind of related to the people who felt they've seen enough of the "white savior" movie. However, that's what it is! So what! I'm more happy that this loving family opened their doors and their hearts and helped to save this man's life. I love this story and I love the family. They're all very special people that all can learn from.
@@joeking433 we all see the lie that he didn't get anything. He got everything and he is just greedy and ungrateful. Without this family, he wouldn't have gotten anywhere because his mother, his family, failed him. He was living in poverty and in a crack house. His bad background is not this family's fault, is it? What opportunity did he have without them? The imaginary one he made up in his house? He is ungrateful
@@amyrenee1361 The Tuohys used him. The were not good Christians, they were greedy scum who told him he was adopted when he wasn't really. They had him sign a contract giving them and their kids all the millions they got and he got NO money! If they don't repent big time God is going to throw them into hell! Part of that repentance has to be a large percentage of all the money they made off of him! Maybe they have no fear of God. Well, they'll see what that brings them!
Michael said the movie was a lie when it came out and I never trusted the Tuohys. They're sitting there patting themselves on the back when Michael was already doing good in school, was an All American high school player. All Michael need was a place to sleep. He couch surfed. He would've made it without these predators.
You have no clue what you're talking about! _"when Michael was already doing good in school"_ - even in his own book Michael published over a decade ago, even he claimed he barely showed up for class and his grades were dismal. The Tuohy family in FACT hired a private tutor for Michael who worked with him DAILY to get his grades improved just so he could go to college. Stop pushing nonsense!!!
the world would be a better place if we had more ppl like this.... its easy to just give someone money but the best thing sometime is to invest time with that person thats priceless i wish that one day i can do something as great as what this family does
Amazing story and very touchable. These type of stories are everywhere, we might hear some and might not hear the others but for sure they are lots of people who are like this. And oh yes sometimes meeting one person can change your whole life to either bad or good. And Micheal deserves to have a good life and I am happy she turned around to the right person and changed his life and instead of staying homless ending up in streets, now he has a warm home with a family that loved him not for money (coz he had nothing) but for him!!
A very inspirational story and the Touhy family does represent the best part of the Christian belief system, which is to reach out and give the love and support to those who are less fortunate . . . because you never know what the person who you give that support to can turn out to be.
If they were true believers of the word they would know what is done in the dark eventually comes to light. 5:40 they trying to make it seem like they had adopted him when they knew they had not. Don’t think God would be too pleased with that
@@covertpuppytwo3857 thats not the point. The point is that they had him sign papers that he believed were a form of legal adoption when they know that the papers gave them full control over his football contracts. They were clearly being deceptive
@@sidehustlevikki1066 According to who? Just Michael, who has also been blackmailing the family for $15million dollars for years! And I'll remind you that Michael himself knew it was conservatorship because the book he wrote in 2010 he says so 3 times!!! The conservatorship did make Michael family in the eyes of the NCAA, Ole Miss and the insurance company that the Tuohy used to pay for his health insurance!!! If you wish to believe that the man didn't know until he reached the age of 37 what a conservatorship means... that's on you!!! Saying they were clearly deceptive is speculative. Speculative in that the lawyers, the Tuohy family, the judge and Michael's own mother who was at the hearing all somehow deceived an 18-year-old who was living a privileged life that even most White kids never receive... and full access to an immense number of tools at his ready; libraries and the Internet but never once checked... You're either being deceptive or just plain gullible! Dean's list student but doesn't know what a conservatorship means... But let me guess... upset that the movie made him look dumb, but didn't know how google works?
@@sidehustlevikki1066 To control his football contracts? You really need to stop writing comments on this story until you learn the facts in which you speak! The Tuohy family didn't negotiate or sign anything that had to do with his football contracts or even the contract that Michael himself signed with the movie studio!!! Michael was 3 months away from the age of 18 when the conservatorship was started for him because the conservatorship did make him family in certain legal aspects that was needed for him at that time to join Ole Miss as a Tuohy family member among other things! But the Tuohy family NEVER signed nor negotiated for Michael any legal contracts in his NFL career nor is he even making such claims! LET ME REPEAT... even Michael is NOT claiming the Tuohy's signed, negotiated or profited a dime in his football career that earned him $34 million dollars! The Tuohy's never used the conservatorship to control any aspect of Michael's life. EDUCATE YOURSELF PLEASE ON THE FACTS OF THE CASE AND WHAT MICHAEL IS SUING THEM FOR!
I never knew about this family and had obviously never heard Leigh Ann speak - but Sandra Bullock obviously studied her voice and speech patterns. She wanted to be authentic and she nailed it.
The Tuohy family have hearts of not gold, but Diamonds! May God bless everyone of them🙏❤ They took him in, fed, and clothed him, gave him a room for himself; something which he never had. They showed him love, especially Mrs. Tuohy; she loved him as her own child! They're the ones who're responsible for him being who he has become today! May God bless them for their kindness 🙏❤️🌹 Many people might now think twice about helping others (that much) that might be in a similar situation as Michael was in. If Michael Oher has a conscience, he'll not sleep very well throughout the nights. He's an ungrateful man! God sees and knows everything, so he'll deal with Michael.
Lol, turns out “nobody would believe it, if it wasn’t true.” Welp… it wasn’t true… Micheal was an elite football player who had scouts following him around telling this family he had massive potential before he was adopted by this family. They did a good thing, I give them credit. But you know they don’t need credit… cuz they got all that cash boyyy 💰 💵.
I’ve only seen The Blind Side once or twice, but I found the story of Michael very sad and interesting. Finding out the Tuohy’s have been capitalizing off of his stance in football is downright disgusting.
Maybe instead of watching the movie yet again, you spend some time learning the facts?!?!?!?! The Tuohy's didn't capitalize on "his stance in football". You have no clue what you're babbling about!
I'm a very strong feelings type of man hard to cry...easy to make my tears roll down with this huge History ...love Family History. Great People great Heart My very much Respect fot them and Michael .
These people are absolutely disgusting for what they did. She talks about "writing a check" well what about the checks you cashed off of Michael's name
Such a wonderful love you all share. It is so very open, caring, and true. This story like a few others like it lend a hint of hope to many people our there who have seen and lived far to little hope in their own lives. Bravo 👏👏👏 God bless you all🙏🙏🙏
🤑6:00 Oh yeah you thought Michael was sent to you alright, you most have thought you won the lottery! The whole thing is a joke now, especially with the title, because clearly Michael was so blind he couldn't see the side business the Tuohy's were running. IMAO if they can do this then really a lot of taboo things that came in the movie is the real reality of what the family really thought of Michael.
Michael is a success because of this family Let’s see what scholarships he would have gotten if he was still broke and living with a junkie All this is hopefully going to prove one thing - never help broke b lack people Forever ungrateful. Let them stay poor
@@natevic1867why didn’t they adopt him if they loved him? Why was it about money. If he was really ungrateful he would not have signed nothing making them family. Whole time it was a paper giving him no money. Why did they pocket all the money and not tell him or thank him for putting him on? 😂 if you a scammer just say that
@@natevic1867 one thing I now know is never trust a whitteee person. Their is always some hidden intention. they didn’t pay for his life. He paid for their obvious. If they didn’t need the money so bad they would never had put that scamm contract in place. Goodbye. They didn’t give him no super power he had his own football passion and strength. Look at you defending them. Those genes just there waiting for activation huh? 😂
I do that "turn around" aspect everywhere that I go since I first watched this movie. Most often, it's exciting meeting new people that i never met/knew before.
What a family!!! I can say that Michael was lucky, but that same luck goes for the Tuohy too, not for the mony, or a roof, but yes, the love of a good son and goos parents. Those people are incredible, It's a family that millions of other families just wish to have that love. Even Sandra Bullock cried in the oscars 2010, i also cried watching The Blind Side!! I'm just really happy for the whole family, they really deserve it.
