Lawyers for the Tennessee couple who took in former NFL star Michael Oher as a teenager on Wednesday denied accusations they had cheated him out of earnings from the Oscar-winning movie about his life.
In a court filing on Monday, Oher, 37, whose inspirational life story was the subject of the 2009 film, "The Blind Side," accused Leigh Anne Tuohy and her husband Sean Tuohy of tricking him into signing away control of his financial affairs.
The Super Bowl-winning former Baltimore Ravens player also alleges the Tuohys misled him into believing he had been legally adopted by the couple when in fact they had established a conservatorship.
