@@backhurts11- That’s a lie. I’m from TN. Mike was already at Briarcrest and was already a 5star OT when he met them. Everyone in TN knew that movie was a lie. He was a big deal.
And incorrect. And it’s, what, 14yrs after the movie? For someone claiming not to be as dumb as portrayed in the movie…he’s not supporting his own argument
@@frozenlama23 It wasn't a normal adoption, it was a conservatorship. They were making the deals in his name and he didn't know they were collecting royalties from him b/c of the conservatorship. Think Brittney Spears and her parents but you had no idea you had signed it as a kid b/c you thought they were adoption papers.
It’s unbelievable that people love the movie so much that they can’t put aside that love and realize the movie is just a fabricated Hollywood story and that the true story is a lot more sinister and manipulative. He deserves compensation for how he was lied to and exploited by that family
@@LDNballer They owned several McDonald's franchises. They helped him, just how Hollywood parents help their children. What's the difference? Should they have left him in Foote Homes?
@willyjankins4793 didn't know that, meal ticket ain't the right word then...but ultimately they deceived him in order to make money. Did he benefit from their intervention? absolutely. But this seems to be more about a relationship betrayal more than a financial one....imagine you found out you're adopted, and your parents only adopted you for a big pay check..you wouldn't feel betrayed?
Yes, if that was FACT. But the question to ask... did the White family cut him out or did his own business agent not negotiate a deal? ESPN also reported that Michael used his own business agent to negotiate with the movie studio and NOT the legal reps the White did for themselves!
@@covertpuppytwo3857Michael Oher has no one to blame but himself. The Thouys were loaded rich and did not need the money. Think about it. Something is not quite right here
@@IUsedToBeANiceGuy I agree 100%... there are some serious lack of information in this story.... and again, you're right... something is not quite right here. I think we need to get all the information to make any judgement. Nothing has been provided that shows the White family took any money away from him or cheated him in anyway.
@@IUsedToBeANiceGuyyou sound like a clown.

Not only were they deceiving him into thinking they were adopting him, but he also didn't realize he was signing a conservatorship that was use to prevented him from earning royalties. Yet, the Tuohys ensured their biological children continued to receive royalties from the movie.
_"signing a conservatorship that was use to prevented him from earning royalties."_ - That's conjecture. Also, according to ESPN, the family used their own legal rep to negotiate with the movie studio and Michael used his own business agent to negotiate. I've not heard nor seen any evidence that the family used the conservatorship to cheat Michael out of any money!
@@willyjankins4793 He might have ended up the same with a stellar NFL career. He was in high school a good athlete which the movie doesn't portray. But there are way too many unanswered questions to make any judgements yet. The issue I keep coming back too is... the White family use a single legal rep to negotiate with the movie producers while Michael used his own business agent. If Michael's own business agent didn't do a good deal for him... who's really to blame?
@@covertpuppytwo3857 I guess the white people are to blame. I'm sure if Michael could take it back, he would have never messed with them white devils, got that college education, and landed that NFL spot. How dare those white people for using Michael like that!
The producers knew the truth that's why they named the movie that way. When I first saw the movie, I thought it was too good to be true. Something is not right at all, with it
I can see both sides to this...on the one hand they could have created the conservatorship to protect him in case he began to blow his money when he was young and not used to handling millions of dollars. They would have legally been able to limit access to his accounts and put him on a budget until he learned. Most people who come from a disadvantaged background just dont handle a lot of money wisely. They need someone to teach them and protect them from the parasites that will show up to get some of that money. BUT why did he wait until now after all of these years...? Is he running out of money after his football career ended?
yeah people are never as nice as they are portrayed in movies.Ohre really is not like the perfect man in the movie.If the Tuohy family hadn't taken him in where would he be?probably in some street gang or dead in some alley.lot of love that was not returned.they were rich before they took him in.
@@Confucius_SpiritThis is why whttte people need to stop pandering and helping these BP they will never be grateful all of them end up turning on whttte people who helped them.
Sounds like he ran out of money & is looking for someone to blame honestly. Something like 85% of NFL players are broke within 5 years of retirement, & he's 6-7 years out of the league at this point. It's not hard to do the math & figure out why he's coming forward with this complaint NOW (when he had nothing to say about it back he was getting an NFL paycheck).
That may be true! But that doesn't mean what the Tuohys did was right. They made a mockery of the Foster parent and put him under conservatorship as an investment opportunity!
Agreed! This clown blew through all his millions and now expects the family who lifted him out of the fuxking ghetto to pay his way even more, what a loser. They should have left him in the ghetto
The key is this do not pay for tutors, cars, apartments, and everything else under the sun for a stranger. If they had not gotten the tutor, I do not believe he would have made it anywhere.
There is more to this story than Oher is leading on. If he said the portrayal in the movie was false and they took advantage of him then why didn’t he make a big deal about it at that point? Don’t tell me he only recently found out about the royalties. It sounds idiotic.
Imagine if he should have to deal with all the criticism he now face and playing through his football career.Probably because the taught of is carrier. The white saviour feel good story give him a safety bubble. He may be afraid of the media backlash if he try to burst it. At that time only 50% of the NFL draft proceedings are based on actual facts and skills, rest was on PR works&media hype.
The movie left me cold mainly because of a scene where Michael saw his older brother working at a restaurant. The family showed no interest in asking after the brother or keeping the brothers connected - only one scene but that would have been true care and altruism beyond football right there.
Think Michael Moore is being unfair and very ungrateful. These people took him in when he could have lost his in to gangs involvement in anything that was illicit back in his time growing up. But God was grateful to this brother, Gave him a family who took him under their wings gave him a future a better life, and this is how you treat them because of money this entire situation should be dealt more respectfully out of courts.. Where was his mother growing up? this guy needs to use head not just his love for money.
wait...didnt they take a chance with him, took him from a rough neighborhood, let him stay in their house, fed him three meals a day, paid for all his education and supported him all the way? i would just say thank you and give them a hug. ungrateful sob.
Considering the fact it took even Jim Carey twenty years living homeless before he started making decent money in Hollywood. I’ll be proud to have my life story made into a movie at least once in my life. Even though they might change it a little. I’ll still be grateful and thankful.
He had a 0.76 GPA, basically homeless, with nada to his name. They take him in and with tutoring and coaching get him up to par to play college football. I hardly call it taking advantage, and potentially a conservator was an easier process. Adoption can be difficult especially with living parents.
He was already an All-American player when they met him lol. They took him in, but that was it. Dude was destined for greatness without them. They took advantage of a talented kid, made him go to their alma mater, and then made money off of his story without him seeing a dime.
They could have adopted him as an adult. This happens sometimes with foster children. When they age out, they don't have to worry about their biological parents rights anymore.
It was not a lie. We did everything. He never even had picked up football until he met us. He benefited from us! Now that movie and all the proceeds? No comment. 😆
so basically YT devils like you always excuse your kind from evil. He has been calling out that family for the last 7 years. research before you be the typical demon your kind are.
you shouldnt steal from people or make money off their likeness without permission, coercing someone into a contract when they are under your care is wrong. worse than britneys parents
It’s so sad that people have to be so greedy and not consider this young man’s feelings. It wasn’t right to victimize him like that. The betrayal goes way beyond financial. 😢
Authors get paid, not the subjects of books. Anyone thinking the Tuohy family banked millions off The Blind Side or Michael Oher are just blind or uninformed. He was given a home and family, and made millions because of them. I'm guessing he's blown through his NFL money, and is now looking for more. Just a guess. I do promise you though there were no big movie checks for even a scratch of the "millions" he's claiming. That's just not how it works.
He has millions because of them. I think he has a bad greedy bird which whispers in his ear. He never would have become like this on his own, I do not believe.
The fact that he made over 70 million during his nfl career and as of 2023 has a net worth of less than 16 million tells me he blew his money and is going broke.
@@AT-gu8by what does that have to do with my comment?he is going broke just published a book and is looking to cash in.and at this point in America hate is profitable.
Also foster care is a business in the US "If you are considering becoming a foster parent (also known as Resource Parent) or host-guardian, at some point you’re going to wonder how much foster parents get paid in California. That’s a perfectly fair question. In theory, a resource or foster family can earn as much more than $9,000 per month, prorated per night. But it’s all based on variables like the number of kids you’re fostering, their ages and any special needs they may have. So what’s the actual payment range? In the state of California, foster parents currently (2020) may receive between $1000 to $2609 each month per child, depending on the Level of Care. You may have up to 6 children in one home, depending on their needs; but it is more reasonable to have less than 6. A foster family agency may opt to give foster parents more than the minimum, so you should check with your agency"
Why am I not surprised?? But to split ALL the royalties with their REAL kids and completely cut him out??? They would need security 24/7 if I was him. 😡 😤
His royalties, he did not want, when they called him about it. It is all there in a trust account for his oldest son. Their lawyers said and have proof. They have none of his money. He turned on them, due to bad influences.
Wake up ppl it’s just about the money , he has a book now I’m sure this is for publicity bc ask ya self why wait all these years ?if I remember correctly they already had money he didn’t
How come none of these investigative reporters have gotten a forensic accountant to analyze this family's financials so they can just nip this in the bud already?
@@user-ct8ee8od6o My issue is not that they just profited of him, it's the fact that they didn't consult with him, and they made money off his story without adding him to the contract or asking permission. WE obviously do not know all the facts. He did say the story didn't depict him right. The story made it seem he was this big doofer doo...who they scooped up and made an NFL caliber player out of. I read somewhere he said that's not how it happened. He already knew how to play and he wasn't and isn't this clueless slow guy.
Everybody on here just assuming everything before the whole story even comes out. He just so happens to decide to do this now that he isnt making any money from his bust NFL career.....
8 years, super bowl ring and over $20 million earned. Not hardly a bust. What More of the story do you need? The family told their side in the movie. Now he's telling his.
IT WAS A MOVIE! That said, what do you call it when a family takes an orphan into their home, treats him like their child, and gives him more than 99% of all other children get???
Meal ticket??? He was a homeless kid who had literally nothing to offer them. The only reason he is who he is today is because of them, and the only reason anyone knows his name is because of them. They literally gave him a beautiful life but apparently he forgets that once money is involved. Also, they were already VERY wealthy before they took him in.
@@JewessChrstnMysticthis is about more than just the money. If you read the film article it tells clearly that the thing that hurt him the most that he for all those years thought he legally was a part of the family but never was. And no matter how much they did for him you can’t deny that it isn’t morally wrong to not tell a kid who calls u mom that he isn’t even a part of the family. Also the fact that they took his rights away without telling him his never ok
The main focus of the rich is "too get mo rich" when the lady seen him first thing she noticed was his stature size,shape, strength ect..(body of an offensive tackle. 1 of highest paid positions in football) she made millions of his name alone obviously but once story got out she knew millions mo were goin come. why she aint get paid from her real kids?? mill ticket....
I love how the comment section always runs wild as if everybody knows everything and nobody ever stops to let the facts come out. There’s two sides to every story. Settle down children.
Just so I have this straight. I could do a neighbor a favor, babysit for a couple of hours and then be sued and lose over child support, but somebody takes someone in, feeds them, houses them, provides medical for years, and that’s not considered adopting because they didn’t fill out some paperwork? Does it feel slimy, it could. But how much more of the financial burden did they carry after he turned 18? Did he continue to live with them? Did he spend his family time with them over the ensuing years? Who wrote the book that the movie was based on? Pretty sure the story about him graduating college and making it to the NFL did not happen before he turned 18. Really sad that they could not work it out as the family they purported to be. I know if I had a financial conflict with a family member like this, I’d ask them what they thought was fair, and if I had it, I’d write them a check. If not, I’d work out payments. But to attribute malice and chicanery to what was likely the easiest, cheapest and least amount of paperwork to do, really demonstrates how far the gratitude extends for taking someone in. Perhaps the Twohys are every bit as sneaky and conniving as they are being portrayed, but also maybe not.
According to the family, Oher couldn't get into Ole Miss without the conservatorship. They said they made $75,000 off the movie and everyone in the family got $15,000 incuding Michael.
This is such a bad take. The paperwork really is not that hard to sort out, and the worst part is that they didn't even tell him they were profiting. That's sneaky and deceptive, and they have been peddling a false narrative for years and not allowing Oher to tell his own story. Oher was 23 when the movie came out, not a child, not underage, and they easily could have split the residuals, but when it was no longer convenient for them, he wasn't a part of the family. He should not of had to ask them to give him money they made off of his story, and just because they 'took him in' it does not mean he owes them anything. If the Tuohy's truly did house him out of the goodness of their hearts, then why didn't they split the earnings? They wanted money, and Oher just wants his share of it.
@@meggy0 maybe you should read my comment before telling me what a bad take it is. If you do decide to read through it, you’ll discover that I said, the exact same thing as you did. They purport to be a family, if there was a problem, they should have been able to work it out amongst them without the lawyers being involved. Practically the first thing I said is that it looks slimy. I said they could’ve been scammers, I also said, maybe not. Which covers the entire spectrum of the issue. Hard to see why that’s a bad take! :-)
he never got paid cus his evil foster parents pretended he was signing adoptiton papers but really they made him sign conservatship papers which means they make all the money and he makes none

Wait! Time out,Time out! You mean to tell me that a family made money off their athlete son? I have never heard of that before. Oh wait. I have. It was, EVERYBODY!!! Shut up and report on some real news. Like, Maui.
He got paid too because he knew about it and was part of the script so now he's out the league he wants to expose it. Be a real man and speak truth always even at the expense of your career.

He had a 0.76 GPA, basically homeless, with nada to his name. They take him in and with tutoring and coaching get him up to par to play college football. I hardly call it taking advantage, and potentially a conservator was an easier process. Adoption can be difficult especially with living parents.
Still no reason to cheat and exclude him from future business deals.
He was already an All-American player when they met him lol. They took him in, but that was it. Dude was destined for greatness without them. They took advantage of a talented kid, made him go to their alma mater, and then made money off of his story without him seeing a dime.
They could have adopted him as an adult. This happens sometimes with foster children. When they age out, they don't have to worry about their biological parents rights anymore.
Heck, they could adopt him today if he was willing.
Thank you for saying the truth. ESPN is just trying to spread another race story
It was not a lie. We did everything. He never even had picked up football until he met us. He benefited from us! Now that movie and all the proceeds? No comment. 😆
The movie made 100s millions and he got zero! wow.. i dont know where to begin
The Blindside 2 “Blindsided, Michaels Revenge” 😎
Lmao sounds like a horror/thriller 😂😂😂
I can see that lady doing the harlem shake in court. Lol
So basically he broke and trying to get a few million off the family that took him off the streets…😂😂
He broke because he made barely anything while the family got 300 million dollars
How retarded are you where that’s your conclusion?
Actually he is worth 16 million. It’s a shame that you have a problem with going after what was taken off of him by deception.
so basically YT devils like you always excuse your kind from evil. He has been calling out that family for the last 7 years. research before you be the typical demon your kind are.
you shouldnt steal from people or make money off their likeness without permission, coercing someone into a contract when they are under your care is wrong. worse than britneys parents
It’s so sad that people have to be so greedy and not consider this young man’s feelings. It wasn’t right to victimize him like that. The betrayal goes way beyond financial. 😢
Authors get paid, not the subjects of books. Anyone thinking the Tuohy family banked millions off The Blind Side or Michael Oher are just blind or uninformed. He was given a home and family, and made millions because of them. I'm guessing he's blown through his NFL money, and is now looking for more. Just a guess. I do promise you though there were no big movie checks for even a scratch of the "millions" he's claiming. That's just not how it works.
He has millions because of them. I think he has a bad greedy bird which whispers in his ear. He never would have become like this on his own, I do not believe.
Sandra Bullock needs to make it right with her adopted son
"Alleges" as if he can't speak facts on his own life. This is hilarious.
The fact that he made over 70 million during his nfl career and as of 2023 has a net worth of less than 16 million tells me he blew his money and is going broke.
I don’t think that you know what a conservatorship is.
@@AT-gu8byi don't think you know what a multimillionaire is, smh...
@@AT-gu8by what does that have to do with my comment?he is going broke just published a book and is looking to cash in.and at this point in America hate is profitable.
Also foster care is a business in the US
"If you are considering becoming a foster parent (also known as Resource Parent) or host-guardian, at some point you’re going to wonder how much foster parents get paid in California. That’s a perfectly fair question.
In theory, a resource or foster family can earn as much more than $9,000 per month, prorated per night. But it’s all based on variables like the number of kids you’re fostering, their ages and any special needs they may have. So what’s the actual payment range?
In the state of California, foster parents currently (2020) may receive between $1000 to $2609 each month per child, depending on the Level of Care. You may have up to 6 children in one home, depending on their needs; but it is more reasonable to have less than 6. A foster family agency may opt to give foster parents more than the minimum, so you should check with your agency"
$1000 = 4635.5 Malaysia
He just found out about the conservator this year.
Why am I not surprised?? But to split ALL the royalties with their REAL kids and completely cut him out??? They would need security 24/7 if I was him. 😡 😤
His royalties, he did not want, when they called him about it. It is all there in a trust account for his oldest son. Their lawyers said and have proof. They have none of his money. He turned on them, due to bad influences.
@@snowshadow11 for whose oldest son?
Wake up ppl it’s just about the money , he has a book now I’m sure this is for publicity bc ask ya self why wait all these years ?if I remember correctly they already had money he didn’t
How come none of these investigative reporters have gotten a forensic accountant to analyze this family's financials so they can just nip this in the bud already?
But at the same time what the family did do was priceless just saying took him in and guided him in a path to success
But you don’t profit off his life and not give him nothing idc that’s plain wrong then put out lies on top of that
@@Jdcjr1991 I didn't say the family was right just saying a fact just looking at it on all side yes thr family was wrong
@@Jdcjr1991Why can't they profit though?
@@user-ct8ee8od6o Is his family the ones playing football?
@@user-ct8ee8od6o My issue is not that they just profited of him, it's the fact that they didn't consult with him, and they made money off his story without adding him to the contract or asking permission. WE obviously do not know all the facts. He did say the story didn't depict him right. The story made it seem he was this big doofer doo...who they scooped up and made an NFL caliber player out of. I read somewhere he said that's not how it happened. He already knew how to play and he wasn't and isn't this clueless slow guy.
Everybody on here just assuming everything before the whole story even comes out. He just so happens to decide to do this now that he isnt making any money from his bust NFL career.....
8 years, super bowl ring and over $20 million earned. Not hardly a bust. What More of the story do you need? The family told their side in the movie. Now he's telling his.
@@7Eightyonehis 20 mil is gone. U bother reading?
Keeping the stereotypes alive i see. They smile and use nice words and then take everything 👴
...100% not surprise about this.
Good luck Mike! If they used you for profit I hope there’s justice for you.
Looks like he really got blind sided !!
IT WAS A MOVIE!
That said, what do you call it when a family takes an orphan into their home, treats him like their child, and gives him more than 99% of all other children get???
“So proud of u son, now just sign here!”-👴🏻
We know them type people like to take advantage of a certain type of group
They took him off the streets.

The Real Blind Side
I am with Michael. Today the judge dissolve the conservatorship. Now where is the money?
Where is the money? Michael LIED about the money.... but you know that by now.
Went from the Blind Side to Blindsided 💀
😅😂😢 love that poetry.
I stopped watching " this is based on a true story " movies 20 yrs ago.
Sandra Bullock be like: 😬😐
Sue them....
Are you aware of the BLINDSIDE Movie rental underneath your segment?
I dont understand why not share and everyone get paid. They are greedy he ran out of football money
Common sense. Someone wants the rights to write a story about your life. Yes, someone in the family is getting profit.
Leave it to espn to enter the race hustle conversation.
Yep!!!! you know it!!! all the time
At least they fired Max Kellerman or he'd be all over this.
Dude probably need more money
It took him WAY TOO LONG to realize this honestly. Only took u in cuz they seen a mill ticket and they werent wrong i guess. Wicked ways of the world.
They were rich before the even met the kid lol
Meal ticket??? He was a homeless kid who had literally nothing to offer them. The only reason he is who he is today is because of them, and the only reason anyone knows his name is because of them. They literally gave him a beautiful life but apparently he forgets that once money is involved.
Also, they were already VERY wealthy before they took him in.
@@JewessChrstnMysticthis is about more than just the money. If you read the film article it tells clearly that the thing that hurt him the most that he for all those years thought he legally was a part of the family but never was. And no matter how much they did for him you can’t deny that it isn’t morally wrong to not tell a kid who calls u mom that he isn’t even a part of the family. Also the fact that they took his rights away without telling him his never ok
The main focus of the rich is "too get mo rich" when the lady seen him first thing she noticed was his stature size,shape, strength ect..(body of an offensive tackle. 1 of highest paid positions in football) she made millions of his name alone obviously but once story got out she knew millions mo were goin come. why she aint get paid from her real kids?? mill ticket....
“Get Out 2”
Go get what is yours, MO.
Oh boohoo
I love how the comment section always runs wild as if everybody knows everything and nobody ever stops to let the facts come out. There’s two sides to every story. Settle down children.
Oher stated from the beginning that movie and narrative was false. How does the saying go-if it's too good to be true....
He needs to gtfo it.
Show me where he stated it was false. 😂
@@JewessChrstnMysticgoogle exists

😢 That is sad that they lie to him.
Nobody lied to him.
Yup now they are gonna lose everything… 😢 😂
He's only doing this because his NFL money ran out.
Well that’s a blindside..
This is old news. We already know about this story
You should be a journalist ...
@@alanbrown3172 I am
Nice, did you write up a report about it for ESPN and let the world know? I don’t think so shut up. Lol.
Demons!!
So they used that man as a slave for his money, they saw his status rising and took advantage… wow, time to break out the chairs again 🪑🤷🏾♂️
Whatever
One of my favorite movies was built on so many lies.
I say sue them for everything they are worth
Frfr!!
lol good luck with that
@BH-xp8ic yea you’re right there just Rich white people who will win either way 🥱
From blind side to blind sided.
He was blindsided!
Blind sided, we are.
But why now? Something happen here.
Just so I have this straight. I could do a neighbor a favor, babysit for a couple of hours and then be sued and lose over child support, but somebody takes someone in, feeds them, houses them, provides medical for years, and that’s not considered adopting because they didn’t fill out some paperwork? Does it feel slimy, it could. But how much more of the financial burden did they carry after he turned 18? Did he continue to live with them? Did he spend his family time with them over the ensuing years? Who wrote the book that the movie was based on? Pretty sure the story about him graduating college and making it to the NFL did not happen before he turned 18. Really sad that they could not work it out as the family they purported to be. I know if I had a financial conflict with a family member like this, I’d ask them what they thought was fair, and if I had it, I’d write them a check. If not, I’d work out payments. But to attribute malice and chicanery to what was likely the easiest, cheapest and least amount of paperwork to do, really demonstrates how far the gratitude extends for taking someone in. Perhaps the Twohys are every bit as sneaky and conniving as they are being portrayed, but also maybe not.
cry harder
According to the family, Oher couldn't get into Ole Miss without the conservatorship. They said they made $75,000 off the movie and everyone in the family got $15,000 incuding Michael.
This is such a bad take. The paperwork really is not that hard to sort out, and the worst part is that they didn't even tell him they were profiting. That's sneaky and deceptive, and they have been peddling a false narrative for years and not allowing Oher to tell his own story. Oher was 23 when the movie came out, not a child, not underage, and they easily could have split the residuals, but when it was no longer convenient for them, he wasn't a part of the family. He should not of had to ask them to give him money they made off of his story, and just because they 'took him in' it does not mean he owes them anything. If the Tuohy's truly did house him out of the goodness of their hearts, then why didn't they split the earnings? They wanted money, and Oher just wants his share of it.
@@meggy0 maybe you should read my comment before telling me what a bad take it is. If you do decide to read through it, you’ll discover that I said, the exact same thing as you did. They purport to be a family, if there was a problem, they should have been able to work it out amongst them without the lawyers being involved. Practically the first thing I said is that it looks slimy. I said they could’ve been scammers, I also said, maybe not. Which covers the entire spectrum of the issue. Hard to see why that’s a bad take! :-)
@@winonafrog what does that even mean? Why would I be crying at all?
Sounds like he is covering up he was a bust. Never mentioned this before. Didn’t say anything when the movie was made and he was paid.
He mentioned it a while ago tbh when he was in the league
he never got paid cus his evil foster parents pretended he was signing adoptiton papers but really they made him sign conservatship papers which means they make all the money and he makes none
to lie this long smh
Just 700 views???
That's a hard betrayal rite der... smh
1st off NO one cares. 2nd Oher must be needing some money to be saying this now 🤣
Who tf is this dude?!!!! Never heard of him!!

This sounds exactly like happened between Birdman and Lil Wayne.

@@ravanpee1325 Great example.
I wonder if Michael Oher was 18 when he signed the documents.
Regardless, he would not be where he is now without the Thouy's.
@@willyjankins4793 Yes, but it's nonetheless not okay to make a movie about the dudes live, establish a wrong narrative and he doesn't get any money out of it...
@@ravanpee1325 where would this guy have ended up without them?
Hurt Village in South Memphis was where he was.
The city literally tore down Hurt Village because it sucked that bad.
The name of the complex in Memphis where he was at was literally named Hurt Village.
Imagine that.
@@ravanpee1325 Looks like his future isn't doing so bad.
Looks better than most people's.

Dude was in a bleak situation.
Michael Oher should be very grateful.
Imagine the house he lives in now.
That's a very long way from Foote Homes.
He needs to quit, unless he is still legally bound by the convervatorship.
If so, that's another conversation.
Wait! Time out,Time out! You mean to tell me that a family made money off their athlete son? I have never heard of that before. Oh wait. I have. It was, EVERYBODY!!! Shut up and report on some real news. Like, Maui.
Never watched the movie. These comments are interesting 😅😅😅
I understand why he is upset but that movie has been out for a long time why now not as soon as it was in the theater
Cause that football money is running dry

He got paid too because he knew about it and was part of the script so now he's out the league he wants to expose it. Be a real man and speak truth always even at the expense of your career.
how ungrateful he is!!!! “You Can take the boy out of the projects but……..” He would be another loser thug if this family had not taken him in and gave him a good life!! 🤬🤬
