2023 Complaint From Michael Oher
Collins Tuohy is an American businesswoman and entrepreneur who has a net worth of $5 million. Collins Tuohy is best known for being portrayed byLily Collinsin the movie "The Blind Side."
In high school she won the Tennessee State Champion in Pole Vault. She graduated from the University of Mississippi, where she was also the President of the Student Alumni Council and President of the Student Spirit Committee, as well as an Ole Miss Varsity Cheerleader.
Among other shocking allegations, Michael's petition claimed that he was never actually adopted by Sean and Leigh Anne Tuohy and was instead put under a conservatorship. This is important because under a conservatorship, he did not have a familial relationship with the Tuohys, and the family was able to strike deals in his name, allegedly without providing him a share of royalties that were generated by the movie and other media that feature his name and likeness. The petition claimed that the family struck a deal that paid both Tuohy parents and two children, Sean Jr. and Collins, $225,000 plus 2.5% of "defined net proceeds" earned from "The Blind Side" at the box office, DVD sales, and streaming revenue.
"The Blind Side" generated $300 million at the box office on a budget of $30 million. Based on average film profit breakouts, one could presume that there were at least $150 million in net proceeds. If that was correct, the four Tuohys each presumably received $225,000 PLUS$3.75 millionin royalties over time just on the box office, not including DVD and streaming revenue.
On August 14, 2023, it was revealed thatMichael had filed a bombshell petitionto a Tennessee court that claimed the central storyline of "The Blind Side" was a lie, "concocted" by the family to enrich themselves at his expense. The petition requested to end Sean and Leigh Anne's conservatorship, to pay him a fair share of profits from the film, compensatory and punitive damages, and that the couple be barred from using his name in future projects.
Tuohy is the co-owner and Director of Sales and Marketing of The Whimsy Cookie Company.
