As a Black American. CULTURALLY we take in troubled kids, neighbors kids, friends kids, etc. most of us have childhood friends that had a bad home situation and they literally became our family. A lot of those kids went on to become GREAT. There is no applause. There is no movie. There is no awards. Just people with a caring heart, and compassion. Just how it goes in our community ❤
I came from the children's home across the street from my grandmother who used to work there. She told my Mom and Dad about this sweet little girl who sat quietly in the corner(I am a black woman for the record)and some months later I was adopted. Never did I ever feel that I was not wanted or loved. I saw my family take care of friends and neighbors kids as well. So I totally agree with you.
What a disgusting family. Forget the theft and lying, I feel the worst injustice is portraying him as a helpless, hopeless, slow and dumb giant. Sue them all to the wall my friend.
They probably told him that was the movie studio decision to add more drama/interest since it was “based on a true story” they could re-write the facts & embellish to sell tickets.
I feel so bad for him. I sometimes feel bad about side-eyeing white couples who adopt black children (and I'm aware that not all of them do this), but the white savior complex is so real.
I'm a white guy and I saw through the BS when that movie came out and everyone was ranting and raving about how uplifting it was etc. And yes, the scene where the sassy and fearless white woman went into the hood ALONE to assert herself was absolutely ridiculous. That family absolutely exploited Michael and they knew full well what they were doing which is why they went silent and had their lawyer speak for them. If you have nothing to hide you speak the truth when asked. And now that they're exposed they have nowhere to hide. Much respect for Michael and hopefully he wins his case. Because he deserves to.
She married a known neo-naz! and divorced him when she found that he cheated on her with another neo-naz! She was going to raise black children in that household.
Shortly after the movie came out, he dropped his own autobiography. I got it off of Amazon. He was promoting the book while debunking some of the lies from the movie. Michael has been fighting this battle for a long time.
Update: Michael released another book on August 8, 2023. It's called, "When Your Back's Against the Wall: Fame, Football, and Lessons Learned Through a Lifetime of Adversity."
@@roselynholloway7863 She didn’t get into specifics just said a lot of it wasn’t true. We were talking about the foster care system. One of the students was talking about his experiences in the foster care system and how he felt some social workers are quick to paint the biological parents as dead beats.
Some people trying to blame him for taking so long to find out. That's supposed to be his family that had his best interest at heart. He trusted that they were taking care of him. I've seen first hand going on deployments, people families with access to my coworkers accounts rob them blind. They put trust in them that they would be honest and take care of things while we were gone and didn't find out until months later when we come home, find their accounts drained. One person's wife even took off with the kids and ran up his credit and he almost got kicked out the Navy for it. This could absolutely happen to anyone. I believe Michael and I hope he gets every penny he deserves from that fake ass family.
They gave him a home, helped him get rich and loved him! How did they do him wrong? Also, they were filthy rich when they met the young man. They did not need him for anything/ 😂😂😂
It’s sad to say that their reputation probably won’t even be soiled. A lot of wishes are built off of the backs of others. So, so sad for him. How embarrassing to be exploited and ridiculed. I hope he gets what he needs from this lawsuit.
@@anye76why do you think he waited years to sue? Why didn't he object before the movie was released, he had to have seen at least parts of it. Why not speak up then, when it was big, so the world would know?
This is really crazy, because I can remember when everyone who was skeptical of that family were sharply criticized. I’m actually sad that my feelings were correct.
Me too that’s why I always hated it because I knew it was bs especially the way they had him talking I was so pissed off I couldn’t even get through the movie. It seemed like a white person’s fantasy of a poor black man needing him
@@chocha4438yup, as someone who was raised in a dominant whyte state, there was majority Mormon.. we’d have big meetings at school, with whyte folks explaining their missions to Africa, Brazil, Mexico ect.. And how dangerous these countries were and how these whyte Mormons had to fight off child abductors in the countries because they ACTUALLY cared about the country. How there’s no water.. no electricity.. all the people in the country can’t write or read. pictures of whyte people holding starving African babies, or Asian babies.. and that was in my high school days.. and it always rubbed me wrong. So any movies dealing with wyte people being the saviors always made me uncomfortable.. now I know why 😅..
I never liked this movie and it’s worse than I thought. This is beyond disgusting. Not only used him, but lied about making him apart of the family knowing full well that wasn’t their intention to make him family.
This is so sad. As an adoptee this movie gave me so much hope growing up. The stigma around interracial adoption is hanging by a thread because of the undertones of the white saviour complex. While these issues are real not all adoptions represent this. That’s why this movie moved me because it seemingly showcased an unadulterated love that one can find for someone different from oneself. This is the grossest example of exploitation I have ever seen. Chile I am sick to my stomach and wish Michael Oher healing because the rejection one feels from being abandoned is something I would never wish on anyone and to have some yt people exploit that? Just nasty business.
I remember my white teachers used to show us this movie in elem. and mid. school and make us do assignments on how great the family was. I wonder why 😒
Same! Especially one class in sociology in high school she’s consistently play the movie, it always made me feel extremely weird like something isn’t right tbh
This happened to me and my teammates. Our coach would tell people we were poor and get money from organizations. The money was supposed to go towards our scholarship fund for university. My teammates and I never saw or touched this money. This is in Canada 🇨🇦. Crazy shit.
I remember hearing Michael Oher say, probably 10 years ago when he was at the height of his career with the Baltimore Ravens, that this movie was the worst thing that ever happened to him. It's interesting to get some backstory...
How does Sandra Bullock play into this? She did her job well as an actress and won her Oscar fair & square. It's not her fault the real-life family are a bunch of liars and thieves.

I never watched the movie, but I AM suprised that any Black person believed a white family in Texas would adopt a Black child for ANY reason unless money was involved. IT'S TEXAS.
When you grow up in and out of foster homes, your deepest desire is for a permanent home with a loving family. I guess he wanted to believe someone genuinely loved and cared for him.
Anytime I see movies like this I side eye them. I feel so bad for this man, he really believed they were his family. That most be the most hurtful part.
I also don't understand why it would take Michael asking for the conservatorship to be ended, for it to be ended. Why would they still have a conservatorship in place, at his extra adult/grown age? He shouldn't have even needed to ask. And he just realized he was never adopted?
I cautiously side eye people adopting older youth-my ex was adopted by a “clear” couple at 16 They used him as an unpaid Nursing assistant for their elderly grandfather and threatened to kick him out if he didn’t do the tasks…when he turned 18 they gave him a duffle bag and threw him out
I never liked that wyte savior complex movie. Michael has been saying for years that the film falsely depicted him as illiterate. This couple exploited him from the beginning. How despicable to lie about adopting him. I hope he wins his lawsuit.
I always side-eyed this situation. so much so that I haven't even seen the movie "The Blind Side". Something about this family rubbed me the wrong way, and it looks like my hunch was right. P.S. I recently read his first book, I BEAT THE ODDS (2011). In that book, he detailed the many false things that he said were in the movie. He took MAJOR issue with how he was depicted in the movie (his honor roll student status in college strongly suggests that he is NOT an idiot, but merely his very chaotic childhood led to denied educational opportunities). Even through the book, I got the sense that he was estranged from the Tuohys at that point (e.g., using a third person to settle a situation between him and Mrs. Tuohy re: something she said in an interview which rubbed him the wrong way, which leaves readers wondering why he didn't just contact his "mom").
When author Michael Lewis was writing the Blind Side book, he interviewed Michael Oher's teachers, coaches, school administrators, social workers, etc. They all described him *exactly* like the film showed him. Barely speaking, looking down at his feet constantly and not responding to direct questions. His Briarcrest teachers all claim he had the reading skills of an elementary school child and he would hand in tests blank. By chance the one teacher realized that he would do better if she read the tests to him, and that's when he began to improve. In 14 years, not one of these people have ever come forward, claimed that they were misquoted, and backed Michael Oher's criticisms about the way he was portrayed in the movie. So when he protests and says "I wasn't like that!"..... sorry Michael, but apparently these people all agree that back in high school, you most certainly *were* like that. His enormous *ego* can't handle it, but he is the only one who saw things differently.
This whole country was built at our EXPENSE! I'm not at all surprised! SUE THESE THIEVES AND ROBBERS! These people really think more highly of themselves than they ought to think! The part they don't realize is that what they do, won't only affect them, but their entire family! They will reap WHAT they've sown, it's inevitable!
I don't think Sandra should lose her Oscar for the movie. I hope the Toueys get some fierce karma coming their way. I don't care if that offends anyone. They did this bro truly wrong and I'm glad he's setting the record straight and telling his truth.
Pride was a good sports movie too…haven’t watched it in a while but, I believe that was an all black cast. And it doesn’t shock me that the family used him. Gotta be real careful dealing with whypipo…they stole an entire country, unalived massive amounts of ppl, made holidays to celebrate their “achievements”, and so much more…🥴
They are covering this story on different news channels and a lot of the comments online, especially from Yt people, are saying he is being ungrateful and just looking for a handout because his money has run out. They are basically saying that if those people hadn't taken him in, he would be on the streets or in jail, and he owes his success to them. While it is true that they took him in, the fact that they never adopted him, didn't give him a cent from the movie or even ask for his input in the movie, and still have him in in a conservatorship though he is nearly 40 is pretty fishy to me. If you are going to help someone, do it with love and compassion, selflessly. That's how I see it anyway.
Yes, I’ve read those comments. They obviously don’t understand what a consavertorship is. If they did they would realize why this particular situation is questionable
Let me just say this now, my dad who came from Ghana told me this.. if they can erase our history, the one they telling us is a lie! & that’s the reason I tend to not what struggling black films(slavery/white saviour) because why we always need you to be saved when they needed us to learn how to clean😒🙄 … anyways chile, have a blessed day 🫶🏽
Eleven years ago, I met Michael Oher when I was in kindergarten. He visited my elementary school, Prince Street for a book signing. When I spoke to him, he was very sweet. I still have a copy of his autobiography 💜📕
@roselynholloway Yes. Prior to him coming to my school, my teacher would read me and my classmates samples of Michael’s book, so when he came for a book signing, we each got copies of his book.
I knew this shit was sketchy when the movie came out, and everybody dogged me! Even Sandy playing the role didn't sit well with me, and I do have my opinions on her own version of the Blindside (with her Black boy child). Anyway! I sure hate to hear yet another white wealthy family groomed and abused a Black child from the working class. As someone else stated, we do that all the time within our community to no applause. Why when yt people take us in it's a celebration? Colonizers legacy lives on.
@@roselynholloway7863 yes I do. Idk Sandy beyond what she shares to the public and her films, but she a fits a pattern of behavior of white women seeking kudos for adopting a Black child, especially a dark skinned Black child.
Never watched the movie. I always rolled my eyes and thought it was pathetic. Glad I went with my gut and ignored it. I hope he gets some real justice...
I can give this man repect for taking this business done properly. Instead of going to social media first instead seek out a lawyer and see all of his rights in that situation. Yeah I lowkey inside knew that this whole white saver story would be too good to be true. Wish for the brotha keep on living his best life
Right. That was so cringe. I hated that movie, especially the way they made him look dumb and slow. I also don't agree Sandra deserved an Oscar for that role. It was just so over the top. I could never watch that movie a second time.
I’m just kinda confused on how he wasn’t seeing that he was getting no money from that movie. Like if I never went to the bank to cash my check or saw a increase in my bank account after all these yrs then I would of knew a long time ago that I was missing out on my money
They claimed (and still claim) they weren’t getting anything from the movie. It wasn’t until he hired a lawyer that he found everything out. They took advantage of him.
I remember when the movie came out. My mom bought the book and everything. She was so pressed for me to watch that movie. But something told me not to. It just didn't sit well in my spirit. I knew it was sketchy.
Not surprised. I didn’t like this movie because of the “white savior” trope. Even though they said it was based on a real story, it seemed really fake to me. I’m truly sorry for the pain these people have caused this young man.
Given that they made the black lady that was trying to warn him seem evil would never be ok… she even went to the mom’s house for her to sign documents to get him under their thumb… so evil when we look back at it .. loved that movie
That family could not adopt an 18 year old man! They gave him a home, tutors and love. They were wealthy when they met him. He had a great life and good NFL Career. No one did anything to him. Now that his career is over he’s looking to be a victim. Of what? An opportunity? Someone is in his ear and hyping him up to do this. It’s silly.

Do you recommend it
WHY am I NOT surprised? 🙄
Same. Like, not in the least bit.
Stealing is in their “pasty faced”nature, they’re generationally responsible and have no will find no escape from the evil of their ancestors 🤷🏽♀️
I really don’t like the way they made him look, making him look like he was helpless and didn’t know anything, what they did is so wrong
When author Michael Lewis was writing the Blind Side book, he interviewed Michael Oher's teachers, coaches, school administrators, social workers, etc. They all described him *exactly* like the film showed him. Barely speaking, looking down at his feet constantly and not responding to direct questions. His Briarcrest teachers all claim he had the reading skills of an elementary school child and he would hand in tests blank. By chance the one teacher realized that he would do better if she read the tests to him, and that's when he began to improve.
In 14 years, not one of these people have ever come forward, claimed that they were misquoted, and backed Michael Oher's criticisms about the way he was portrayed in the movie. So when he protests and says "I wasn't like that!"..... sorry Michael, but apparently these people all agree that back in high school, you most certainly *were* like that. His enormous *ego* can't handle it, but he is the only one who saw things differently.
Lesson learned. Don't help someone go on to make 10's of millions of dollars so he can sue when he eventually goes broke.
This whole country was built at our EXPENSE! I'm not at all surprised! SUE THESE THIEVES AND ROBBERS! These people really think more highly of themselves than they ought to think! The part they don't realize is that what they do, won't only affect them, but their entire family! They will reap WHAT they've sown, it's inevitable!
PREACH!
I hated that damn movie!!! I always got bad vibes from it!! I knew something was up with this shit!!
And this is why people need to do everything that they can to provide for their children and be there for them. His parents are to blame.
People should stop having kids they can’t afford
💯💯💯💯
You don’t know people’s situations.
I don't think Sandra should lose her Oscar for the movie. I hope the Toueys get some fierce karma coming their way. I don't care if that offends anyone. They did this bro truly wrong and I'm glad he's setting the record straight and telling his truth.
Pride was a good sports movie too…haven’t watched it in a while but, I believe that was an all black cast.
And it doesn’t shock me that the family used him. Gotta be real careful dealing with whypipo…they stole an entire country, unalived massive amounts of ppl, made holidays to celebrate their “achievements”, and so much more…🥴
👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿
This is why we can't have nice things.
Stop with the victim mentality. We can have nice things.
nice things, even if they are lies? ok you do you
@@chynasreality.1311she’s ignorant and is oppressed! Let her continue with that ignorant behavior
all darkness will be brought into the light!
Side Note: He has a beautiful family❤
They are covering this story on different news channels and a lot of the comments online, especially from Yt people, are saying he is being ungrateful and just looking for a handout because his money has run out. They are basically saying that if those people hadn't taken him in, he would be on the streets or in jail, and he owes his success to them. While it is true that they took him in, the fact that they never adopted him, didn't give him a cent from the movie or even ask for his input in the movie, and still have him in in a conservatorship though he is nearly 40 is pretty fishy to me. If you are going to help someone, do it with love and compassion, selflessly. That's how I see it anyway.
Yes, I’ve read those comments. They obviously don’t understand what a consavertorship is. If they did they would realize why this particular situation is questionable
yeah, i saw those comments too, the savior complex runs deep and many yt people think they are superior
I’m shocked by their comments , some of them are even bringing race into this
Let me just say this now, my dad who came from Ghana told me this.. if they can erase our history, the one they telling us is a lie! & that’s the reason I tend to not what struggling black films(slavery/white saviour) because why we always need you to be saved when they needed us to learn how to clean😒🙄 … anyways chile, have a blessed day 🫶🏽
He said it then, but we just didn’t listen to him. Also, when the movie came out, he said Sandra Bullock never bothered to me him.
Bring them down 😤 and hope he gets a substantial about from suing them.
Eleven years ago, I met Michael Oher when I was in kindergarten. He visited my elementary school, Prince Street for a book signing. When I spoke to him, he was very sweet. I still have a copy of his autobiography 💜📕
Did you know who he was
@roselynholloway Yes. Prior to him coming to my school, my teacher would read me and my classmates samples of Michael’s book, so when he came for a book signing, we each got copies of his book.
@@niabelizaire3596 ok
Something with movies where white people help poor black people don't sit right with me 😂. I never see the appeal.
I knew this shit was sketchy when the movie came out, and everybody dogged me! Even Sandy playing the role didn't sit well with me, and I do have my opinions on her own version of the Blindside (with her Black boy child). Anyway! I sure hate to hear yet another white wealthy family groomed and abused a Black child from the working class. As someone else stated, we do that all the time within our community to no applause. Why when yt people take us in it's a celebration? Colonizers legacy lives on.
Do you think sandy is disingenuous in her own life with her kids
@@roselynholloway7863 yes I do. Idk Sandy beyond what she shares to the public and her films, but she a fits a pattern of behavior of white women seeking kudos for adopting a Black child, especially a dark skinned Black child.
@@chavaliernsharps159 ok
Never watched the movie. I always rolled my eyes and thought it was pathetic. Glad I went with my gut and ignored it. I hope he gets some real justice...
My adopted parents played this movie religously and I always knew it seemed fishy. They also were the white-Knight-type.
Wait, after he retired from the NFL, that's when he wanted to look at the mysterious adaption papers? Huh? Chile.
Elohooo... Sis... I appreciate the consistency of the uploads. And your topics lately have been amazing
Modern day slavery....they got rich off of his back. I hope this man gets the money he deserves.
So basically they love bombed him, got what they wanted from him, then discarded him. Typical of narcissists! SMH
I can give this man repect for taking this business done properly. Instead of going to social media first instead seek out a lawyer and see all of his rights in that situation. Yeah I lowkey inside knew that this whole white saver story would be too good to be true. Wish for the brotha keep on living his best life
Poor Michael, I hope he wins his case!
This happens so often in small towns where football is big
There's a pathology at a play here on BOTH sides. I'm proud of him for finally standing up for himself. He deserves to be compensated with interest.
THE TRUTH COMES OUT biggest disappointment everrr..this is so sickening I’ve watched the movie my whole life
I remember that scene where she marched on the field and explained the coach's instructions by using his "need" to "protect her". That's when I knew.
😂🙈
Right. That was so cringe. I hated that movie, especially the way they made him look dumb and slow. I also don't agree Sandra deserved an Oscar for that role. It was just so over the top. I could never watch that movie a second time.
I always felt weird about watching that movie. It definitely gave white savior. Damn all make sense now
I remember finding the Leanne Tuohy (sp) character unlikeable. I guess I know why lol
oh wow , as black people we try not to look at interracial adoptions like this but this is absolutely disgusting.
I’m just kinda confused on how he wasn’t seeing that he was getting no money from that movie. Like if I never went to the bank to cash my check or saw a increase in my bank account after all these yrs then I would of knew a long time ago that I was missing out on my money
He was a kid from a vulnerable background, people like him are easy targets. Also, even for educated adults, legal papers can be confusing.
They claimed (and still claim) they weren’t getting anything from the movie. It wasn’t until he hired a lawyer that he found everything out. They took advantage of him.
@@iameloho718damn smh
Disgusting, but typical. This is exactly the type of behavior this country was founded on.
I remember when the movie came out. My mom bought the book and everything. She was so pressed for me to watch that movie. But something told me not to. It just didn't sit well in my spirit. I knew it was sketchy.
The Blind Side sequel is going to be off the hook!
Not surprised. I didn’t like this movie because of the “white savior” trope. Even though they said it was based on a real story, it seemed really fake to me. I’m truly sorry for the pain these people have caused this young man.
So did no one consult with Michael before the movie was made? He wasn't aware of how he was going to be portrayed?
Given that they made the black lady that was trying to warn him seem evil would never be ok… she even went to the mom’s house for her to sign documents to get him under their thumb… so evil when we look back at it .. loved that movie
🙊 *pretends to be shocked* 😢
That family could not adopt an 18 year old man! They gave him a home, tutors and love. They were wealthy when they met him. He had a great life and good NFL Career. No one did anything to him. Now that his career is over he’s looking to be a victim. Of what? An opportunity? Someone is in his ear and hyping him up to do this. It’s silly.
you are in the minority
This movie was always suspicious to me, I was just like why didn't you adopt any other kid?
Look how easy it is to find unity in victimhood.
nothing THEM FOLKS do surprises me and we need to get away from them
