#MichaelOher filed a lawsuit in Shelby County, Tenn., court Monday saying he only recently learned he wasn’t officially adopted by Sean and Leigh Anne Tuohy and that he was instead duped into a conservatorship, which allowed the family to rake in millions of dollars in royalties from the movie about his life. 

But #SeanTuohy told the Daily Memphian that the claims have “devastated” the family.

Tuohy said the conservatorship was drawn up to ensure that Oher was eligible to play football at the University of Mississippi.

Tuohy is a booster at the school,
 and if Oher wasn’t part of the family, there could have been potential NCAA issues sending him there, Tuohy suggested.

“I sat Michael down and told him, ‘If you’re planning to go to Ole Miss — or even considering Ole Miss — we think you have to be part of the family. This would do that legally,'” Tuohy said.
 
“We contacted lawyers who had told us that we couldn’t adopt over the age of 18; the only thing we could do was to have a conservatorship. We were so concerned it was on the up-and-up that we made sure the biological mother came to court.”

Tuohy also dismissed the idea that the family profited handsomely from the movie.
