Tennessee judge ends Michael Oher’s conservatorship with 'Blind Side' family

A Tennessee judge said Friday she is ending the conservatorship agreement between former NFL player Michael Oher and Sean and Leigh Anne Tuohy, per the Associated Press.

The agreement, which was reached in 2004, was terminated by Shelby County Probate Court Judge Kathleen Gomes. While in place, it allowed the Tuohys to take over Oher's finances after the couple took him in when he was in high school.

Oher was 18 and living with the Tuohys when he signed the agreement as he was being recruited to play college football. The story of Oher and the Tuohys was the subject of the 2009 movie "The Blind Side" starring Sandra Bullock, who earned an Academy Award for best actress.

Gomes did not dismiss the case as a dispute over finances will continue. She added she had never seen such an agreement reached with someone who was not disabled.

"I cannot believe it got done," Gomes said.

Oher, 37, sought to end the conservatorship in August after asking a court to stop the Tuohys from using his name and likeness to enrich themselves. It was alleged that the family used the conservatorship to make a deal that allowed them royalties on the film that grossed over $300 million. Oher claims the Tuohys made millions from the film. Oher claims he did not see any of that money.

The Tuohys claimed the royalties they earned were around $700,000, which they say they divided evenly among themselves, their two children and Oher. They responded by calling the allegations a shakedown attempt and alleged Oher threatened the court filing as a way to paint them in a negative light unless he was paid $15 million.

Oher is currently seeking a "fair" share of profits.
