So does Sandra Bullock have to give her Oscar back?
How many of the Tuohy family defenders defame some youtubers for "using their kids as a means to an end?"
If this is true, those people need prison.
I’m glad he found this out now while they’re still alive and NOT at the reading of their wills. He really would have been devastated to find out that he isn’t legally apart of their family. Okay, they took him in — and he was grateful. He chose THEIR alma mater. They enjoyed the free games and privileges (even their bio daughter being a cheerleader there to cheer him on which, again, another family member benefited from knowing him). They were apart of all his contract deals. Yes, they were already wealthy but clearly that wasn’t enough. This film got them notoriety beyond their southern small town. They went to Oscar parties, did TV interviews, got a spin-off TV show (the mom and daughter), and above all, they were portrayed and seen as white evangelical southern saints. THAT was the holy grail because I’m a small town southerner myself. But, they were also greedy and selfish and manipulative. They benefited from him waaaay more than he did from them. And they were securing their bio kids generational wealth without Michael in mind. I think Michael was more hurt that he wasn’t adopted more than anything else. They took advantage of his name and trust. They had a poor desperate kid that nobody wanted. They build him up and he was forevermore grateful. Predatory nature 101.
I knew it this f$&king movie sucked balls and I’m glad it was a lie cause that movie should be put in the list of terrible movies of all time
LOST INTEREST when she said "wealthy white". Proof this is all to stir the pot of media created racism.
This is absolutely disgusting
I watched the movie and I LOVED IT SO MUCH that I'll refuse to have his sudden outbursts make me have reasons to hate that movie 🤣🤣 NO SIR YOU SHALL NOT DO THAT!!
Well duh. Just look at her. I never trusted Sandra Bullock either.
sounds about white
🖕🤣
Imagine being a grown Slave
How could they have known he'd be a future NFL player making big $? What if he wasn't that great in college or broke his leg and never got drafted?
Sure was blind sided about these people.
Rotten people!
White people cometh white people taketh. Native Americans told me this one
WOW!! REALLY NICE HOW U STRESS THE WEALTHY WHITE PPL! THE MOVIE WOULDNT BE WITHOUT HIS NAME .. DUDE WOULDNT HAVE A NAME WITHOUT THIS COUPLE SO SAVE IT ! THEY ALL HELPED OUT EACH OTHER !! I DO NOT AGREE ON THE COUPLE MAKING MORE MONEY THEN HIM . ANY TRUTH TO THEM STILL HAVING CONSERVATORSHIP OVER HIM AND IF ABLE TO COLLECT MONEY BC OF IT? THEN HE SHOULD BE ABLE TO TAKE EVERY DIME NC THATS FLAT OUT GREED —WHEN HES A GROWN MAN ! ANY MOVES LIKE THAT BEING PULLED ? THOSE PPL DESERVE PRISON!
STOP WITH THE RACE CRAP! ITS OLD PPL ITS OLD !]

WE R NOT BLIND WE ALL CAN SEE THE COLOR OF THEIR SKIN!! SO OLD UR BS MOVES!
Right because they took him in off the street all apart of an evil plan to make him a famous football player and make money off of a movie. Because that happens to everyone. Come on, wake up people.
It’s sick they took him and off the streets and gave him a better life and he turns against them. Sick. Blacks will do anything to be a “victim”.
If this is true the whole thing seems legit I mean if they did not adopt him they just used him , I would like to know if before they took him in that they knew just how they could gain financially, seems a little shady to me.
I hope he wins and stays away from all these non human money hungry people. It's like those celebrities that take cameras when they do something for charities ….holding an animal or smiling at a poor child or doing this and that but in reality it's just a show to give themselves points after their kind show they move on. Never got fooled by these hypocrites. Those who care fight for animal rights or humanity and do it always without cameras.
