  1. What the hell is with these shitty adopted black NFL players turning on their parents?

  2. Welcome to Hollywood this happens time and time again no matter what race you are. Writers always put a spin to capture the heart strings. I'm still upset that when I grew up I found out that ET was not a real Alien!! I'm mad!!! How could Hollywood make me cry and fall in love with a fake alien! I want to sue Stephen Spielberg! How dare he convince all of us that a fake alien was taken in by these white people to make a script better and sell lots of tickets!!!

  3. He might have drained all his money with impulsive spending habits and now he wants their money😂

  4. Sounds like Blind Side Part 2. They will make even more money. 🙂

  5. Imagine being blindsided for real like Micheal was by his so called adopted family. 😮

  6. So that is the last thing they deserve is someone or a married couple who mentors then and really really puts their heart and soul into them helping them to have a better life in the future, only for them to backstab the person and take whatever they worked sooooo hard for because they feel they deserve it because they made a big impact on them it is basically the people who mentor them that they own business and whatever

    It’s because of people who give them an opportunity and respect and kindness in life that is why they work sooo hard to be successful and hopefully own a business to help other people in their shoes too, so he could not have become a big big football star without those peoples help I completely agree

    But he works hard by himself too he never had to work soooooo hard to be a football player he could have just worked in a dollar store making minimum wage, but he wanted to be someone bigger not only for other people but for the people who don’t feel there’s much of an opportunity out there especially living on the streets

    So yeah they do deserve credit, the people who took him in and everything but they don’t deserve to have everything he worked sooooo hard for that isn’t right that isn’t fair, dogs get treated better then he does like it’s extremely unfair and I honestly hope they get the book thrown at them in court for doing that to him

  7. Just looking at that family I smell Jesus

  8. They made him look like a idoit!

  9. These people need to be in jail

  10. Preseason ratings must be low. They had to manufacture controversy to drum up viewers to their boring rigged sport

  11. So they basically treated him like their very own son pet golden goose. And on top of it, they got to write their own white savior narrative they profited from. Beyond disgusting.

  12. Blind. What does THAT truly mean in 2023?

  13. He’s salty because he didn’t become a great player. That family did a lot to bring him in…

  14. They seem like a great family

  15. Oh no, all this time, I've seen this movie a billion times. And the tuohys never adopted him just because he is different? I am very good 👍 and proud of Michael Oher.

  16. my thing is why didn't they at least put some money aside for him? why did he not earn any money from the movie? people are saying well they help him go to college. NOPE, where is his cut?

  17. I saw the movie. It was clear he wasn’t adopted by them, in the movie. Can’t say anything about the rest of it.

  18. Get all sides before judging.

  19. Horrible!! This family id cruel

  20. This is horrible! There terrible people ! Who want exploit him

  21. Whoever is actually surprised by this is as gullible as oher was. There was NO way this thing EVER was for ANYONE but the Tuhey’s … NO ONE else.

  22. Shame on him! For someone with a learning disability he sure knows how to bring about bogus accusations and manipulate the media. The Tuohys never should have helped him or his kind!!!

  23. I liked the blindside movie when it came out. But honestly, it really did seem like the Toueys trying to be such good guys and help this poor defensive black kid. Idk the whole movie just had that vibe. They were rescuers and going to save him. It was odd that they were "adopting" someone who was old enough and big enough to be on his own. But I didn't question it since they were helping him get into college and get a scholarship or whatever.. (its been years since I've seen it so i don't remember) But even so.. I felt like the actor portraying Michael was uncomfortable/awkward playing the role. Like he was playing it for the character but also for himself.

  24. Money,money,money…..😢

  25. This world has gone to hell fast. 😢

  26. I knew something was wrong with this when it came out and I wouldn’t watch it.

  27. In her pic Mrs. Tuohy looks like nikki sixx

  28. They need to make a movie about his real life and toss old one into the trash…

  29. I mean it is called *blind side" so he wouldn't have known or seen it coming. Now we know how appropriate the title is more than ever

  30. This world is really sick 😂

  31. Things are never as they seem. Sad how peopke exploit.

  32. He gained 6 Iq by living with that family and now he wants revenge, smh

  33. Newsflash, it was a MOVIE NOT HIS BIOGRAPHY. They could portray him any way they want. He should make his own movie if he doesn’t like it.

  34. Well it made a good movie anyway. Isn’t it legal to write a book or movie based on true story, but fictional? Poetic license. If he had nothing to do with movie, why would he get money? I guess they’re not on good terms.

  35. Remember when Michael Strahan violently beat 2 of his ex girlfriends
