Michael Oher‘s attorneys have filed three subpoenas to further investigate how much Leigh Anne and Sean Tuohy have profited off of his life story as his conservators.
People reports Oher’s attorneys subpoenaed Alcon Entertainment, the production company that made The Blind Side, for “all documents and communications” they have regarding payments made to the Tuohy family in relation to Oher, as well as any receipts for payments regarding the books they wrote.
His attorneys also subpoenaed Creative Artists Agency, which represents the Tuohys, to hand over “contracts and contract negotiations, contract amendments, agreements, accountancy, financial records, payments made, and notices concerning The Blind Side movie or book and/or payments made to the Tuohy Family for any reason.”
The Memphis Shelby Count Schools system also received a subpoena for documents regarding his time in school.
This news comes two weeks after the former athlete accused the Tuohys of misrepresenting the conservatorship as an adoption while making millions off of his life story.

The legal petition filed by Oher earlier this month explained that he first met the Tuohy family when he was a student at Briarcrest Christian School in Tennessee. Per People, the filing stated he regularly stayed with his classmates’ families because he was “on his own” and “nearly penniless.”
The Tuohy family invited him to stay permanently in 2004 when they presented him with legal papers that he thought were a part of the adoption process.
Those documents gave Leigh Anne and Sean Tuohy “all powers of attorney to act on his behalf” and stipulated that Oher “shall not be allowed to enter into any contracts or bind himself without the direct approval of his conservators.”
Oher discovered that he was under a conservatorship and had never been adopted by the Tuohys after he hired an attorney to look into why he was the only member of the family who had not been receiving royalty checks from The Blind Side.
His attorney, J. Gerard Stranch IV, told ESPN that the investigation led him to discover the conservatorship papers.
“Mike didn’t grow up with a stable family life. When the Tuohy family told Mike they loved him and wanted to adopt him, it filled a void that had been with him his entire life,” Stranch told ESPN. “Discovering that he wasn’t actually adopted devastated Mike and wounded him deeply.”
