Michael Oher demanded $15 million from Sean and Leigh Anne Tuohy before filing a petition to end the family's conservatorship over him, according to an attorney statement provided to DailyMail.com. Oher, the former NFL offensive lineman who became the inspiration for the book and movie, The Blind Side, filed a petition in a court on Monday accusing the family of lying about adopting him. Instead, the filing claims, the Tuohys had him sign papers making them his conservators, and then used that arrangement to profit off his story when the book and movie were popularized more than a decade ago.But according to attorney Marty Singer, who represents the Tuohys, Oher had previously threatened the family and demanded an eight-figure payday. And if they didn't, Singer claims, the former Ole Miss standout said he would 'plant a negative story about them in the press.'
