Preach!💯

Damn thats so true

He had a lot of interviews during the height of the film.

He’s an UNGRATEFUL scumbag… crying victim… they should have left him in the STREET where they found him…. Unbelievably ungrateful

That's what I was thinking! Let's hope it gets made.

Netflix finna hop on it and make a new docu series probably lmao

I’m a big fan of Michael Lewis, the author of Blindside. Now I start to wonder if he had sound judgement while writing Blindside.

Right? They should have demonized white people more

We're only hearing one side of the story

and the Tuohy's gave him routine, discipline and consistent caring. What an ingrate

​@@vambo13257he was all American b4 he moved in.. comprehension is rare

@@johnjhnson82 He was also failing out of school and hadn't yet developed a routine. They hired a tutor for him...bought his food and clothes so he wasn't worried about going meal to meal. The book is bullshit, the conservatorship is bullshit...but there's a GOOD chance he's not where he is without the Tuohy's. And they are probably right where they are either way.

​@@scourge8097Yeah, right where they are as exploitative scammers.

@@johnjhnson82 yeah, sure. And 95% wind up in the NFL, right? 😆

Been there myself...

THIS! Bruh, growing up dead-ass poor is a language that you can't speak unless you went through it. This scumbag interviewer didn't even touch on WHY kids in our position steal to eat, because he's never spent a day wondering what it's like to not eat.

Yep it sucks

Wdym by your time is up . I jus want little more description to it . I do think i got the sense of understanding they no longer want your presence by their body language and all . Isn't it ?

I think I understand what you mean. How the white family pretended to come in peace and then stabbed him in the back I guess. I guess they pretended to help the kid and actually wanted to get a cut of his earnings once he made it to the NFL. Absolutely disgusting and Greedy

That is my favourite proverb. Do you know which country or ethnic group in Africa the proverb originated from?

Wow thats deep i like that

​@@erice4288he is not broke..why do folk try to spread that lie when people try to fight to get what they are justified to get

Would he have made the NFL if not for this FAMILY? I doubt it really. Odds are not in that life he lived corner. I'm sorry.

His book came out in 2011 , you should have read it already. He tells the truth then and it’s completely contradictory to his money grab now.

This family saved this guys life- he was one of 11 kids - mom crack addict and he was living on streets and is on thankful and foolish. It’s a bad scene for him. He spent all his money he wasted his $$ and he’s trying to shake down his family. It’s sinful.

@@roberthowe718 hey robert, you’re pretty old aren’t you? excited to see you tumble into that dirt in a few years.

He was given everything, he’s a liar. He’s not smart with his money. Burnt thru it and now he wants MORE. He wouldn’t be where he’s at without them. Prolly in the streets. On drugs.

When you hear the full story, I guarantee you'll delete your pathetic post. Go do some research. He's looking for a pay day

Na you’re not ready for the real story. You want them to show an 18 year old grown man robbing people and trying to get a family to adopt his ass?

Made over 30 million in the NFL and went broke. Very intellectual....

@resonantchime8458 you get robbed by those close to you & you trust. Make a Oscar Movie & dont get a dime. You would go broke as well. I'm a military service connection war veteran. I don't argue with strangers over the internet. But with his network of 16 million, that don't register on my radar as broke. I'm enjoying life my friend & encouraging others to do the same. Have an awesome & safe day 😀

@@ChanelBoyGirl Roger that. I am as well. But what's done in the dark must come to the light.

Don't buy anything

If he's so smart why didn't he get his own attorney before the movie came out? I've seen other interviews he knew he could not be legally adopted because he was 18. Plus there could very well be something in the dad's side of the family that prevented it legally. Insurance with added dependants gets tricky. Also this was always something LeAnn pushed more. What if there was a prenuptial that prevented adoption? Do you think Angelina Jolie would have adopted more kids if she was married to a lighting guy on one of her movies? ( my friend who's a lighting guy met and had a baby with Sherilyn Fenn from Twin Peaks. Big $ mess. He's been working on Grey's Anatomy since the show started. The daughter mostly lives with him ) Angelina adopted another kid knowing Brad Pitt would be legally tied to that child FOREVER. The husband owns Taco Bells. What is LeAnn him and the kids died in a car accident. Maybe there was something legally or in the family's legacy where the partners or other family didn't want Michael Orr and his REAL siblings ( he's got a huge real family just because his parents died- he's got other real siblings still ) Maybe they didn't want/ insurance prevented them from risking everything ending up with a completely different family. A family with no business management that could and likely would if we're being honest- drive the business into the ground. It takes ninja discipline to make any restaurant a success- even if it is a franchise like Taco Bell. Lastly rich people think differently. Trust me my dad's worth 20 M There are no free rides in my family. We all work for what we have first

When I hear someone say he’s very well spoken and they’re speaking about a Blackman, it almost sounds like you’re taking a shot a black people. Like it’s not expected for black men to be well spoken

If he wasn’t an all American they would’ve left him in the rain with holes in his shoes.

@@beatsbaby3284 Forget the name of documentary but Alabama throws away kids yearly that get hurt or don’t produce. Sadly just part of hyper competitive sports. Just looked up his net worth and somewhere from 10-16 mil. Something is up with this story.

@@janetstotler399 That's not true. He received the most help from a family by the name of Franklin.

Orale homes

It was the same for me. I washed cars, did lawn work, and sold newspapers, and chocolates door to door. I even sold my baseball and basketball ball cards. My biological mother was so gone that she was only nice to me when I had money 🤑💰 to turn over to her. Even if it was $5,$10, $20. Because of this abuse I separated from my mother but encountered toxic women who were users especially when it came to money. I had to accept my childhood neglect. Instead of falling for money users I now despise them and distance myself. You mention how the children become grownups and the grownups are the children is 💯.

The CIA funneled crack cocaine specifically to your parents neighborhoods. I think every single one of you children of crack addicted parents is owed a lot of compensation from the federal government, but you know that’ll never happen and I’m really sorry for that. I’m glad you and your siblings made it out in once piece and have succeeded in spite of such a tremendous disadvantage. Best of luck to you in your life.

@@Thor-Orion yep..... And now they're allowed to go to come into the country that's killing kids. But they want to be involved in a war in Ukraine 🤷🏾‍♂️

I'm not taking sides, the truth is in the middle somewhere, but Hollywood isn't exactly known for accurate depictions of real life stories. They are gonna embellish the truth, make things more dramatic than usual, they made Titanic seem romantic for crying out loud.

@@johnnylego807how u know he’s going broke?

He is normal now thanks to the education he received thanks to his white family . Where would he be without them? Dead or dealing drugs. They already were multi millionaries. They just did the Christian thing, and now I guess that bit them in the butt. Should have left him in the street.

​@@MysticMungusSlungusThis one is about race along with a lot of others.

@@MysticMungusSlungus dude, in the movie they pretended he didn't know how to play football until he met the white family but in real life he was all American before he ever met them. They even had the little white kid teaching him how to block in the movie. I'm not trying to make it all about race, the movie itself is what made it all about race. Again this movie is entertainingly horrible and one of my favorite it's so bad it's good films.

Agree completely. I’m astounded at how normal, bright and insightful Michael is bc the movie portrayed him as slow, and almost a mute. Completely unnecessary are insulting to this great athlete.

Facts they did fam dirty in the movie. He needs to put out part 2 of the movie..the real truth about him.

Snakes that see dollar signs 😉

Author Michael Lewis who is a childhood friend of Sean Tuohy. Instead of telling the true story they chose to make Leigh Tuohy (his friend’s wife) a saint. Lewis wrote the story his friends wanted him to. All of them are posers, fakers, scammers, and frauds.

Not enough praise goes to Hugh Freeze (his HS head coach) and Steve Simpson (the principle of Briarcrest) for making an exception for big Mike. Most kids with a 0.7 GPA & no means to pay tuition would have been turned away

He handed with dignity and respect. He showed none. He has no class and disrespected the family who gave him a chance to play football. He would of never survive without them and this us how he shows is gratitude. The toy family was already rich. They sold there business for 200 million dollars. Thry didn't need his money

The film highlighted his poor education. He blossomed with a tutor in a short period of time.

It was a movie not a documentary. He said he was involved in the movie and didn't receive royalties so he must have had an idea of how he is being portrayed.

​@@donhenry7930not till later. Either way he was being done dirty in the movie on also in the financial side 🤦🏿‍♂️

your comment is deceiving. The movie never portrayed him as borderline intellectually disabled. It was shown he struggled at school because he didn't believe in himself and his capabilities but as soon as he got a tutor and believed in himself he managed to have good grades and get the GPA to be eligible to play in the NCAA. So your comment is an exaggeration.

I don't know in his first book he said he liked the movie. Now he says the movie hurt his career even though he had a good career and made over 60 million dollars. Honestly though nobody knows the truth we have only heard from him.

Definitely not eating crow. He lied and tried to shake down the Tuohys for $8,000,000.

Suing the people that took him in and financially supported him and helped him with his career doesn’t sound like gratitude to me.

The man was used! Its so obvious and clear. The sad part is that he was used on so many levels. God knows the motives when even good deeds are done! Now the truth is really coming out about the family. If the story was truly about Michael. Why does the Toughys children get any money? Also, They said, the only reason for the conservatorship was so he can play football for their alamotor. He was an all American when they met him. They saw the potential he had and took advantage of a situation. This is truly sad!

@@cliffordleslie4692 Ah yes how sad is it that he was taken in by a family that loved him and helped him out. If the movie didn’t portray him correctly why does he now have an issue with it instead of saying something earlier? He made money from the movie as well. All this time they were taking advantage of him but now he takes the opportunity to ‘stand up’ for himself? I doubt he was oblivious to such mistreatment for so long and just blew his nfl money.

Why do you think? lol

So they could steal his rights and so they can get the success of the movie RADIO

​@@FuhQMuhFuhCuzWell handouts can change lives right?

​@FuhQMuhFuhCuz what handouts? He didn't ask them to become his surrogate family. They chose that. He was already at the private school, already bound for college ball. He was smart enough to get into that fancy private school on scholarship. He would have given them everything just for being his family. Shame they felt the need to use him.

@renise011 Well, it seems you don't know much about Ohr's situation as he was enrolled into private school basically due to pity after failing to complete a semester of home study, but because of these pre-qualifications from the Headmaster it took him out of the public school system. The Headmaster basically felt guilty that he would have been the reason that Ohr would have had zero schooling unless he enrolled him anyways. Ohr entered the private school with a 0.6 GPA...extremely far from any ability to get a scholarship due to him being smart and his grades. Get the facts before posting dumb responses 🤣

@@morenpchangjw8868 And you know all of this how?

@@morenpchangjw8868 Good grief. Someone watched a movie and thought it was true. Oher was a fabulous footballer before the Touheys ever got their claws into him. SJ DID NOT TEACH OHER HOW TO PLAY FOOTBALL! There was NO reason for a conservatorship to be established for a legal adult. They got him to sign away his rights, and made sure he didn't get a Guardian ad Litem - a neutral party whose sole purpose would have been to make sure Oher understood every scrap of paper he signed. The Touhey's are shady AF. And if they can claim to be too rich for this to be about money, then so can Oher.

They took advantage of his situation, enriched themselves off his talent, misrepresented the relationship, etc. And now you wanna defend them when the story doesn’t make sense to the vast majority. We know why you’re disparaging him, bigot

Do you know how Oher's conservatorship was granted? When you can answer these questions, come back and tell us you wouldn't be pissed

I agree with a conservatorship till he was 25, but why did they tell him and the world it was an adoption? And he only found out now at 37 they have legal rights to put him in an institution, sold his likeness and image without him getting compensated for that and not tell him they have rights to his money until HE found out 20 years later.
