Hey Michael, I was an orphan kid lived in bad foster homes and orphanages for 18 yrs. I was a skinny white kid too small for football. Met some people when I was in college who took me in and made me part of their family. I loved them and they loved me. No money involved and there was no conservator paperwork. I am grateful for what they did for me and never asked them for anything. They were great Grandparents to my kids and my wife loved them too. They would have gladly given me anything I asked for. You landed in a good Briar Patch and you don't realize it. You need to rethink your situation and express some gratitude. Hope you see the light.

Age 37--TWO MEMOIRS!! Apparently he's done a LOT of living, but hasn't learned a thing.

Maybe the Tuohy family need to do an account of what it cost them for , school, food, clothing, accomodation, sports, tutors etc and send him an account of what he owes.

Very sad that this family is being hurt by a young man they truly wanted to help and took in as family. He is a liar and pathetic!!!!!!! He turned into a loser and needs money. Shame on him!

I’ll tell you what happened. He was BLM’d.

This is what happens when you tell an entire generation that skin color is the number 1 thing that matters above all else.

My bio mom had 13 kids and thank goodness we were all saved by the kindness of other families. I don't know where I'd be otherwise. I went on to "pay it forward" and I hope Michael will soon see the light and do the same. Michael spend a few weeks on Skid Row. Become a foster parent. Help others. It is your duty to pay it forward instead of being greedy and playing the victim over and over. Had you done any of these things, your next book would have been a big hit. I would never dream of trashing the family that gave me a new life. Michael shame on you. You have much to be grateful for. Stop and think of where you could have ended up without their love and caring heart. A Plea to the public-children need help-don't turn them away because of this sad story. It truly takes a village.

When Mr Oher states he did it himself, we all know that’s not true. Every single one of us are where we are today because of the people who “helped” us get here. Very sad he feels this way…

Michael Oher is playing the Prince Harry card. Whine about circumstances, and publish a book whining more, then cut a Netflix deal.

It is sad that this event will probably serve as a deterrent for many well intentioned families that won't want to take the risk of helping neglected kids from the streets.

Thank you, Jason Whitlock, for this full historical survey.

Great interview. That gentleman spoke the truth. Michael should be ashamed of himself.

He blew his money and now he is desperate.

There’s nothing that victim-culture doesn’t ruin when it claims a person’s mind.

No one can hurt you / betray you like your own kids/ family. 💯

It is pathetic how some people would rather someone be poor, hopeless, and on the streets and receive NO help…..then see them get help from someone from another racial group.

The greed and the Unforgivable lack of gratitude by Michael Oher for rescuing him from a hell hole *is EXACTLY the type of thing that will cause people to stop helping the disadvantaged.*

Just like that... transformed from a hero to a victim! How inspirational!

One of the things everyone has forgotten is, this is not solely Michael's story. This is the story of the Tuohy family also. There would be no story with out them. Michael never would have gotten a schlorship to any university with out their support, or the tudors they funded. He had a GPA that was way too low to qualify not only for a scholarship, but also college admissions. He likely would not have finished high school. The Tuohys traveled that road by Michael's side and held him up the whole time.

Imagine helping a kid off the street, giving him a home, love, money, using your connections to help him find a better team/college, so that he can become a star athlete and make it onto the biggest stage that even the most privileged families could only dreamed of, and be told, he didn't need your help at all.

Oher claims he didn’t get a single penny of residuals from the movie. The Tuohy’s said they split it evenly 5 ways among the family. This will be easy for the court to determine who is telling the truth.

He clearly is lying. He absolutely is doing this because of his book and because he couldnt shakedown the family. Kapernick did the same for his book. Called his parents racist. God will take care of it. Its unfortunate to be honest. Then to attack Sandra bullock who has NOTHING to do with it is horrible. She lost her partner a few weeks ago to a horrible disease. I try not to get mad anymore because you cant argue with stupid

No good deed goes unpunished.

I have 4 adult children. Three are adopted. My adopted son is grateful, kind loving. A great kid. My adopted daughters, however are the exact opposite. According to them, I destroyed their lives and I’m a worthless, narcissistic, horrible person. They still live at home. 28 and 22. I have to go to court to have them removed from my home. The pain they have caused me is unbearable.

I can tolerate a great deal of bad behaviour, but ungratefulness? NO. Can't stand these people. No matter how you look at this story, the dude is ungrateful. And that's very bad.

If not for the Tuohy Family, Michael Oher's future would've been nothing. Disgraceful he's doing what he's doing.

Absolutely fascinating! Wow. Sounds like Michael Oher has turned very ungrateful. Ungratefulness is quite unattractive, especially when others have bent over backwards and then some to help support him. So very very tragic. That betrayal is disgusting. We should feel sad Michael feels he needs to do this for money.

When the game checks stop it is amazing how these guys learn nothing in college and go broke so fast.

So he blew through his money and now wants them to prop up his shrinking bank account. So entitled and ungrateful. Will not read any book or watch any movie or documentary if he will benefit by it.

This is happening because: a) Michael is promoting his book and more importantly b) The Thuey's just recently sold their restaurant franchise for 200M. Bear in mind, they were wealthy prior to them becoming Michael's legal guardian NOT adoption. Huge differences. The End

So horribly sad!! How could he do that to them? This world is truly horrific. But thank you for highlighting all the good the family did for him!

I love that the family has hired an attorney to fight this betrayal of him. The truth will come out, they kept proper records.

Heartbreaking for the Tuohy's and for Michael Oher. I can't imagine how it must hurt to care about someone and go above and beyond to help him and then to be attacked by that very person and have to fight back. Very sad, and not a good look for Michael Oher.

I feel sorry for Michael Oher. This guy has been race-baited by libs and his own community since the Tuohy's took him in. The movie only made things worse. The movie I saw (many times) was a sweet story about a family giving a down-on-his-luck kid a break. I never saw him as dumb or not talented. But, he has been repeatedly told that he gets no credit for his accomplishments. That is not true. The ones looking at it that way are the racists. If he didn't work hard to improve his grades there would have been no football career. Period. He's been brainwashed and it's very sad. He's losing a family who really loves him.

Someone has been "whispering" in Oher's ear he deserves millions from the Tuohy family, and he's been convinced this is the just thing to do. Given the racial environment going on, he's been convinced it is a just motion.

Thank you for this video. I was SO disappointed when I heard Michael Oher's claims against the Tuohy family. I feel so much better now that there are genuinely good people.

Another sick thing of this "saying its his story" . There would be no story if it were not for this kind family! Disgusting

This is so sad. He was given the absolute best chance of a lifetime. Be grateful. 🙏

This is sad that Michael Oher is turning on his family that gave him opportunities he may never have had- it breaks my heart that he’s now dumping on them 😢😢😢

I hope this doesn’t discourage others from helping the less fortunate. The movie inspired me to foster several kids and coach little league players

The Tuohy's were worth several hundred million dollars when they opened up their home to Michael Oher. Who do you think paid the tuition costs for that very elite Briarwood private school that they somehow got him into? They hired tutors to work with him because he had no GPA that would allow him to even graduate from high school much less attend a university. Mr. Oher had serious problems. Only he knows why he is trying to shake down the only real family he has ever had. Everything Michael Oher has had or ever will have is made possible through the love and generosity of the Tuohy's. Guess what? Had the Tuohy family never crossed paths with Michael Oher, they would still be worth several hundred million dollars today. What if Michael Oher had never been taken in by the Tuohy family. There would no All-American LT who attended Ole' Miss on a full ride athletic scholarship. He would not have been a #1 draft choice of the Baltimore Ravens. He would have not been named as an All Pro several times during his career. There would be no Super Bowl ring on his finger. Yes, Michael earned those honors and all that money due to his talent, however, had the Tuohy's not brought him into their family and provided him with the education and opportunities critical to his overall success, he would have never gotten out of the streets of Memphis. That's a fact.

Michael had 14 years to make these claims. Why did this not happen in 2010?. If he was cut out of the movie profits then he should have complained back then. Michael had a long NFL career. He made plenty of money. Michael is just trying to grab some cash and sell his latest book. Shame on Michael. He needs to be examined for signs of post concussion syndrome. Jason is a good man. Shame on you Michael

And then there’s Collin Kapernick shaming his adoptive family.

He reportedly still has a net worth in the millions including property owned such as his mansion home and fancy collection of vehicles. However, it continues to be in a downward spiral from his NFL days with no real career. The $15 million payoff he requested was all about shoring up his finances so he could continue the lifestyle he has become accustomed to showing off to others. He is willing to throw under the bus the family that took him in to do so.

Never has the phrase "No good deed goes unpunished" been more applicable. I hope they televise the lawsuit trial and tear his story apart in front of the masses, lie by lie, "Amber Heard" style.

No good deed goes unpunished...

You guys could just ask someone in Oxford/Ole Miss… We could have told you most of this years ago. Sean T. recently sold his business for $200 million. Michael married someone who convinced him he deserved more money. That it.

This is going to scare a lot of families away from taking in kids from the foster system.

This story epitomises the self obsessed, self entitled, unappreciative culture we live in today.😒🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾

Michael Oher's new-found attitude toward the family that helped him is beyond sad. It kind of makes a person wonder why bother helping people like Michael Oher. He could have sold his book without trashing the family. Michael should start talking about the 75% illegitimate black baby rate within the black American community and how in the 1960's that rate was 25%...if Michael wants to talk about something.

I think the movie DOES highlight him and his willingness to let this family help him succeed not only in the opportunities for a football career but also a good education. His drive and determination got him where he is, they just opened doors for him, lovingly!

Thank you for clearing this story up. I am praying for Michael and the Tuohy's.

What a POS to do that to the Tuohy family.

I always wanted to adopt a kid in trouble, but thought better of it when this backfired on a couple in my family. Now, I just donate money & let the government take care of the problem. I realize my attitude is BAD, and I feel guilty feeling this way; however, I also don't need this destruction in my life & (more importantly) my family's life.

NEVER BITE THE HAND OF THE PERSON that feed you when you needed it the most!

Awareness is one thing, honesty and fairness is quite another.

The Tuohys dodged a bullet by not adopting Oher.

No good deed goes unpunished…ask the Kaepernick family.

No good deed goes unpunished. I wonder if Michael has ever stopped to think about where he would be today without that family. Obviously not.

Great interview with Jason. It is easy to see what really happened here. Nice job..

Jason has to be one of the best prepared and most articulate commentators out there. Never seems to get caught up in political or woke noise.

Nothing has ever been brought up about the family interfering in any contract he's made as an adult. He had his career, got married and had children, and seemed to continue a good relationship with the Tuohy family. Now that he needs to keep his name in the spotlight to promote his book, publisher PR perhaps, he's been abused.

The lesson is don't help people like him. And to think that people had the nerve to demand Sandra Bullock give back her Oscar for the role. SMH!

The Tuohy family did alot for him. I doubt he would have made it without their help. I wonder where his 11 siblings are now. I’m sure the Tuohy are really hurt by his actions. Disgraceful!!

Hes just so ungrateful, Black privilege.

Two of my favorite people offering logical discussion.

He is highly impressionable. Whoever is behind this lawsuit is the villain. Praying for reconciliation. Go home, Michael.

It just goes to show that it doesn’t matter how kind you are and how much you try to help some people, you cannot change what they really are. And what he really is just came out.

You really think MO at 18 had the ability to manage contracts or any financial agreement? Come on Tuohy haters they don’t or did need his money. It’s been 24 years Michael?

This isn’t anything new. From experience I can tell you that when a family member passed away without a solid living trust. The family meaning the siblings, kids, sometimes relative will do anything to get their piece of the pie. Sometimes never speaking to each other ever again. This is what Oher did to the family that loved him.

This is sad. They gave him so much. Yet, he wants more. They took in a 18 year old homeless boy and helped him get through high school and college. They paid for Tutors. They helped him get his driver's license. They purchased vehicles for him. Micheal Oher wasted the money he made from the NFL. The family sold off the restaurant chains to retire. Now, Michael Oher wants a part of the restaurant retirement money in his greed.

This man has done his homework and makes more sense than any other channel I’ve seen. No more confusion for me

Any likeability he ever had is gone...Put his book right next to Spare...in the recycle bin !

Blindside 2: Bite the hands that feed you by Michael Oher...Highlights of story..The struggle after I failed my football carreer, I went back to rob, the family that help me...Buy my book.

Absolutely right. The family gave him love and he is ungrateful! He has been a disappointment. He was given a tutor and did well in school. The family did for him more than most kids get! I'm disappointed in Michael.

It’s pretty simple. He ran out of money. How ungrateful he is to the family that brought him out of poverty.

Hmmm. Mr. Oher got a college education and several million in his resulting NFL career. How much did he share with the Tuochy’s?

Thank you both for this truthful story.

Family go to each other and try to work things out, they don’t file lawsuits. His goal was to get to college and to play in the NFL, but he could not have done that without the support from the Tuohy family. They helped with his grades, with a tutor and monetarily and with love. They didn’t know if he would be a success or not at the end of the day!

Dilbert was 100% correct.

This makes me so sad. As soon as I heard that Michael was planning to sue his adoptive parents, I figured he forgot all that they did for him. 😓😓😓

The banner over this entire situation is ingratitude.

I live in Memphis here are the facts ! The Tuohy lady is FEDEX BILLIONAIRE FRED SMITH'S DAUGHTER ! HER HUSBAND WHEN SHE MARRIED HIM = HE ALREADY OWNED over 300 franchised Restaurant's his net worth is 180-250 million dollars . They were worth this when she first met Oher who was 18 at the time , folks you cannot adopt and 18 yr old . Oher was at best and avg NFL player , his earnings for his entire career was 16 million gross and then 33/13 to the agent federal and local taxes= he is now broke because he was to ignorant to keep the 8 million he had left ! So now this ! Had it not been for these folks he would I never made it to NFL they sent him to schools where he could . The Tuohy's got just 100k for the movie . He is hoping for a settlement but Tuohy lawyers say no way = good for them .

This is a deep lie, and I would not be surprised to see this tail spin into a full on dangerous depression for Mike. I’m hoping he can just come out with the exact truth and be reconciled to his adoptive family.

Ugh. No good deed goes unpunished. Shame on him. Now others will be afraid to help kids in need! 🤮

No good deed goes unpunished !!!

LOVE your shirt, Megyn ❤❤❤❤

I cannot fathom that he is doing this to the family that helped him with EVERYTHING!!!! Ungrateful to the Max! I hope the Tuohy Family wins

The internet is an amazing thing. You can look up the fact that he moved in with the Toughies in 2004 and that he became an All American in 2008. Amazing.

He officially retired in 2018. The Tuohy's sold their restaurants in 2019 for more that $200 million dollars. Seems to me he feels he's entitles to a cut of that. He admitted he had a tutor for years, yet cries about being portrayed as stupid. He seems to be ignorant of the fact that if his GPA was 2.5 or less (I'm pretty sure 0.06 is an indicator of an extremely low scholastic score.), he would have NEVER gotten a high school diploma, a scholarship to college, nor been eligible to be drafted by the NFL. but, the Tuohy's didn't really help him. He's living in an alternate reality where he took charge of his life and destiny without any help. Yeah, right!😅

I remember many were condemning this family take him in from the start. They wanted it to fail.

This reminds me of the farmer and snake story. You can help them, love them and care for them but at the end they'll still bite you back. It's in their blood. Just leave them on the roadside.

I'm glad people on the other side are talking about this. "Never bite the hand that feeds you" is how I've been raised. He makes it sound like he's a victim, and he's making it harder for others who are struggling with homelessness because now people will have to step back and reconsider if they might put themselves in a position which might make them appear negatively when their intentions are that of a helping nature. It sounds like he's become used to a certain lifestyle and now that he can no longer maintain that lifestyle, he's playing the ghetto card by victimizing his situation. Maybe they tried to help him by getting him to do other things, like their own kids, rather than mooching and feeling sorry for himself? He made some harsh claims, even if he's right, whatever money is to be had from the conservatorship wouldn't amount to what he thinks he deserves and it wouldn't get him far. It's unfortunate he felt it was worth burning a bridge between people that helped him, but he'll know his worth soon enough. It wouldn't surprise me if he sued them again for making him believe in himself instead of helping him cope as a pos.

I bet that family regrets it now. Him and Kaepernick should be embarrassed of themselves.

Ungrateful is the word. It’s sad.

Man, that's gratitude for you, this dude is a real sweet heart, trying to cash in on all the BS going on now days.

Interview is well done. Jason has done his homework and given a neutral but honest account. Between Child Protective Services, school records and many involved people all the accounts of Michaels life is so easily traced. Such a hurtful shame.

Proves that no good deed goes unpunished..

i guess he doesn't want to get a regular job..

You can take the kid out of the hood but you can’t remove the hood mentality out of the kid! Mr. Oher is just despicable, he should be beyond grateful for what was GIVEN to him.
