Michael Oher's Brother Sean Tuohy Jr. Denies Family Made Millions From The Blind Side

However, the 30-year-old denied the assertion that their family made a large profit from the film starring Sandra Bullock, Tim McGraw and Quinton Aaron, which ended up grossing over $300 million after its release.

"Man, if I had $2 million in my bank account, it would be in my email signature and say, ‘Signed, SJ Tuohy, multi-millionaire,'" he said, adding, "I get it, why he's mad. I completely understand. It stinks that it'll play out on a very public stage."

But SJ went on to note that he doesn't have any negative feelings to share amid the legal move.

"You will never hear me say anything bad about Michael Oher in any capacity other than I'm upset that he feels the way that he does," SJ continued. "I think some of the things that were mentioned in the probate or book or whatever I don't necessarily agree with and or remember happening like that."

E! News has reached out to Michael's attorney and they declined to comment publicly.

In his 14-page petition obtained by E! News Aug. 14, Michael alleges that instead of the Touhys formally adopting him, he was "falsely advised" to sign a document that made the couple his conservators after he turned 18 years old in 2004.

The athlete accuses the Tuohys of having "enriched themselves," as well profiting from the "lie" and is seeking his fair share of profits, as well as unspecified compensatory and punitive damages. 

Shortly after the lawsuit was filed, SJ's dad Sean Tuohy Sr. reacted to the petition, noting that that his family is "devastated" over the allegations.

"It's upsetting to think we would make money off any of our children," he told the Daily Memphian Aug. 14. "But we're going to love Michael at 37 just like we loved him at 16." Sean also said that they "didn't make any money off the movie," but later clarified his stance.

"Well, Michael Lewis, the [author of the book on which the movie was based] gave us half of his share," he told the outlet. "Everybody in the family got an equal share, including Michael. It was about $14,000, each."

As for the former NFL player, he broke his silence after his filing, noting he was "disheartened by the revelation" of the conservatorship.

"This is a difficult situation for my family and me," Michael told the New York Post Aug. 14. "I want to ask everyone to please respect our privacy at this time. For now, I will let the lawsuit speak for itself."
