Ravens Ex Michael Oher Actor on 'Blind Side' Controversy: 'Leave Sandra Bullock Alone!'

The latest on Ravens ex Michael Oher and "The Blind Side'' controversy: Sadness for actress Sandra Bullock.
In this story:

None of this is the fault of the Baltimore Ravens, as their involvement with Michael Oher was very much a positive capper to "The Blind Side'' story that won Sandra Bullock a "Best Actress'' Oscar.

But the Ravens family is surely fascinated and saddened by the turn of events, including the tumultuous times for Bullock, who is heartbroken for a reason larger than who deserves the financial bonanza from Oher's story.

Bullock's longtime partner, Bryan Randall, has died at 57 years old, after a private battle with ALS.

"I found the love of my life. ... It's the best thing ever," Bullock said during an interview in 2021.

Bullock, who played Leigh Anne Tuohy, the mom who "adopted'' Oher as a teenager, is taking heat from some fans in the wake of the lawsuit in which Oher claims the Tuohy family did not include him in the profits from his own life story.

"Sandra did nothing wrong," said actor Quinton Aaron, who portrayed Oher in the film. "That’s my girl and she is going through a really tough time right now. I really feel like they should leave her alone and stop trying to come at her.”

The 2009 film "The Blind Side" grossed $300 million. The Tuohys are denying having blocked Oher from profiting, with their lawyer labeling this a "shakedown.''

Sean Tuohy, Oher's "father figure'' in the story, said that he and his family were "devastated" by Oher's accusations this week and claimed that the conservatorship was done in the name of both allowing Oher to play football at Mississippi and the closest thing he could've had to legal adoption after he turned 18.
