This narrative is captured in “The Blind Side,” which followed a 2006 book of the same name by Michael Lewis. Oher sits on the beach during an NFL game between the Baltimore Ravens and the Buffalo Bills in 2010. A Tennessee judge terminated the Tuohy’s conservatorship over Oher in September. Tuohy sold his company for $220 million.” Oher declined to be interviewed for the CNN documentary, citing pending litigation, while the Tuohy family also declined an interview.
