That’s a terrible argument. Nothing is stopping oher from trying to get speaking engagements and making money. And BTW, It is their story too. How hard is it to understand? He made 34mm in NFL and blew it. So now he’s going after them. They didn’t take anything from him
Where are you getting that he blew all his money from?
Well it was Reported that his NW was $16mm a few years ago and now north of $10mm. While a lot for most at that run rate it will dwindle quickly. Certainly appears his outflows are much greater than inflows
I’ve not seen those numbers anywhere. You’ll have to provide a link
I wonder how much the Touhy's spent clothing, housing, feeding, buying a vehicle, and paying a tutor to get Oher into Ole Miss?
Not enough to steal his legal right to personhood
I don’t think they stole his personhood?
Did they make money off the story that he was a central part of? Yes.
Were they a part of that story as well? Yes.
Dis they lie and say “adoption” vs. “conservatorship”? Yes, but how many people would actually even know what in the world that is?
The courts will settle this. I don’t quite understand the hatred.
Good questions!!
The type of conservatorship he was put under does remove your rights as a person
Is there any evidence they did that? That wasn’t in the lawsuit, was it? I thought it was about money. Serious question. I haven’t followed this closely.. just here on this thread.
Yes, he was in a conservatorship of the person
But did they steal anything from him? He signed his NFL contract. He made his NFL salary. Evidently he blew his salary.
Either way I don't care enough about him or them to worry about any of it. I was just curious about how much they did for him before knowing there would be a book and movie.
No one has shown that he has blown his money
Theres also no evidence that the Tuohys (who are worth about $100m) took any money at all from MO.
One thing about this situation, nobody but the direct people involved will ever know what truly happened in this situation. All we are doing is speculating based on "reporting". As we know not all reporters report the actual truth.
