  1. “From #BritneySpears to #MichaelOher, conservatorships have been a hot topic lately. There are many questions surrounding when a #conservatorship or #guardianship is appropriate and how that is determined. The words conservatorship and guardianship are often used interchangeably; however, each state defines them differently.” jdsupra.com/legalnews/guardian #FreeingTeresa #canada #powerofattorney #truestory

  2. So dad ran down to the courthouse and signed over guardianship to my grandmother and got me enrolled.

    The name of that jackass principle? Stephen Simpson. The same guy whose next job was to be principal of Briarcrest, where #MichaelOher was first asked to risk chronic traumatic encephalopathy for the entertainment of rich while people.

  3. CW: Racism, Oher

    Trying to explain why the #MichaelOher #conservatership is bad even if they didn’t enforce all the provisions of it, given we live in a country rife with systemic racism, is probably a waste of time, but good grief people sure reveal their #racism quickly once you start to poke.

  4. They already got all the money they could, so of course they will now.

    After 19 years, the #Tuohys say they plan to terminate #MichaelOher's conservatorship

  5. I liked the movie "The Blind Side" as a story about compassion and hope prevailing. After reading npr.org/2023/08/15/1193809048/, I can no longer stand its reruns on TV. #TheBlindSide #MichaelOher #Tuohy

  6. #MichaelOher we hear you!!!

    Getting out of a Conservatorship at 37 is fairly ugly.

    The family should have explained it better.

    It says it was supposed to dissolve at age 25...... why did it not?!

  7. Update: Sean Tuohy has responded to Michael Oher's allegations, calling them "insulting" and contesting Oher's claim that the family made money from "The Blind Side. "“We didn’t make any money off the movie,” Tuohy told The Daily Memphian. “Well, [author] Michael Lewis gave us half of his share. Everybody in the family got an equal share, including Michael. It was about $14,000, each."

  8. (this is one reason the legal competency issues brought up in Allison Montclair's Sparks and Bainbridge series hit me so hard: people do this to other people; they claim it's out of altruism, but it often boils down to money, and it destroys the person being 'helped' via conservatorship)

  10. @BigAngBlack @[email protected] @[email protected] shameful how #MichaelOher was taken advantage of… that movie not only making millions off his name, but gaslighting how it all went down and robbing him of his story.

    That man has a giant heart and what happened to him as a boy and how much pain that's brought him as a man... there's not enough justice for the boy he was. I hope he finds some justice and more peace
