In a shocking admission on Tuesday, a lawyer for Sean and Leigh Anne Tuohy claimed that former NFL player Michael Oher had attempted to “plant” a nasty story regarding the Tennessee family in the media until they gave him $15 million.
The charges made about the Tuohy family in Oher’s petition to dissolve their guardianship were dismissed by renowned California attorney Martin Singer in a statement acquired by Fox News Digital, describing them as “hurtful and ridiculous.”
“Anybody with some sort of common sense can understand how damaging and ridiculous Michael Oher’s outrageous claims against the Tuohy family are. The concept that the Tuohys ever attempted to make money off of Mr. Oher is disrespectful and utterly ridiculous.”
“Sean and Leigh Anne are making a remarkable sum of funds in their dining business by hard work and great fortune,” Singer stated. It seems incomprehensible that a wealthy couple earning hundreds of millions of dollars would conspire to hold back some thousand dollars in revenue-sharing payouts from anybody, much less from a kid they cherished.
