NASHVILLE, Tenn. (NEWsnet/AP) — Michael Oher, former NFL tackle known for the movie “The Blind Side,” has filed a petition accusing Sean and Leigh Anne Tuohy of lying to him by having him sign documents making them his conservators, rather than his adoptive parents, nearly two decades ago.

In the petition, filed Monday in Shelby County Probate Court, Oher asks for the conservatorship to be terminated and full accounting of the money earned from the use of his name and story.

He also asks to be paid what he is due along with interest. Oher also requests that the Tuohys be sanctioned and required to pay compensatory and punitive damages determined by the court.

ESPN.com first reported the petition.

Steve Farese, a lawyer for the Tuohys, told The Associated Press they will file an answer to the allegations in court.

Leigh Anne Tuohy did not immediately respond to an email sent to her personal website.

In the petition, Oher says he learned in February that the Tuohys remain his conservators.

Oher accuses the Tuohys of never trying to take legal action to assume custody from the Tennessee Department of Human Services before he turned 18. The conservatorship paperwork was filed Aug. 4, 2004 — after Oher turned 18 in May of that year.

Other was the 23rd overall pick in the 2009 draft and played eight seasons in the NFL.

“The Blind Side” was nominated for an Oscar, and Sandra Bullock won the Academy Award for her portrayal of Leigh Anne Tuohy.
