Retired NFL star Michael Oher, whose supposed adoption out of grinding poverty by a wealthy, white family was immortalized in the 2009 movie “The Blind Side,” petitioned a Tennessee court Monday with allegations that a central element of the story was a lie concocted by the family to enrich itself at his expense.

I feel like it should be noted that the family categorically denied this. They claim they did the conservatorship because of NCAA rules and that they are independently wealthy due to owning fast food chains.

You can’t just automatically assume that the person with the more compelling narrative is telling the truth. You need to wait until the facts come out.
