Would it be helpful to stop someone from handing over money to drug addict parent? Or someone who allowed himself to have a conservator for almost 19 years through multiple NFL contracts and a marriage up until he was 37 years old?

I don’t really think I would be ready to legally adopt an adult I had only known for 1 to 2 years. You can treat an adult like family, support them, and have them live with you without adoption or a conservatorship, but I can see being concerned about his past trying to influence him or come around looking for money. He obviously still had issues from childhood going into college. This was also pre-NIL, and this could limit what he could sign, be tricked into, and affect his eligibility.

After the movie the mom became more famous than Oher. She was also at least half the story if not more because of the movie and Sandra Bullock. Oher can seemingly only bring up the movie, and the writer of the book has probably best answer on what they all made.

I don’t think they are saints or anything close, but they were rich before Oher & movie. They got famous after movie.

Oher was embarrassed by portrayal and came out with his own book 2 years after the movie. He has mentioned he started to have concerns before but wanted to wait until he finished playing in the NFL which happened after 2016 season. He says he found out for sure in Feb 2023 (took at least 7 years) and still waited 6 months to end conservatorship.

What else happened since 2016 season?
The tuohys sold business they had before they knew Oher for close to $200 million.
And:

quote:
Oher began dating Tiffany Roy after first meeting at the University of Mississippi. They went on to have four children together; two sons and two daughters. The couple got engaged on July 21, 2021, and married on November 5, 2022 in Nashville, Tennessee. At the time of their marriage, the couple had been together for 17 years.

Tiff waited long enough and wants some reparations
