  1. I read it was not a conventional conservatorship agreement, NOT overseen by a judge as per common practice. Who would ensure or evaluate if he understands. I don't know if that is or not the situation here. Oher was 18, I don't think it's unreasonable to think an 18 year old could think 'conservatorship' is a legal term or part of 'adopting'. If represented as during discussions. Believe non parents looking after children is 'guardianship'.. their 'guardian' which he may have known with his family history. Oher may have just come across it now or as retired less distracted, more proactive with paperwork, Touhy's did alledge he stopped checking in checks.

  2.  @karenwaddell9396  The family have publicly been promoted as his saviour, including their own self promotion, virtue signalling. If he feels or understands it to have not been so pure I then understand him wanting to go public, legal route. Especially legal if their has been intentional misuse of conservatorship agreements, it's then a public awareness issue aswell as need for extra regulation.

  3. Did Touhy's use, send the all rights to name, conservatorship agreements in dealings with the film company? Or book publishers. No longer just for NHL purposes then. Closer link to personal benefits.

  4. They published a book about his story, attended numerous public functions, promotions related to film, book when Oher believes it misrepresented him.That maybe self interest, vanity attention, opportunities for them.

  5. Yes but also what mindset does he have to "choke" her. "That's what you do when you choke me" 0:39 Or to call her "sexy" when she says that's "for everything you've done to me" 0:18.

  6. ​ @hlowrylong  Wealth can change, theirs seems to have been largely tied up in property loans. Sean Tuohy interview : "I was five days from bankruptcy twice," he said, in the year 2001" "I think we started out negative," he said, referring to cash on hand, and money stayed tight most of his career as he poured back equity into buying more restaurants, and adding debt with each transaction." Article: Auspex Capital unwinds RGT Management with dose of philosophy Franchise Times He was a high financial risk, extreme wealth motivated individual. He would recognize royalties, book, film deals that he isn't funding is a low risk consistent financial cushion, safety net for regular cash income. If successful.

  7. In video Touhy lawyers state Oher picked his agents, he likely picked his own accountant. This conservatorship didn't involve dispensing, managing his finances from NFL once received, I think they would have said so. So Oher retained his earnings himself if so. "wealthy family" Sean's company had been almost bankcrupt twice in 2001. The conservatorship was not arranged, agreed by a judge. I doubt Sean, Touhy's would have been accepted, he has described how high risk he was financially. "loved the movie" when you were a "rockstar" Oher has repeatedly stated before this and here he felt misrepresented in the movie. I have read he was portrayed as intellectually slow. That would be disappointing if inaccurate and maybe not pleasant if was. "Behave and be grateful".. Oher has been thankful over many years. Previously he may out of respect didn't shout about what upset him in regards to relationship with Touhy's. You don't know how they treated him, you weren't there, are not Oher. Touhy family did draw attention to his talents but also their input, this may have been for self interest, you don't know. Oher is said to be shy. Touhy's have very much done there own book publications, film involvement/promotions, numerous public functions where they profit financially from. That is not in aid of Oher. Maybe vanity, attention seeking, enjoyment of flattery. Oher had a vulnerable, difficult childhood. If his welfare was important maybe Touhy's should have priotized keeping it simple, private, not cloud intentions. Giving helping a person does not make them immune to any legal consequences of deception or non payment of due payments. Neither does it entitle them to earn money off him, their is an ugly side to this, using him for their interests. That is wrong especially towards a vulnerable person at 18 who trust would have been difficult and important!!
