The Oscar-winning film's subjects became tied up in a concerning legal rift this week.
“Everybody should be mad at the Hollywood studio system,” Lewis said. “Michael Oher should join the writers’ strike. It’s outrageous how Hollywood accounting works, but the money is not in the Tuohys’ pockets.”
Lewis, also the author of bestsellers-turned-films “Moneyball” and “The Big Short,” alleged that he and the Tuohy family received around $350,000 each from the profits of the movie after agent fees and taxes. He told The Post that the Tuohys “planned to share the royalties among the family members, including Oher, but Oher began declining his royalty checks.” Lewis added that “he believed the Tuohy family had deposited Oher’s share in a trust fund for Oher’s son.
“I think it’s sad. I certainly don’t claim to understand all the ins and outs of adoption, conservatory, all of that. I know what I witnessed,” Freeze said. “I witnessed a family that totally took in a young man and I think without that, there is no story.” when Oher played for the Rebels. Freeze later became Ole Miss’ head coach from 2012 to 2016.
“I know this: If Michael called Sean right now and said let’s work this thing out, Sean and Leigh Anne would be there in a hurry to hug his neck and tell him he’s loved,” Freeze said. “I hope he feels that. Until you walk in people’s shoes, I don’t claim to have all the answers to anything, but I think whatever happens will happen. The facts will come out. But I love both sides of it.
