The 2007 hit "The Blind Slide" is perceived as an uplifting feel-good movie starring one of Hollywood's loveable, favorite Oscar winners Sandra Bullock. As the cultural tide has shifted over the years, the film has been mired in controversy. Recently there have been concerning allegations uncovered behind the story that inspired the Oscar-nominated film, which was loosely based on the life of Michael Oher, his adoption story and his eventual career highs as he was drafted into the NFL.
But the real-life story may not be as shiny as "The Blind Slide" portrayed it to be. Oher, now 37, filed a lawsuit earlier this week detailing allegations that he was never legally adopted by Sean and Leigh Anne Tuohy (whom Bullock portrayed in the film). He alleged that the Tuohys deceived him and profited from his fictionalized life story depicted in "The Blind Slide."
