In new court documents, via E!, Sean and Leigh Anne went on record saying they never intended to adopt him.
“They vehemently deny having seen [Michael] as a gullible young man whose athletic talents could be exploited for his own benefit,” the documents read. “He [Tuohys] “They admit that they never intended to take, and in fact never took, any steps to assume legal custody through the Juvenile Court of Shelby County, Tennessee.”
The family later added that conservatorship was explored so Michael could play college football.
“When it became clear that [Michael] I couldn’t consider going to the University of Mississippi (Ole Miss) as a result of living with [Tuohys], the NCAA made it clear that the only way he could attend Ole Miss was if he were part of the Tuohy family in some way,” the documents continued. “Guardianship was the tool chosen to achieve this goal.”
As part of the lawsuit, Michael also raised questions about how much the Tuohy family made from profits from The blind side.
