Several parts of this (mostly from the UK version) caught my eye
"The notion that a couple worth hundreds of millions of dollars would connive to withhold a few thousand dollars in profit participation payments from anyone -- let alone from someone they loved as a son -- defies belief,' Singer said."
"'Over the years, the Tuohys have given Mr. Oher an equal cut of every penny received from The Blind Side,' Singer said. "
"Singer did acknowledge that the Tuohys 'received a small advance from the production company and a tiny percentage of net profits' from the film, which they either shared with Oher or tried to share with him, according to the attorney."
"Oher is asking for the public to respect his privacy during his legal battle"
"For his career, Oher earned $34.5 million."
Some things come to mind:
- I wonder who leaked this filing to the media?
- What does "tried to share with him" mean, exactly?
- If you wanted privacy, why would you write a book on your life and file a lawsuit when that book is released?
- If he earned +$34 million in his NFL career, does this lawsuit mean he blew it all?
-What does "an equal cut" mean, exactly? Does each person in the family (so, 5 people including Michael) get a cut? Or is it Tuhys get half and Michael gets half? That aside, why wouldn't Michael get most if not all of it? He was the main subject of this film. I don't get why they would take any of it to be honest.
In closing, I love big naturals
