Did Harry Styles ghost on Jade Thirlwall? ( Photo Credit – Instagram )

Once upon a time, the paths of One Direction and Little Mix used to cross in more ways than one. Be it the success they achieved as teenage bands, be it Zayn Malik dating Perrie Edwards, or Harry Styles having gone on a date with Jade Thirlwall. X-Factor brought together groups of individuals who achieved massive success and formed interpersonal relationships.

Back to Jade, the Little Mix alum recently spoke about how Harry went on to ghost her after their date and how they later met again. The two of them have moved on in their careers and lives since that time but here’s what the Little Mix alum revealed about their date and the ghosting that followed.

In 2009, the world was introduced to the ‘inspiring’ story of Michael Oher through The Blind Side—the movie that tugged at heartstrings and propelled Sandra Bullock to an Oscar win. It’s the story of a poor, homeless young man named Michael Oher who is taken in by the Tuohy family, most notably Leigh Anne Tuohy, played by Bullock. The film paints a picture of the Tuohys as benevolent figures who help Oher overcome the odds to become a football star. But now, more than two decades later, a dark truth has emerged.

Oher’s legal petition has uncovered some uncomfortable truths about how the Tuohy family, while presenting themselves as saviors, may have been playing a different game altogether. In fact, the character of the lawyer we once thought was just...

Jesy Nelson is going to be a mom for the first time!

The 33-year-old former Little Mix star she revealed she is expecting twins with on-again, off-again 26-year-old musician boyfriend Zion Foster.

She shared a photograph on her Instagram alongside the musician, months after the two reportedly split in September, noting that she’s “eating for three now.”

The couple were first linked in January 2022 before splitting in November 2023, eventually reconciling before breaking up again last September. However, based on the photo, it seems the two are back on track together.

The two also addressed their age gap in a song, with Jesy declaring: “He’s 25, I’m 33. He’s the realest man I’ll ever meet.”

Jesy‘s bandmates have opened up about rifts and rumors since she left the band. Along with Jesy, Perrie Edwards and Leigh-Anne Pinnock have also welcomed babies.

Julia Roberts and Sandra Bullock have been contemporaries with both proving themselves as capable commercial leading ladies in Hollywood. Roberts and Bullock made their breakthrough in the 1980s and became stars in their own right during the following decade eventually winning a Best Actress Academy Award.

Moreover, Roberts and Bullock share an uncanny similarity as both won their Oscar for playing a character based on a real-life figure. However, the outcome of the two movies couldn’t have been more different. While Roberts’ film was praised by the person who inspired it, Bullock’s film landed in controversy years after it was released, and here is everything you need to know about it.

The 2009 biographical sports drama, The Blind Side, ended up working in Sandra Bullock’s favor. The actress who has been absolutely exceptional in all her performances won her first and only Academy Award to date. The film was the talk of the town when it was released. A story of acceptance and second chances, The Blind Side captivated the hearts of its audience and showed us that there really isn’t a bigger superpower than love.

However, Sandra Bullock had her fair share of doubts when it came to saying yes to the film. Why? Well, she simply couldn’t relate to the fictional family she was going to be a part of thanks to their conservative beliefs. She also admitted that she didn’t necessarily feel comfortable around “white, Southern, Christian, Republicans” as they are not appreciative of her,...

The post Cardi B, Anitta, Dove Cameron, and Damiano David in the Front Row of the Balmain Show in Paris first appeared on Xmag UK.

Music stars took over at the Balmain Spring/Summer 2025 fashion show held during Paris Fashion Week on Wednesday (September 25) in Paris.

Cardi B, Anitta and cute couple Dove Cameron and Damiano David were all in attendance to check out the latest collection from creative director Olivier Rousteing.

Other singers attending the show were Hongjoong, Ayra Starr and Leigh-Anne Pinnock, as well as models Candice Swanepoel, Jourdann Dunn and Taylor Hill, actresses Marisa Abela and Lola Tung, Ava Phillippe, Brooklyn Beckham and Nicola Peltz, Olivia Palermo and France’s first lady Brigitte Macron.

“For Spring 2025, my team and I set our sights on a much more recent history, as we riff upon the codes, themes and now-iconic styles of the 21st-century Balmain—referencing many of the looks that I first began sending down the Balmain runway thirteen years ago,” Olivier shared in a statement about the collection.

“We’ve kept this collection extremely focused,...

Jade Thirlwall’s life outside of Little Mix is still taking shape. Earlier this year, the singer and songwriter shared her debut solo single “Angel of My Dreams,” a theatric commentary on pop stardom and the music industry machine. Her latest release, the dizzying club track “Midnight Cowboy,” creates a musical bridge as she continues building on the world she established with her first single.

“I didn’t want you all to have to wait so long for music again,” Jade wrote on social media yesterday, describing the new release...

The Blind Side's resurgence is the perfect reminder to watch Remember the Titans, a superior sports drama that stars Denzel Washington. Remember the Titans focuses on team unity and tackles integration in 1971, though it's only loosely based on real-life events. Unlike The Blind Side, Remember the Titans avoids perpetuating a harmful white savior narrative.

The Blind Side, an incredibly divisive biopic from 2009, is trending on Netflix but the film's sudden resurgence is actually the perfect reminder to watch a superior sports drama that stars Denzel Washington. Written and directed by John Lee Hancock (Saving Mr. Banks), the controversial movie adapts a 2006 book of the same name in order to tell The Blind Side's true story of Michael Oher, an offensive lineman who grew up in the foster-care system. Despite a difficult home life with his biological mother, who's navigating substance-use disorder, Michael leaves his new placements to return home.

Sandra Bullock starred as Leigh Anne Tuohy in The Blind Side, now streaming on Netflix. Bullock won an Oscar for her role in The Blind Side, which is among her best movies, despite recent controversy. The Blind Side's true story is disputed, with Michael Oher filing a lawsuit claiming the Tuohys tricked him into agreeing to a conservatorship.

Sandra Bullock starred in The Blind Side in 2009, and almost 13 years later, it's available to stream on Netflix (coincidentally following a newfound controversy concerning The Blind Side's subjects). Bullock's list of movie credits is quite long and impressive, especially regarding its diversity. She has appeared in multiple popular romantic comedies, Academy-Award-winning dramas (Speed and The Blind Side), and high-grossing blockbusters. Consequently, Bullock is one of Hollywood's highest-paid and renowned actresses.

For The Blind Side, Bullock was nominated for her performance as Leigh Anne Tuohy at the 82nd Academy Awards in 2010 and won.

Michael Oher filed a lawsuit claiming that the depiction of his adoption in the movie "The Blind Side" was a lie and that the Tuohy family tricked him and profited off his name. The success of "The Blind Side" was partially due to its marketing as a true story, showcasing hope and determination, which appealed to audiences. A judge ruled to end the conservatorship held by the Tuohy family in September 2023.

Almost 14 years after the release of The Blind Side, Michael Oher came out with his side of the story, claiming that the movie, which was marketed as "based on a true story," was rooted in lies. The 2009 biographical sports drama was inspired by Michael Lewis' 2006 novel of the same name, which primarily focuses on the evolution of American football strategy but also touches on Oher's tale. Oher was a professional football tackle for eight seasons, having played for the Baltimore Ravens,...

Leigh-Anne Pinnock hints that a Little Mix reunion will happen sometime in the future as The X-Factor UK winners pursue their solo careers.

Pinnock, Perrie Edwards, and Jade Thirlwall went on hiatus following their Confetti Tour in 2022 and, at one point, considered staying together.

“The three of us have this genuine sisterhood, and no one else will ever get it,” Pinnock said in an interview with Dork. “In fact, that last tour was so beautiful that there were times when we asked if we should just carry on as Little Mix because it felt so good. I don’t think it would have worked at that point in our lives, though.”

It’s been two years since the group went on an indefinite hiatus, and Pinnock assures fans that a reunion will happen.

“I miss them so much. When you’ve worked so hard for something, and you finally get it,...

Perrie Edwards‘ debut solo single is out now!

The 30-year-old Little Mix singer just dropped her first solo single titled “Forget About Us,” which she co-wrote with Ed Sheeran and legendary songwriter David Hodges.

Actor, writer and director Aml Ameen is plotting a sequel to festive film Boxing Day, as well as thriller project Night And Day, here are the details.

While Britain has produced a number of films that grew into festive favourites like Scrooge, Love, Actually and Arthur Christmas, there are a number of festive films that flew under the radar, like Eddie Izzard’s Lost Christmas.

One such film is Boxing Day, which was released in 2019. Notable as being the first British Christmas film with an almost entirely black cast. It came from actor and writer Aml Ameen, who directed the film and co-wrote the script with Bruce Purnell.

He also starred as Melvin Mackenzie, a successful author who returns home to confront his chaotic family and his past. Aja Naomi King played Lisa, a Hollywood casting director who accompanies Ameen’s Melvin home to face Georgia, his chart-topping pop-star ex,...

Exclusive: Aml Ameen, who portrays Dr.Martin Luther King in Rustin, reveals that he’s in talks with Film4 and the BFI to direct and star in the sequel to holiday romance Boxing Day, his feature directorial debut — and he has a second film, a crime saga called Night and Day that he wants to make soon.

That’s not all, because the L.A.-based Brit is in London prepping to play a “transformative” lead role in an as-yet-unannounced film.

The hush-hush part in the secret film requires him to “shut down my entire life because” of the life-changing nature of the character he’ll be playing.

While Ameen’s shooting that film, he’ll pop up as a lawyer alongside Jeff Daniels in the six-part Netflix drama A Man in Full, an the adaptation of Tom Wolfe’s novel written by David E. Kelley and directed by Regina King,...

Michael Oher – the former NFL tackle whose story was the subject of the Oscar-winning The Blind Side – has apparently demanded Leigh Anne and Sean Tuohy pony up $15 million in royalties from the movie after they allegedly exploited his life. And if they don’t, he’ll go right to the place where this sort of story flourishes: TMZ.

As per TMZ – who has obtained legal documents over the strife between Oher and the Tuohy family – the former football player would claim that the Tuohy family “robbed [him] of fifty million+”, although he significantly lowered the number to $10 million as the case progressed. After Leigh Anne and Sean Tuohy rebuffed that number, he upped it to $15 million after taxes. Oher has allegedly continued his threats. According to one text, Oher wrote, “If something isn’t resolved this Friday, I’m going to go ahead and tell the world, how I was robbed...

Micahel Oher demanded that Leigh Anne and Sean Tuohy stop calling themselves his parents after the termination of his conservatorship in a new court filing.

Oher has filed a motion to prevent the Tuohy’s from profiting off his name, image and likeness alongside claims that the Tuohy’s adopted Oher or are their adopted parents.

In court documents, which were filed on November 14 in the probate court of Shelby County, Tennessee, Oher claims that the Tuohys are continuing to “perpetuate false claims that they adopted him” and continuing with “book events” as Oher’s parents without his consent.

The filing was cited in response to an event at Eastern State Florida College in which Leigh Anne was scheduled to be one of the guest speakers with the description of her being “the adoptive mother of NFL football star Oher.”

“The Former Co-Conservators have used this [name, image and likeness] property of their former ward,...

“It was a complex and painful thing to come to terms with. We all felt it, that pain and sadness. The whole thing felt like a weird break-up, and I wasn’t prepared for it,” Leigh-Anne wrote of Jesy leaving the group.

“I wasn’t prepared for the intensity of those emotions. The whole thing was abrupt and sad and then it was messy, which made it even more painful.”

There’s a viral quote going around that’s being attributed to Halle Bailey, but it didn’t come from her!

Michael Oher‘s conservatorship will officially be terminated.

The 37-year-old retired NFL star filed a lawsuit in August asking to have the conservatorship that he entered when he was adopted by Sean and Leigh Anne Tuohy dissolved. His relationship with the family inspired the hit movie The Blind Side.

On Friday (September 29), a judge agreed to honor Michael‘s request.

Keep reading to find out more…

People confirmed that Judge Kathleen Gomes announced that she would be freeing the athlete from the conservatorship. This will effectively give him back control of his finances, which the Tuohy’s assumed when he signed the paperwork.

In his initial filing, Michael alleged that he was tricked into the conservatorship and had not received royalties for The Blind Side.

Sean responded, denying the latter claim. The family’s lawyer also alleged that Michael threatened to leak unflattering stories to the press.

They later claimed...

Sean and Leigh Anne Tuohy claim in new court docs that they referred to the NFL alum as a ‘son’ in the ‘colloquial sense.’

Sean Tuohy and Leigh Anne Tuohy have filed a response to Michael Oher‘s lawsuit. In the new legal documents, which Et obtained, the Tuohys deny Michael’s claim that they lied about adopting him and tricked him into making them his conservators in order to profit off of his story.

Rather, in the Tuohys’ response, the couple claims “they never intended to, and in fact never did, take any assumed legal custody” of Michael when they took him in as a teenager. Further, they “vehemently deny” that they told Michael “that they intended to legally adopt him.”

Even so, the Tuohys admit that they “occasionally referred to [Michael] as a son” and have “always felt [he] was like a son.” However, the Tuohys alleged that the word...

The producers behind the Academy Award-winning movie The Blind Side have published a detailed statement addressing a legal filing by former NFL player Michael Oher, whom the film depicts.

Oher’s lawsuit against Leigh Anne and Sean Tuohy has questioned the movie’s accuracy. In a legal petition against the Tuohy’s, Oher claims that the couple lied about adopting him and that the two manipulated him at 18 into naming them his conservators. Oher also alleges that he didn’t get any of the box office profits that the Tuohy family received.

Blind Side producers Broderick Johnson and Andrew Kosove are now defending the film as accurate.

“The Blind Side is verifiably authentic and will never be a lie or fake, regardless of the familial ups and downs that have occurred subsequent to the film. We are as proud of the film today as we were when our amazing collaborators made the movie 14 years ago,...

Who would have thought 2009’s The Blind Side would be tied to one of the strangest entertainment stories of 2023? Earlier this month, former pro football player Michel Oher launched a lawsuit that claims Leigh Anne and Sean Tuohy exploited the story to profit millions of dollars without cutting Oher himself in. Now, producers on the Oscar-winning movie have chimed in, saying that it remains “authentic” despite what has and will come out during the legal battle.

In a statement shared with Entertainment Weekly, Broderick Johnson and Andrew A. Kosove – who earned Oscar nominations for producing The Blind Side – said, “The Blind Side is verifiably authentic and will never be a lie or fake, regardless of the familial ups and downs that have occurred subsequent to the film,” adding that the acts of the Tuohy parents and the spirit of the teenage Oher remain at the forefront. “We saw it in...

The Blind Side controversy exposes the exploitative nature of the Sports Industrial Complex, particularly in terms of high school recruitment and college sports. Michael Oher's petition against the Tuohy family reveals a troubling relationship and raises questions about their true intentions and why they chose conservatorship over adoption. Oher's story highlights the disproportionate impact of the Sports Industrial Complex on young black athletes, who face criticism and threats to their agency and public image.

When ESPN’s Michael A. Fletcher broke the news of ex-football player Michael Oher petitioning in Tennessee court alleging Leigh Anne Tuohy and Sean Tuohy “never adopted him [and] tricked him into signing a document making them his conservators,” the general responses that arose were quite reactionary. With limited knowledge available, many news outlets were dusting off headlines signaling the white savior complex and calling for Sandra Bullock to give up her Oscar for her leading...

Michael Oher has been keeping his lawyers busy, with People reporting on a new legal filing this week claiming that Sean and Leigh Anne Tuohy had not shared any financial information with him in nearly two decades, with Oher alleging he “has been kept in the dark” the whole time.

Oher sued his puportedly adoptive parents — whose story was dramatized in 2009 Oscar winner “The Blind Side” — last week, alleging they never actually adopted him, but instead tricked him into signing a document placing him into a conservatorship. He’s asking that conservatorship, which began when he was 18, be ended.

In his new filing, the retired NFL player is seeking an accounting of his finances in order to determine how much money they’ve made from his name, giving the Tuohys a two-week deadline to comply.

Leigh Anne and Sean Tuohy were seen strolling around their neighbourhood in Florida over the weekend, marking the first time they’ve been seen in public since Michael Oher filed his high-profile lawsuit against his former adoptive parents.

In photos obtained and published by The Daily Mail, the Tuohys were spotted taking a walk in the Santa Rosa Beach area of Florida.

Leigh Anne wore a white t-shirt and a pink tennis skirt along with white sneakers, and a hot pink fanny pack while rocking white earbuds.

Meanwhile, Sean walked alongside her in dark blue shorts and a light blue t-shirt, as they strolled and chatted with an unknown third person.

The outing comes almost a week after Michael Oher — the former NFL star who inspired the Oscar-nominated film “The Blind Side” — filed legal documents in Tennessee court requesting it terminate a conservatorship after alleging the Tuohys lied about adopting...

Over the past week, some have called for Sandra Bullock to return the Academy Award she won for playing Leigh Anne Tuohy in 2009’s The Blind Side – and not because she didn’t deserve it. Rather, the outcry stems from former pro football player Michael Oher claiming that Leigh Anne and Sean Tuohy never actually adopted him and instead used the story for financial gains, a discovery he made nearly 15 years after The Blind Side came out.

So, why are people calling for Sandra Bullock to return her Oscar for The Blind Side, which she won by beating out the likes of Meryl Streep and Helen Mirren? We’re afraid the attempts to find any logic within the situation have come up with absolutely nothing, since obviously (or so we thought…) the reception of The Blind Side and the numerous accolades Sandra Bullock received (also including a Golden Globe and...

Michael Oher‘s high school football coach is weighing in on the lawsuit between Oher and the Tuohy family.

The 37-year-old former NFL pro filed a lawsuit on Monday that alleges that Sean and Leigh Anne Tuohy tricked him into a conservatorship and lied about his adoption status when he was 18.

Auburn coach Hugh Freeze, who coached Oher at Briarcrest Christian School in Memphis, called the legal drama “sad.”

“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 Thursday, per The Athletic’s David Ubben. “I witnessed a family that totally took in a young man and I think without that, there is no story.”

Although Freeze said he’s not aware of the specific details surrounding the lawsuit, he defended the Tuohys, calling their handling of the situation...

The Blind Side star Quinton Aaron defends Sandra Bullock as the real-life Michael Oher's legal dispute with the Tuohy family continues. Aaron criticizes those calling for Bullock to return her Best Actress Oscar, stating that she was just doing her job as an actor. Aaron expresses his hope for a resolution between Oher and the Tuohy family.

The Blind Side star Quinton Aaron, who played Michael Oher, defends costar Sandra Bullock as the controversy involving the film's real-life figures continues. Released in 2009, John Lee Hancock's biographical drama follows Oher as he goes from being a homeless young man to a first-round NFL draft pick after receiving help from the Tuohy family. The real-life Oher recently made a number of allegations in a lawsuit against the Tuohy family, claiming that he was exploited for financial gain.

Now, Aaron speaks out to defend Bullock in a recent interview with EW,...

In light of the recent legal drama between Michael Oher and the Tuohy family, a 2017 episode of Below Deck featuring Sean Tuohy and Leigh Anne Tuohy in which Sean claims he required script approval for the film The Blind Side has resurfaced on TikTok.

In the clip from user @itsabigailadams, patriarch Sean is discussing how the team behind The Blind Side movie gained the rights to use the Tuohy family’s name.

“The writer of the book, he and I went to school together since we were five years old,” Sean says, referencing writing Michael Lewis, who penned the book that the movie was adapted from. “So I get a call — Steven Spielberg, Harvey Weinstein — I had to give them the rights to use our name, and I said, ‘I’ll give you the rights if I get to read the script and approve it or un-approve it.’ So, sure enough,...

It’s a clockwork ritual of awards season. A movie in contention, one based on a true story, will be dinged for presenting a version of reality that isn’t real enough. The critical chatter often starts on Twitter, but it can come from anywhere, ultimately spreading to the mainstream media. We’ve seen this happen with dramas as disparate as “A Beautiful Mind” and “Green Book” and “Mank.” The original source of the attack can often be a rival studio, out to damage an awards competitor (a tactic that was turned into a kind of bloodsport by Harvey Weinstein). Yet it’s a curious thing: By the time the Oscars have come and gone, the criticisms tend to roll right off the movie in question. It’s as if, awards season aside, they never mattered all that much in the first place.

Yet I’m not sure that’s...

"The Blind Side," which netted Sandra Bullock an Oscar in 2010 for her portrayal of Leigh Anne Tuohy, is framed as an inspirational true story about how Leigh Anne and her husband, Sean Tuohy, adopted a young athlete named Michael Oher who was struggling with homelessness and helped him achieve his football dreams.

But Oher is alleging that a key aspect of the film's plot was a lie. On Aug. 14, per The New York Times, Oher, now a retired NFL athlete, petitioned a Tennessee court to terminate his legal relationship with the Tuohy family. In the petition, he claimed that the family never actually adopted him but instead urged him to enter a conservatorship, allowing them to profit off his life story.

Actress Sandra Bullock was spotted in public for the first time since the death of her boyfriend Bryan Randall, who passed away on August 5, 2023, after battling Als. As reported by The Mirror, the 59-year-old drove around Beverly Hills with a dog sitting in her lap, just hours after NFL star Michael Oher filed a lawsuit against Leigh Anne and Sean Tuohy for lying about legally adopting him and using his story for their own personal profit in the hit film ‘The Blind Side’, for which Bullock earned a Best Actress Academy Award for in 2010.

Sandra and Bryan met in 2015 when he was working as a photographer for her child’s birthday party and had been in a long-term relationship ever since. The A-lister said that Bryan was a “saint” and the “love of her life” just two years ago amid his secret health battle.

While grief still hangs heavy on...

An attorney for Sean and Leigh Anne Tuohy has issued a response to Michael Oher’s petition against them, which alleged that the couple deceived Oher into making the pair his conservators at age 18 and that he has not shared in the revenue from the feature “The Blind Side,” which drew from his life story.

The Tuohys’ attorney, Marty Singer, distributed a lengthy statement on Tuesday afternoon, alleging that Oher had “threatened” the couple by saying that “he would plant a negative story about them in the press unless they paid him $15 million” and dismissing the petition as “a ludicrous lawsuit” and a “cynical attempt to drum up attention in the middle of his latest book tour.”

“The Tuohys opened their home to Mr. Oher, offered him structure, support and, most of all, unconditional love. They have consistently treated him like a son and one of their three children. His response was to threaten them,...

Michael Oher was the subject of The Blind Side, a movie which followed a homeless and traumatized Black teenager who becomes an All-American football player and first-round NFL draft pick with the help of his caring adoptive parents played by Sandra Bullock and Tim McGraw. However, Michael Oher made some serious allegations against The Blind Side family yesterday, saying that they deceived him about being adopted and deprived him of earnings from the movie. The family has now responded to the allegations through their attorney, Marty Singer.

Marty Singer said that the “outlandish claims” made by Michael Oher about Sean and Leigh Anne Tuohy are “hurtful and absurd,” and the idea that the family “have ever sought to profit off Mr. Oher is not only offensive, it is transparently ridiculous.” Singer also said that Oher has “attempted to run this play several times before – but it seems that numerous other...

A day after Michael Oher, the former NFL player and subject of the 2009 movie The Blind Side, alleged in a court filing that the family who took him in as a young player had deceived him about being adopted and deprived him of earnings from the Oscar-nominated film, the family has hit back.

A long rebuttal by Sean and Leigh Anne Tuohy’s high-powered entertainment attorney Marty Singer made public Tuesday said Oher’s claims “that the Tuohys have ever sought to profit off Mr. Oher is not only offensive, it is transparently ridiculous.”

Singer also said Oher recently “started to threaten [the family] about what he would do unless they paid him an eight-figure windfall, and, as part of that shakedown effort refused to cash the small profit checks from the Tuohys, they still deposited Mr. Oher’s equal share into a trust account they set up for his son.”

Michael Oher, former NFL player and subject of the hit film The Blind Side, has petitioned a court with allegations that the Tuohy family lied to him about his adoption and used it to trick him into earning them millions.

In a 14-page petition that was filed Monday, Oher accuses Sean and Leigh Anne Tuohy of tricking him into agreeing to a conservatorship by telling him that it was almost the same thing as adoption.

He detailed the situation in his memoir I Beat the Odds. “They explained to me that it means pretty much the exact same thing as ‘adoptive parents,’ but that the laws were just written in a way that took my age into account,” he wrote.

He alleges that the Tuohys failed to explain that Oher would be giving them the legal authority to make business decisions without his consent.

One of these business deals includes the film The Blind Side,...

Michael Oher claims that his adoption as portrayed in The Blind Side was a complete lie, as he was actually placed in a conservatorship that allowed the Tuohy family to profit off of business deals in his name. The Blind Side's narrative promotes the idea that the Tuohys adopted Oher out of love, but Oher alleges that he was deceived into signing the conservatorship agreement and received nothing while the family made millions off the film's royalties. This latest development only adds to the controversy surrounding The Blind Side, which had already been criticized for its white savior-like narrative.

The Blind Side's real life subject Michael Oher claims that his adoption was a complete, exploitative lie. Starring Sandra Bullock, The Blind Side is a 2009 film supposedly based on the true story of the rise of professional football player Oher (played by Quinton Aaron). As The Blind Side tells it,...

Michael Oher is is setting the record straight.

In a petition filed with a Tennessee probate court, Oher alleges that when he went to live with Sean and Leigh Anne Tuohy as a teenager, they never actually adopted him.

According to Oher, three months after he turned 18, in 2004, the Tuohys tricked him into signing papers to have them become his conservator.

As conservators, he alleges, the couple had legal authority to sign business deals in his name.

“The lie of Michael’s adoption is one upon which Co-Conservators Leigh Anne Tuohy and Sean Tuohy have enriched themselves at the expense of their Ward,...

The story of Michael Oher, the retired NFL star who was supposedly adopted by a wealthy white family who lifted him out of poverty, was immortalized in the 2009 blockbuster film “The Blind Side.” But now, Oher, 37, alleges that much of that heartwarming tale is a lie crafted by the family in order to profit off of his name, ESPN reports.

In a 14-page petition filed Monday in Shelby County, Tenn., Oher alleges that Sean and Leigh Anne Tuohy never actually adopted him, instead tricking him into ceding his authority to make business deals by making the couple his conservators at age 18.

Per ESPN, Oher claims that the Tuohys arranged the deal that paid them and their two birth children millions of dollars in royalties from the Oscar-winning movie, which raked in more than $300 million at the box office; Oher received no payment. The ex-nfl player alleges that the conservatorship “provided...

The singer and Little Mix member, who just released her first-ever solo single “Don’t Say Love”, reveals that although she supports whatever her children want to do in the future, she doesn’t want them to face the racism she’s faced.

“And one thing that I’m going to teach them is that they can do anything,” she continued. “I was lucky to be brought up knowing that nothing will ever hold you back. No matter what you face, like, whether it’s racism, whatever it is, you can do it. You can do this. And you’re not going to let...

Leigh-Anne Pinnock is opening up about dropping her first solo single “Don’t Say Love” after being a member of Little Mix for over a decade.

Pinnock chatted to Et Canada’s Carlos Bustamante about being a perfectionist and whether she sees that as more of a gift or a curse.

The musician shared, “A bit of both, to be honest. Like, it’s actually quite annoying sometimes because to me… it might not seem good enough, but then somebody else is like, ‘What are you talking about? This is great.’

“I sometimes feel like I can get in my head. And I think that’s quite natural… I don’t know. It’s such a journey for me. Like I’ve… when I was in the group, I lost so much confidence. And I had this feeling of like, I felt overlooked and undervalued for a very long time.
