I dont know what the truth is. Only Oher and this family know. That being said 2 things make me believe Oher is closer to right then the family. 1 they tricked him into a conservatorship instead of adopting him like they said they were. 2 they made sure their whole family including their biological kids got paid off of anything to do with Ohers story. Why would a 5 way split make any sense at all? Your pushing this narrative of helping a poor person elevate their life and the way you show that is selling his life story and giving him 1/5th of what that story is worth. The white family who is already well off is getting 4/5ths of the money to help out poor people.
The Blind Side is the typical white savior trope that makes it marketable, not Oher. There’s hundred of poor kids making it to the NFL - nothing special about that,
Sandra Bullock is the star, not Quinton Aaron. That should tell you exactly where the marketing priority is and what sells. So each family making a share makes absolute sense. Plus, the father sold his businesses for over $200 MILLION - they don’t need Oher to make money.
