“The Blind Side” has taken a dark turn, revealing the industry’s attitudes towards the Tuohy family. Former NFL quarterback Peyton Manning once parodied the controversial film at the 2010 ESPY Awards, shedding light on the treatment of Michael Oher, who was taken in by the Tuohys. In the spoof, Manning stood in for the character played by Quinton Aaron, with the text narration questioning the motives of the Tuohy family. The sketch, titled “The Dark Side,” resurfaced after Oher filed a lawsuit against the family, accusing them of exploiting his talent and narrative. The spoof showcases a twisted interpretation of the Tuohys’ behavior towards Oher, mirroring his own confessions about his time with them. Scenes depict Sandra Bullock’s character, Leigh Anne Tuohy, exerting control over Manning’s character, with Manning pleading for help to escape. The lawsuit claims that the Tuohys never officially adopted Oher and instead tricked him into signing away the rights to his name for business deals after he turned 18. The family denies these allegations. Oher is seeking to end the Tuohys’ conservatorship, prevent them from using his name and likeness, and receive a fair share of the profits they earned from the movie. A resurfaced clip from a reality TV show featuring the Tuohys bragging about their involvement in the movie further fueled criticism.
