- Aaron disagrees with the idea that Bullock should give up her Oscar, stating that it doesn’t make sense.
Quinton Aaron, known for his role in “The Blind Side,” defends Sandra Bullock against criticisms demanding her to return her Oscar. This comes after Michael Oher, the real-life inspiration for the film, filed legal documents claiming that the Tuohy family never actually adopted him.
In 2010, Bullock won an Academy Award for her portrayal of Leigh Anne Tuohy in “The Blind Side,” a film that tells Oher’s journey from the foster care system to becoming an NFL star. However, Oher now alleges that the adoption depicted in the film was a lie.
According to the court filing viewed by Insider, Oher claims that the Tuohys tricked him into signing conservatorship papers that he believed were adoption papers when he turned 18. He further alleges that the Tuohys used this arrangement to exploit him for their financial gain. Oher also states that he had no disabilities that would require such legal arrangements. Oher claims that he never profited from the film, while the Tuohys negotiated a lucrative deal for themselves.
Bullock has faced online hate and calls to give up her Oscar as a result of this controversy. However, Quinton Aaron, who played Oher in the film, defends Bullock, emphasizing that the situation has nothing to do with her and that her performance should not be tarnished.

Despite the controversy, Quinton Aaron believes that “The Blind Side” has positively impacted people’s lives, including his own. He remains neutral in the legal matter, expressing his love and support for both Michael Oher and the Tuohy family. Aaron suggests that the internet should enjoy the spectacle without involving the actors.
“The Blind Side” portrays Oher’s difficult upbringing in the foster care system and his determination to overcome his situation through athletics. The Tuohy family adopts him, nurturing his talents and helping him succeed in the NFL. Oher has expressed his dissatisfaction with the film’s portrayal of him as a “dumb” kid, stating that it does not accurately represent his story.
