Update: Sean Tuohy has responded to Michael Oher's allegations, calling them "insulting" and contesting Oher's claim that the family made money from "The Blind Side. "“We didn’t make any money off the movie,” Sean Tuohy told The Daily Memphian. “Well, [author] Michael Lewis gave us half of his share. Everybody in the family got an equal share, including Michael. It was about $14,000, each."
