On Tuesday, former NFL star Michael Oher attended a book signing in Baltimore, Maryland, just one week after filing a lawsuit to end his conservatorship. Oher, who is best known for his story featured in the movie The Blind Side, has been under conservatorship since 2017.
The book signing was for Oher’s new book, “I Beat the Odds: From Homelessness to the Blind Side and Beyond.” The book details Oher’s journey from homelessness to becoming an NFL star. Oher was joined by his wife, Leigh Anne Tuohy, at the book signing.
The lawsuit that Oher filed last week seeks to end his conservatorship, which was established in 2017 after Oher suffered a major brain injury. The lawsuit claims that the conservatorship has been used to take advantage of Oher financially and has prevented him from making decisions about his own life.
Oher’s attorney, David Rich, said that the conservatorship has been a “nightmare” for Oher and that it has prevented him from making decisions about his own life. Rich also said that Oher is capable of making decisions for himself and that the conservatorship has been a hindrance to his progress.
Oher’s story has inspired millions of people around the world and his book signing in Baltimore was no exception. Fans lined up for hours to get a chance to meet Oher and get their books signed. Oher was all smiles as he greeted fans and signed books.
It is clear that Michael Oher is determined to take control of his own life and end his conservatorship. He is an inspiration to many and we wish him all the best in his fight for freedom.
