- Author wrote book about Michael Oher and Tuohy family
- Oher says family deceived him over events depicted in book
Michael Lewis, the author of The Blind Side, has defended the family at the heart of the book over allegations they deceived former NFL player Michael Oher.
Oher filed a petition in a Tennessee court earlier this week saying Sean and Leigh Anne Tuohy did not adopt him – a central plank of the bestselling book – but instead deceived him into making them his conservators just after his 18th birthday.
