Representatives forMichael Oherreiterated that they “stand with” the former NFL player andBlind Sidesubject after lawyers for the Tuohy family held a press conference Wednesday denying they withheld money from Oher.

Lawyers for the Tuohys said Wednesday that the family intends to release Oher from the conservatorship.

“If that’s what he wants to do is terminate it, we’re glad to do so,” said attorney Randall Fishman. “As a matter of fact, it is our intent to offer to enter into a consent order as it relates to the conservatorship, and then if they have other issues, we’ll deal with them.”

When asked why Leigh Anne and Sean created a conservatorship for Oher rather than adopting him, as they have previously claimed, Fishman said, “It didn’t make any difference to the Tuohys,” and that they believed the conservatorship would help with NCAA regulations.

Fishman and attorney Steven Farese also addressed theprofits that each member of the family reportedly made from the film.

Oher alleged in his petition that the Tuohys —including their two birth children, Collins Tuohy and Sean Tuohy Jr. — were paid $225,000 for the filmplus 2.5% of the film’s proceeds and did not include him.
