In 2017, Sean and Leigh Anne Tuohy went on Bravo's "Below Deck," and a clip of Sean talking with the captain on the show about how "The Blind Side" came about has resurfaced. A reporter for People Magazine made a TikTok pointing out the conversation — if you want to see their episode in its entirety, this is how you can watch every episode of "Below Deck."
Sean said that he'd gone to school with Michael Lewis, who wrote the book that the film was based on and told a version of the story of Oher and the Tuohy family. Sean goes on to talk about the film itself, saying, "So I get a call — Steven Spielberg, Harvey Weinstein — I had to give them the rights to use our name, and I said, 'I'll give you the rights if I get to read the script and approve it or un-approve it.' So, sure enough, seven months later we get an envelope in the mail and it's the script of the movie." There's not any mention of whether Michael Oher got to approve the script nor is there any discussion of what Oher wanted done with his life story.
