The actress starred in a biopic about ex-US National Football League star Michael Oher as the athlete’s eponymous mother Lee Ann Tui.
American actress Sandra Bullock is being asked to strip the Academy Award she won for her lead role in the 2009 biopic The Blind Side. This was reported by TMZ.
In particular, former US National Football League (NFL) player Michael Oher, for whom the film was made, only stated in 2023 that some events in the film were not true. For example, the fact that Tui’s family adopted him, adding that the family made money from the project, but he received nothing.
The athlete’s lawsuit states that in 2004, when he turned 18, Tui was forced to sign a custody agreement that gave them complete control over Michael’s financial affairs.
Tui’s family alleged that Michael Oher tried to extort $15 million from them before going to court.
After this, netizens attacked Bullock with anger, believing that she did not deserve to receive the Oscar for the best actress in the movie The Blind Side. At the same time, some are wondering what the star has to do with the hype surrounding Michael Oher’s statement.
The actor who played Oher on the screen – Quinton Aaron – stood up for Bullock and considered the accusations against him unfair.
It was previously reported that the professional photographer Brian Randall, with whom the 59-year-old American actress Sandra Bullock had a relationship since 2015, has died.
