Tuohy alleges that Meghan and Oher crossed paths in 2016 when Meghan was still acting in the TV show 'Suits,' while Oher was playing for the Carolina Panthers. Tuohy's narrative suggests that Meghan seduced Oher at a vulnerable point in his life, following a career-ending concussion. Their alleged secret relationship reportedly spanned several months. Tuohy alleges that she became aware of the affair when she discovered incriminating text messages and photos on Oher's phone. Upon confronting Meghan, Tuohy claims that Meghan vehemently denied everything and even threatened legal action for defamation.
Tuohy explains that she chose to keep silent about the affair until now, primarily out of concern for Oher, who has been grappling with mental health issues and legal troubles. However, Tuohy decided to go public with her account after witnessing Meghan's explosive interview with Oprah Winfrey, in which Meghan accused the royal family of racism, neglect, and cruelty. Tuohy expressed her disgust at what she sees as Meghan's lies and hypocrisy and felt compelled to expose her as a fraud and home-wrecker.
Additionally, Tuohy asserts that she possesses evidence supporting her claims, including phone records, hotel receipts, and even DNA tests, which she alleges prove that Meghan's son Archie is, in fact, Oher's biological child. Tuohy claims to have contacted Prince Harry and offered to share this proof with him, although she asserts that he has not responded to her messages.
Tuohy clarifies that her motivation is not financial gain or fame; instead, she seeks an apology from Meghan to Oher and the royal family. She also calls for Meghan to relinquish her royal titles and privileges and to leave Harry and Archie alone. As of now, Meghan Markle has not officially commented on Tuohy's allegations. Sources close to Meghan, however, have dismissed these claims as absurd and malicious, asserting that Meghan never met Michael Oher and has no connection to Tuohy or the movie 'The Blind Side.' These sources believe that Tuohy's actions are driven by jealousy and resentment.
Adding to the complexity of the situation, the Tuohy family has raised further allegations, claiming that Michael Oher repeatedly demanded $15 million from 'The Blind Side' royalties. They have presented alleged texts and emails from Oher, in which he purportedly pressured them to provide him with the aforementioned sum. These details have emerged within the ongoing legal dispute between the Tuohy family and Oher, who claims he was not fairly compensated for his role in the 2009 film. The Tuohy family is currently petitioning a Tennessee judge to deny Oher's request for a temporary injunction that would prevent them from using his name and likeness.
