Whether or not the actual true story of “The Blind Side” is that of an already well-off couple blinded by greed, what Sandra Bullock fans know to be true is that she’s blameless in Michael Oher’s court battle against the Tuohys. As many people on Twitter noted, she was just playing a role and, just like the former Baltimore Ravens offensive tackle, she didn’t know the full story at the time. In his lawsuit against the Tuohys, Oher says he didn’t find out about the couple’s alleged deception until February 2023. “Leave Sandra Bullock alone,” one Bullock supporter tweeted. “She’s an actor who obviously did not know the truth about that family.”
There were also those who expressed sympathy for the star because she’s facing unwarranted criticism during such a traumatic time in her life; Bullock is mourning the recent death of her boyfriend of eight years, Bryan Randall. “She was just acting. It’s the real family y’all should be pissed at. Let the woman grieve about losing her partner,” another tweet read.

In 2015, Oher told ESPN that “The Blind Side” damaged his NFL career by giving people misconceptions about who he is. “They don’t really see the skills and the kind of player I am,” he said. But Bullock did get to see him shine on the field during the Super Bowl in 2013; according to Us Weekly, she even dressed her son Louis in an Oher jersey for the happy occasion.
