00:00 Controversy surrounding the hit movie "The Blind Side."
00:02 Michael Orr, blindsided, he says,
00:04 by his family at the center of the Hollywood blockbuster.
00:08 Alleging they were in the millions
00:09 from pushing a false narrative that they adopted him.
00:12 The movie depicted a totally different person.
00:14 Michael really didn't like the movie from the very beginning.
00:20 They followed him everywhere while he was in the NFL.
00:22 There's no escaping it.
00:24 He felt like someone was making money from this movie
00:26 and it wasn't him.
00:27 They said that they never intended to adopt Michael.
00:30 I think that, you know, as they kind of say in the South,
00:33 he got some explaining to do.
00:34 It seemed to be all love, and a lot was offered.
00:41 He was portrayed as unable,
00:45 without the help of the Toohey family,
00:47 to have made his way in the world.
00:49 The movie's great.
00:50 It allows us to go around and talk about
00:51 the Michael Orrs of the world that need a forever family.
00:54 I know what a conservatory ship is now
00:56 thanks to Britney Spears.
00:58 To hear that, you know, something like that had gone on,
01:00 it strikes a nerve.
01:01 They blast out of him from the start.
