Sandra Bullock faced criticisms following unsettling allegations from former NFL star Michael Oher, the inspiration behind her 2009 film The Blind Side. The movie was adapted from the 2006 book, The Blind Side: Evolution of a Game, by Michael Lewis, which detailed Oher's journey as one of the thirteen children of a drug-addict mother and his path to football success after being welcomed into the seemingly benevolent Tuohy family. However, the 37-year-old has initiated a lawsuit claiming that, contrary to what was portrayed in the movie, his guardians, Sean and Leigh Anne Tuohy, never formally adopted him, yet still profited from his achievements.

They asserted that the 59-year-old simply accepted a job and shouldn't be held accountable for anything beyond that. "People are really blaming Sandra Bullock????" a fan asked. "If Michael other didn’t know until recently, how tf was she supposed to know???'" "Someone said if Michael Oher didn’t know until 2023, how was Sandra Bullock supposed to know," a second fan commented. "She just lost her partner, and her children just lost their father, leave them alone."

She was the actress, not a private investigator," someone else wrote in support of the actress. "How was she supposed to know this is what was going on at that time?" "Now what y’all NOT gon do is blame Sandra Bullock for that Blind Side mess. If that lady fooled everybody, even journalists and the 'adoptee,' how was Sandy supposed to know? Shut UP," another fan slammed the critics. "Kind of weird of some of you to demand Sandra Bullock answer for her role in the blind side as if she knew anything about it when Michael himself said he only started looking into things in 2016, almost a decade after the blind side came out," another supporter stated.
