The Blind Side family have come under fire after a clip of them appearing on a TV show resurfaced online.
The 2009 film follows the life of NFL player Michael Oher, including his adoption by the Tuohy family.
The episode has been thrown back into he spotlight after Oher claimed that the Tuohy family had never officially adopted him, and then profited off his life story.
Sean and Leigh Anne Tuohy starred in an episode of Below Deck on Bravo back in 2017. The series takes a look at the lives of people who work on luxury yachts.

Abigail Adams, who goes by the username @itsabigailadams on TikTok, made a video about the ongoing controversy and drew attention to a clip from the TV show.
She says: "So with the whole blindside drama going on right now, am I the only person that can't stop thinking about this episode from Below Deck?
"Because if the movie wasn't a red flag already this was an even bigger one in my opinion.
"Naturally the episode is called 'Blindsided'."

Abigail continues: “The big thing I want to focus on is Sean Tuohy’s response to Captain Lee’s question about how ‘The Blind Side’ actually came about because it’s pretty interesting."
The video then cuts to a clip from the TV show in which we can hear Sean talking about how he negotiated with Steven Spielberg about the rights to the movie.
He can be heard saying: "So I get a call from Steven Spielberg, Harvey Weinstein. I had to give them the rights to use our name.
"And I said, I give you the right to you the name if I get to read the script and then approve it or unapprove it.

"And so sure enough, seven months later, we get an envelope in the mail and it's a script of the movie."
Oher has filed a lawsuit in Shelby County, Tennessee. He alleges that the Tuohys 'tricked' him into making them his conservators instead of his adoptive parents some twenty years ago.
He claims that the conservatorship allowed them to keep legal power over him, including making millions of dollars from The Blind Side which he claims he received nothing from, despite it grossing $300 million at the box office.

In response to the allegations, Sean Tuohy told the Daily Memphian that the family were prepared to do ‘whatever Michael wants’ - including ending their conservatorship.
He added: “We’re devastated. It’s upsetting to think we would make money off any of our children. But we’re going to love Michael at 37 just like we loved him at 16.”
