Sandra Bullock is having a tough time wrapping her head around the allegations surrounding the IRL family that inspired The Blind Side.
As Perezcious readers know, Sandy won an Oscar for Best Actress for her role as Leigh Anne Tuohy in the 2009 sports biopic. The film depicted an inspirational story of a poor Black teenager who was taken in by a wealthy white family who helped him reach his full potential on and off the football field.
Unfortunately, the feel-good story isn’t as feel-good in real life. Michael Oher filed a lawsuit this week claiming Leigh Anne and her husband Sean Tuohy didn’t actually adopt him, but instead tricked him into a conservatorship, giving them control over his business deals.

Unfortunately, because of all this drama, The Proposal alum has found herself in the middle of her own — completely uncalled for — controversy! Some fans have taken to social media to call for Sandra’s Oscar to be revoked, which is ridiculous considering she was just doing her job.
Still, it’s made us wonder how she’s feeling through this mess, and now we know! On Wednesday, a source close to the 59-year-old told DailyMail.com that she is “heartbroken” over the lawsuit, sharing:
The insider elaborated:
If it’s difficult for fans of the film to look back and realize the narrative was a lie, then just imagine how it must feel after portraying those characters for so long!
