“Blind Side” Actor Stands Up For Sandra Bullock After Trolls Demand She Loses Her Oscar
Recently, things have been difficult for Sandra Bullock.
A legal dispute with the Tuohy family, the real-life inspiration for the 2009 film The Blind Side, has arisen after the tragic death of her long-term boyfriend.
Bullock’s portrayal of Leigh Anne Tuohy earned her an Academy Award in 2010.
The Tuohy family of Tennessee adopted NFL player Michael Oher, whose tale is depicted in the film The Blind Side. However, the story has been scrutinized as of late.
According to Oher, the Tuohys only exploited a conservatorship to gain financial benefits and never adopted him legally.
According to the Tuohys, Michael Oher sought to extort $15 million from them, which is why they’ve responded to his charges by saying he lied.
Now that the debate over ‘The Blind Side’ has resumed, some people are calling for Sandra Bullock to return her Academy Award.
Quinton Aaron, who played Oher in the movie, disagrees vehemently with these statements.
Quinton Aaron, in a recent appearance with Fox News, supported Sandra Bullock.
“There’s nothing that says she had anything to do with this. She was an actress who got hired to do a job, and she did it so well that she was rewarded for it. Why would you take that reward just because of what’s going on today, 14 years later?”
While discussing Bullock’s recent loss, Aaron said that she is already dealing with personal issues and wished for people to show her support and sympathy.
Bryan Randall, Sandra Bullock’s long-term companion, passed away on August 5 at the age of 57 due to ALS, and she is in grief.
Quinton Aaron, who has felt the sting of bereavement firsthand, showed compassion in his interview.
He spoke up in defense of Bullock, stating, “And the last thing she needs is for the Internet trolls to be coming at her talking about something, ‘We should take her Oscar.’”
When Aaron saw internet trolls attacking Bullock, he called on them to stop caring about her and concentrate on themselves instead.
Aaron, who joked that he was a “teddy bear,” warned that he could turn into a “grizzly bear” when his loved ones were in danger.
Quinton Aaron recalled happy recollections of working with Sandra Bullock: “You know, she was so welcoming… She was professional, but funny. Like, she’s hilarious.”

He spoke highly of the guidance she gave him and the impact she had on his life.
Sandra Bullock is not involved in the issue surrounding the Tuohy family and should be given privacy and compassion in her time of loss.
