Sandra Bullock Under Fire as Social Media Demands She Hand Over Her ‘Blind Side’ Oscar After Michael Oher Scandal: ‘She Doesn’t Deserve That’
|Sandra Bullock finds herself facing unfair scrutiny following a bombshell lawsuit filed by Michael Oher against the Tuohy family, whose story served as the basis for the 2009 film “The Blind Side.”
Many on social media have argued that the Hollywood actress, who portrayed matriarch Leigh Anne Tuohy, should surrender the Oscar she won for her role.
Some Twitter users expressed their opinions on this matter, with one saying, “So Sandra Bullock should have to give back her Oscar right, and man do we need to start checking these good feeling stories.
The parents blocked $300 in earnings … from him … and gave the money to their real children? WOOOOOOOW!” Another person added, “Sandra Bullock should give her Oscar back. She knows she doesn’t deserve that.”
There was also a suggestion that the Oscar should be awarded to another Best Actress nominee from the same year if Michael Oher’s allegations were found to be true:
“If the Michael Oher allegations are true, then we have to go AND TAKE THE OSCAR back from Sandra Bullock and give it to Gabourey Sidibe for Precious.”
Despite these calls to revoke her award, some people found the requests to be absurd. One individual commented, “Not y’all calling for Sandra Bullock’s Oscar to be revoked.
It ain’t her fault the real-life people were exploitative scammers and thieves.” Another person pointed out, “You know Sandra Bullock deserved her Oscar because she acted so well, she made the Tuohy family likeable.”
Criticism against Bullock also drew attention, especially given her recent personal loss following the passing of her longtime boyfriend Bryan Randall earlier in the month.
“Sandra Bullock has proven time and again how good she is, and she just lost her partner to ALS,” one fan noted.
