Former Ole Miss star Michael Oher seeks to end conservatorship with Tuohy family
SUMMARY: Former football player Michael Oher has accused Sean and Leigh Anne Touhy of exploiting him and profiting off his story without his permission. Oher’s legal team has filed a petition to terminate the Touhys’ conservatorship over him, which gave them the authority to negotiate contracts on his behalf. Oher claims that the Touhys never legally adopted him and instead had him sign into a conservatorship when he turned 18. He alleges that the Touhy family earned nearly $225,000 and a percentage of the profits from the hit movie “The Blind Side,” while he received no monetary gains. Oher is seeking to prohibit the Touhys from profiting off his name and likeness and to receive his fair share of the movie’s profits.

SUMMARY: Mississippi police are warning about a holiday scam called “brushing,” which is becoming more prevalent as package deliveries rise in December. This scam involves recipients receiving unexpected packages accompanied by a QR code that claims to reveal the sender’s identity. Scanning this QR code can compromise personal information, leading to potential theft. Victims may receive items with little to no information about the sender, including claims related to Amazon. Officials advise against scanning any unfamiliar QR codes and recommend reporting such packages. Awareness is key to protecting personal data this holiday season, according to police.

SUMMARY: As the government shutdown deadline approached, the Senate passed a bipartisan bill early Saturday to temporarily fund federal operations and disaster aid, excluding President-elect Donald Trump’s debt ceiling demands. The House overwhelmingly approved the bill, which funds the government through March 14 and includes disaster assistance. Trump had insisted on a debt ceiling increase, threatening a shutdown, but GOP leadership opted for a compromise with Democrats. The outcome raises questions about House Speaker Mike Johnson’s future amidst GOP dissent. President Joe Biden is expected to sign the bill, averting a shutdown that could affect millions, especially during the holiday season.
