I got the BD for like $5 years ago, but never watched it. I guess I shouldn't bother now that it was all some made up lie.

The guy had a nice NFL career, has written a couple of books and speaks on a motivational speaking tour. I doubt money is his issue.
He chafed at the dumb, near mentally disabled, black kid that was adopted by the white angels ever since he was portrayed that way in the movie. I think this conservatorship vs actually being adopted thing was the final nail for him thus the lawsuit.

I haven't read the articles about this yet but do they mention how whatever agency was dealing with his adoption allowed it to happen?

Gotcha. I wasn't aware he was 18 at the time. I don't think I ever saw the movie but I was aware of the story.

It's also Leigh Anne Tuohy's story, and Sean Tuohy' story. It's the little son's story, the tutor's story, the football coach's story. They are all real people who are characters in the movie, which does not claim to be a true story, but just based on one.

Because people in general are so good at financial planning?
Why does anyone sue? For funzies?
Exactly...

They are lucky it came out in 2009 and was a theatrical release that made a lot of money.
If it came out today it would end up on Disney + and less revenue for the Tuohy family.

I can't imagine working my way to the very top tier of such a physically intensive sport and then a movie studio is like "hey, we got this big fat guy to play you."
