Sandra Bullock is upset about the recent allegations made by Michael Oher

The Blind Side's story inspiration, Michael Oher, came forward to say that the Tuohy family's adoption was a sham, Sandra Bullock, who plays Leigh Anne Tuohy, is left "heartbroken" over the claim.

Michael recently filed a lawsuit that turned the movie on its head and claimed that the 'adoption' seen in the movie was actually a fraud. Instead, he said the family tricked him into signing a conservatorship that prevented him from entering into contracts on his own. Even worse, Michael alleges that the family withheld the profits generated by the film from him. A source now revealed Sandra's perspective on that accusations. The actress is not happy.

The insider told the DailyMail: "There was so much hard work put into the film that they all though was the truth and now that has been questioned, it just upsets Sandra to no end that a time in her life was so special, is now shadowed with a completely different perspective."

Sandra is reportedly "heartbroken" from hearting the claims. The source said: "Now people won't watch it and if they do, they will have a completely different reaction to its original intention."

While Michael nor Sandra were aware of this information during filming, some fans have called for her Oscar to be taken away. They're under the belief that it is no longer deserved if Michael's claims are actually true.

Now, Sandra is figuring out her next steps. According to the insider, "she is figuring out how to move forward from it all" Plus, her "emotions are very high right now". Nonetheless, Sandra is looking forward to "better days ahead".

In defense of Sandra, one fan posted on Twitter: "Sandra Bullock has proven time and again how good she is and she just lost her partner to ALS. She didn’t do anything other than play a role with information about the subjects that is now grossly different. Leave her the f**k alone and pretend the Oscar is for 'Gravity'."
