Captain Lee Rosbach once said that Leigh Anne and Sean Tuohy, who rose to fame being portrayed in the book and film The Blind Side, were his favorite Below Deck charter guests of all time.
The Tuohys’ story of how they adopted an underprivileged child who eventually played in the NFL was heartwarming. But now Michael Oher, who the Tuohys claimed to have adopted, said the story was a lie. Oher alleges that the couple lied about their intentions to adopt him, and instead put him in a conservatorship. This essentially removed his legal rights. Oher said he never received any royalties or money from the film.
He is now suing the Tuohys. When asked for his thoughts on the latest news about the couple, Rosbach only said, “They were one of my favorite charters ever.” So why did Rosbach say Leigh Anne and Sean Tuohy were one of his favorites?...

Captain Lee Rosbach’s Below Deck “travel agency” was alive and well beginning with season 2. Rosbach always told the crew to not embarrass the boat or themselves on and off charter because he had a pocketful of plane tickets – which meant any crew members who broke the rules or couldn’t cut it on the job could be fired.
Throughout the 10 seasons of the show, Rosbach personally fired eight crew members. Some crew members, like deckhand Andrew Sturby, were crew who simply weren’t ready for the job. Other crew members, like Dane Jackson, were fired for inappropriate behavior.
Rosbach didn’t fire a crew member on Below Deck Season 1. But he started with Sturby in season 2. Also, two crew members were fired during Below Deck Season 10, but Captain Sandy Yawn fired them. Yawn took over while Rosbach was on land dealing with a medical issue.
