Interestingly, amidst the revelation, a curious phenomenon has emerged – public anger is finding an unexpected target: Sandra Bullock.
Across various social media platforms, fervent individuals are venting their frustration and directing their ire at Sandra Bullock, with demands for her to surrender the Oscar she garnered for her portrayal of Leigh Anne Tuohy.
From OK! Magazine:
"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!" one Twitter user penned, while a second added, "Sandra Bullock should give her Oscar back. She knows she doesn't deserve that s---."
Another concerned user thought the trophy should now go to someone else who was nominated for Best Actress the same year. "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 the calls to yank her award, others noted how ridiculous the request sounded. "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," one person said, while another pointed out, "You know Sandra Bullock deserved her Oscar because she acted so well, she made the Tuohy family likeable."
Another noted how nasty the criticism towards Bullock was — especially after her longtime boyfriend Bryan Randall's recent passing earlier this month. "Sandra Bullock has proven time and again how good she is, and she just lost her partner to ALS," one fan mentioned.
Let's approach this situation with fairness, folks, and keep Sandra Bullock out of the equation.
Her Oscar was a recognition of her acting prowess, not her fact-checking role.
It's quite bewildering that the focus of discontent centers around the Oscar itself, rather than directing it towards the Tuohy family, who might potentially have misrepresented facts.
