Career[edit]
Tuohy and his wife owned 115 fast food franchises, including those of Taco Bell, Kentucky Fried Chicken, Pizza Hut and Long John Silver's, but as of 2019, they own 11 Taco Bells, having sold the majority in six separate transactions.[15]
Tuohy has also been a broadcaster for the Memphis Grizzlies of the NBA since 2001.[12] He has seven years of experience as an analyst for radio broadcasts at Ole Miss, as well as national broadcasts for Westwood One and CBS Radio.
Tuohy and his wife are also the co-authors of the book, In a Heartbeat: Sharing the Power of Cheerful Giving, which was released in 2010.[16]
Personal life[edit]
Tuohy married his wife, Leigh Anne, in 1982 and the couple have two children together. They have one son, Sean Jr., who played guard for the Loyola Greyhounds. They reportedly adopted former NFL player Michael Oher when he was 17.[17] They have one daughter, Collins, who was a state champion as a pole vaulter and cheerleader at the University of Mississippi.[18] Tuohy and his wife live in Memphis, Tennessee.
In August 2023, Oher filed a lawsuit alleging that Tuohy and his wife did not adopt him and tricked him to signing a conservatorship.[19] Tuohy's confirmed it was a conservatorship. He stated they did not trick Oher. Instead, it was done to ease the NCAA's concerns over the Tuohys being boosters at the University of Mississippi and Oher wanting to go there. He called the claims "insulting" but also said despite the allegations made by him, they still love Oher.[20]
