Actor Quinton Aaron, best known for portraying Michael Oher in the 2009 film “The Blind Side,” was hospitalized after a fall at his Atlanta home when his legs gave out on a staircase.
Health update
In a family statement the actor was described as “alert, aware and recovering” after the spinal stroke. The family said they would keep the public posted on his health.
Family dispute over spouse
Jared Aaron told TMZ that Margarita Aaron is not legally married to his brother and is allegedly engaged to another man. He said he “genuinely fears for his brother’s life” and worries she is misrepresenting herself to hospital staff when making medical decisions.
Margarita said she and Quinton are “spiritually married” and asked, “If he’s saying I’m such a bad person, why does he live with me and Quinton?” She added that she is “at peace” with the situation.
Other family members issued a statement questioning the legitimacy of Quinton and Margarita’s marriage and her legitimacy as a registered nurse, noting, “We have found some alarming details. We as a family believe Margarita isn’t who she claimed to be to us. This has caused us to want to investigate her further.”
US Weekly reported that the hospital has barred Margarita from Quinton’s room. Hospital staff told her that “they were only giving everyone five minutes once a day to be with him.”
Why it matters
The health of a well‑known actor draws public attention, and the question of who can legally create medical decisions may influence the care Quinton receives. The family’s challenge to Margarita’s credentials as a registered nurse raises broader concerns about verification of medical personnel in private settings.
Possible next steps
The Aaron family could seek a formal investigation into Margarita’s claims, which may result in a court‑ordered clarification of her legal relationship to Quinton. Hospital administrators may continue to enforce restricted visitation, and if disagreements persist, the family might consider appointing a legal guardian to oversee medical decisions.
