The True Story Behind The “Blind Side”

Leigh Anne Didn’t Invite Michael To Stay At Their Home So Quickly

When the Tuohys saw Michael walking on the side of the road in the film, it was pouring rain and the young man was wandering around at night in shorts and a t-shirt. Leigh Anne was so disturbed by his circumstances that she immediately invited him home so he could spend the night.

In actuality, the Tuohys did meet Michael on the road during Thanksgiving break. However, it was morning and Leigh Anne did not persuade him to come to their house. Leigh Anne did drive to Briarcrest later that day and took the young man shopping for some clothing.
