Directed by Ry Russo-Young (Nuclear Family) and produced by Unwell Productions in collaboration with Lionsgate and Hulu, the series goes beyond her media success to address moments she previously withheld from the public.
Allegations against former coach Nancy Feldman
The series also includes serious allegations from Cooper's past. While playing Division I soccer at Boston University on a full scholarship, Cooper alleges her coach, Nancy Feldman, engaged in inappropriate conduct starting in her sophomore year.
She claims Feldman's attention turned from coaching to her appearance and personal life, including repeated comments about her legs and hair, unwanted physical contact, and invasive questions about her sex life. One remark allegedly included, 'You want to play? Tell me about your sex life.'
Cooper feared speaking up could cost her future. Although her family submitted formal complaints, the university did not take action. Feldman remained coach until her 2022 retirement.

Steve Jobs was a creative genius, but Pixar's CCO Pete Docter says there's one habit of the legend you shouldn't copy
Steve Jobs' genius, as revealed by Pixar CCO Pete Docter, wasn't in filmmaking but in his rare skill to cut through complex conversations and reach the core issue in minutes. (Images: X/@DovterPete, Agencies) When Steve Jobs bought Pixar from Lucasfilm in 1986 for $10 million, few could have predicted it would grow into one of the world's most beloved animation studios. But according to Pete Docter, the company's Chief Creative Officer and one of its earliest employees, Jobs' genius lay not in creative interference—but in restraint. 'Steve was pretty amazing at saying, 'This is not my business,'' Docter said during the Fast Company Most Innovative Companies Summit. Even though Jobs was Pixar's executive producer and bankroller, he never tried to direct a film or impose his will on the storytellers. He knew where his strengths ended—and trusted the animators, writers, and directors to do what they did best. Jobs' leadership wasn't about knowing everything—it was about knowing how to listen. Docter, who joined Pixar as its third animator and is now a three-time Oscar-winning director, recalled how Jobs could walk into any meeting, even one far outside his domain, and within five minutes distill the entire conversation to its essence. 'He could sit for about five minutes and analyze what the conversation was really about,' Docter said. 'That's not something anyone's born with. It came from years of practice.' It's a skill Docter himself has tried to nurture over decades—understanding that the ability to cut through noise and see the real issue is as powerful as any technical expertise. Jobs wasn't just a tech savant; he was an emotional strategist who knew how to read a room and steer a ship—even if it wasn't his to command. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Fast Company (@fastcompany) But even icons have imperfections. Jobs, Docter candidly admitted, had one habit he's made a point never to emulate: the infamous anytime, anywhere phone calls. 'He would call — especially the producers — at any time, day or night, 3 in the morning, you're on vacation, doesn't matter,' said Docter. While Jobs' relentless pursuit of excellence and passion for his work are legendary, his disregard for personal boundaries wasn't always appreciated. 'He wants to talk to you about it, you're on,' Docter said, adding that while he tries to avoid this practice, he still occasionally sends late-night emails—much to his wife's dismay. From Toy Story to Up to Inside Out , Pixar became a storytelling powerhouse under Docter and others, while Jobs remained mostly in the background. Despite being the largest shareholder after Disney acquired Pixar for $7.4 billion in 2006, Jobs rarely disrupted the creative process. He believed in explaining things until people understood them—not forcing outcomes. Former Disney CEO Bob Iger said in an interview with Vanity Fair that he was warned Jobs might be a tyrant, only to find him refreshingly collaborative. 'Who wouldn't want Steve Jobs to have influence over how a company is run?' Iger said. In a world that often glorifies overwork and round-the-clock dedication, Docter's reflections serve as a nuanced reminder: intensity must be balanced with empathy. Jobs' genius lay in vision, clarity, and emotional insight—but his tendency to blur the lines between urgency and intrusion is a cautionary tale for leaders today. Docter, who once mirrored his own social awkwardness in characters like Carl from Up , now leads Pixar with a softer edge—channeling Jobs' brilliance without inheriting his flaws. 'I guess that's what my wife's trying to get me to stop doing,' he said, laughing, about his midnight emails.

Blake Lively Lands Big Win Against Justin Baldoni as ‘Sham' 400 Million USD Counter Lawsuit Gets Tossed Out
Justin Baldoni has lost a major footing in his claims against It Ends With Us co-star Blake Lively, amid their ongoing feud about the happenings on the film set. On June 9 local time, a judge dismissed the director's 400 million USD defamation case against the actress. The original counter lawsuit stood against the leading lady of the film and her famous husband, Ryan Reynolds, who can now breathe a sigh of relief. According to Variety, it was a judge named Lewis J. Liman who stopped the defamation lawsuit from taking root by dismissing it, earning Blake Lively a long-awaited win. Justin Baldoni 's other claims included extortion from him, but those have all gone down the drain. It's not all negative, however, as he has been allowed to refile a couple of other claims and make changes to some of his allegations. Blake Lively's side reacts to dismissal of defamation case filed by Justin Baldoni The lawyers for the actress were in a celebratory mood, counting it as a 'total victory' in their fight against the 41-year-old star. They say that it's a release from the 'abusive litigation', and look forward to receiving attorneys' fees, treble damages and punitive damages, the next time around. 'As we have said from day one, this '$400 million' lawsuit was a sham, and the Court saw right through it', they added. What does the judge's new ruling mean? The dismissal not only benefits Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds, but also Leslie Sloane and The New York Times, who were previously implicated in the filing of the lawsuit. Initially, the Jane the Virgin actor meant to shove away Blake Lively, her husband and her publicist, by claiming that the allegations of s*xual harassment and trying to ruin her career with a smear campaign were all false. It has now been ruled that Blake Lively's accusations were legally protected.

Orlando Bloom on returning to Pirates of the Caribbean as Will Turner: 'It'd be great to get the band back together'
Orlando Bloom has shared hope for a return to the 'Pirates of the Caribbean' franchise, sparking excitement among long-time fans of the series. The actor, best known for his role as Will Turner, made the comments during a recent appearance on ITV's This Morning while promoting his new project 'Deep Cover'. When asked about reprising his role, Orlando Bloom said he didn't have any official news but revealed there is 'definitely availability.' He added, 'I think they're trying to work out what it would all look like. I personally think it'd be great to get the band back together.' His remarks have been taken as a nod to co-stars Keira Knightley and Johnny Depp, who played Elizabeth Swann and Captain Jack Sparrow in the original films. While Knightley has been largely silent on any potential return, Depp's involvement remains uncertain following his legal battles and past comments about Disney. Depp had previously said he wouldn't return to the franchise 'for $300 million and a million alpacas,' raising doubts about whether Disney would—or could—bring the full cast back together. Despite the uncertainty, Bloom's comments have revived fan hopes for another adventure with the original crew. With Disney reportedly exploring different directions for the franchise, it remains to be seen whether a reunion could actually happen. For now, Bloom's cautious optimism is the closest sign yet that another voyage with Will Turner might be on the horizon. 'Pirates of the Caribbean' is a popular American film series blending fantasy, supernatural elements, and high-seas adventure. Produced by Jerry Bruckheimer, the franchise was inspired by the classic Walt Disney theme park ride of the same name. The franchise began in 2003 and quickly became a cornerstone of Disney's blockbuster lineup. The first three films were directed by Gore Verbinski, with later entries helmed by Rob Marshall, Joachim Rønning, and Espen Sandberg. Writers Ted Elliott and Terry Rossio shaped much of the series, particularly the early instalments, with contributions from others like Stuart Beattie and Jeff Nathanson. At the heart of the saga is Captain Jack Sparrow, played by Johnny Depp, whose eccentric charm and unpredictable schemes drive much of the story. Alongside him are recurring characters such as Hector Barbossa (Geoffrey Rush), Jack's rival and uneasy ally, and Joshamee Gibbs (Kevin McNally), his loyal first mate.
