Podcast star Alex Cooper accuses her Boston University soccer coach of sexual harassment in new doc
Popular podcaster Alex Cooper made startling allegations in the upcoming Hulu documentary, 'Call Her Alex,' that she was sexually harassed by her soccer coach at Boston University. The revelation in the new Hulu doc, set to premiere on the streaming platform on June 10, comes 10 years after Cooper said she went through the ordeal, which she claimed was three years of escalating sexual harassment at the hands of former head coach Nancy Feldman until she left the team in her senior year. 'I felt a lot of anger—anger at my coach, anger at my school, and anger at the system that allowed this to happen,' the 'Call Her Daddy' podcast host Cooper said in the documentary, according to Vanity Fair. 'I don't think anyone could've prepared me for the lasting effects that came from this experience. She turned something that I loved so much into something extremely painful.' Advertisement Ry Russo-Young (L) and Alex Cooper attend the 'Call Her Alex' Premiere – 2025 Tribeca Festival at BMCC Theater on June 08, 2025 in New York City. Getty Images for Tribeca Festival Feldman coached BU's women's soccer team for 22 years before she retired in 2022, but Cooper said that the former coach started to 'fixate on me way more than any other teammate of mine' during her sophomore season. Cooper was a member of the Terriers women's soccer program from 2013-15. Advertisement It was during that time Cooper alleges Feldman took an uncomfortable interest in her and would make comments about her body and her personal life, including once asking Cooper if she had sex the previous night. The podcaster and media mogul also said Feldman would try to get her alone, put a hand on her thigh and stare at her. In the documentary, Cooper said that any time she would try to 'resist' Feldman, the coach would tell her 'there would be consequences.' 'It was this psychotic game of, 'You wanna play? Tell me about your sex life. I have to drive you to your night class, get in the car with me alone,'' Cooper said in the doc. 'I started trying to spend as little time as possible with her. Taking different routes to practice where I knew I wouldn't run into her, during meetings, I would try to sit as far away from her as possible. Literally anything to not be alone with this woman.' Advertisement And when Cooper and her family attempted to approach Boston University officials about their claims, she said they were brushed off and officials asked her, 'What do you want?'

Getty Images for Tribeca Festival Cooper claims Boston University officials told her family that they would not fire Feldman, but would allow Cooper to keep her full soccer scholarship. Cooper said that the school did not investigate her claims. Advertisement Feldman compiled 418 victories to rank 22nd all time among NCAA women's soccer coaches and was named conference coach of the year 12 times. She was the program's only coach since 1995, when it became a varsity sport. Boston University did not immediately respond to a request for comment by The Post. Cooper has hinted at a traumatic experience from her time playing soccer at BU, which included interviews with Cosmopolitan and The New York Times, and it was teased in the trailer for the documentary. The documentary premiered at the Tribeca Film Festival before its release on the streaming platform, and during a Q&A afterward, Cooper, who previously worked for Barstool Sports, said she was motivated to come forward as they were making the film. 'During the filming of this documentary, I found out that the harassment and abuse of power is still happening on the campus of Boston University, and I spoke to one of the victims, and hearing her story was horrific, and I knew in that moment, if I don't speak about this, it's going to continue happening,' Cooper said, according to Deadline. 'Call Her Daddy' became one of the most popular podcasts on the planet after debuting in 2018 and surged to second on the podcast charts behind only 'The Joe Rogan Experience,' before Cooper went over to SiriusXM last year in a massive deal.

Alex Cooper Breaks Down in Tears as She Accuses Her College Soccer Coach of Sexual Harassment
Alex Cooper has come forward with allegations of sexual harassment against her former college soccer coach The Call Her Daddy podcaster made the claims in her new docuseries Call Her Alex, which premiered at the Tribeca Festival in New York City on June 8 Cooper attended and played soccer for Boston University from 2013 to 2015, when she alleges she was sexually harassed by Nancy FeldmanAlex Cooper has come forward with allegations of sexual harassment against her former college soccer coach. In her new Hulu docuseries Call Her Alex, which premiered at the Tribeca Festival in New York City on Sunday, June 8, the Call Her Daddy podcaster, 30, claimed she was sexually harassed by Nancy Feldman while attending Boston University (BU). Cooper said in the documentary that she noticed Feldman "really starting to fixate on me, way more than any other teammate of mine, and it was confusing," during her sophomore year of college. "[It] was all based in her wanting to know who I was dating, her making comments about my body and her always wanting to be alone with me," Cooper claimed in the documentary. Feldman, Boston University and the school's athletic department did not immediately respond to PEOPLE's request for comment on Sunday, June 8. Cooper, who played for BU from 2013 to 2015, also alleged that Feldman would comment on her legs and would put her hand on her thigh. One time, she claimed Feldman asked her during a private meeting if she had had sex the night before. "It was this psychotic game of, 'You want to play? Tell me about your sex life,' " Cooper alleged, claiming that Feldman would tell her, "I have to drive you to your night class. Get in the car with me alone." "I felt so deeply uncomfortable," added the podcaster. Speaking about why she felt she couldn't speak out about the alleged abuse, Cooper said, "I was attending BU on a full-tuition scholarship. If I didn't follow this woman's rules, I was gone." According to Cooper, she spoke about the alleged sexual harassment with her parents, who contacted lawyers. However, the lawyers warned Cooper that the university would drag out a case for years. Boston University athletics officials also allegedly did not take action after Cooper and her parents provided written documentation of Feldman's inappropriate interactions. The college did not fire Feldman, though the coach later retired in 2022. Cooper did not play soccer her senior year, but she kept her scholarship. In the documentary, the project's director, Ry Russo-Young, asked Cooper to walk onto the university's soccer field and reflect on the alleged sexual harassment. During a Q&A held after the documentary's premiere on June 8, Cooper said that it took her 10 years to speak out — and her decision to do so was partly because of the project. "At this point in the filming process, I was not sure I wanted to talk about this experience," she said during the Q&A, referring to the moment she returned to the university campus. Cooper continued, "I was nervous and scared, and so [Russo-Young] was incredibly supportive and just said, 'Let's just go and let's see what comes up.' " "The minute I stepped back on that field, I felt so small," Cooper recalled. "I just felt like I was 18 years old again, and I was in a situation with someone in a position of power who abused their power, and I felt like I wasn't the 'Call Her Daddy' girl. I wasn't someone who had money and influence or whatever. I was just another woman who experienced harassment on a level that changed my life forever and took away the thing I loved the most."

Cooper also said during the Q&A that the whole saga was "frustrating" for her, "because I want to tell women to come forward and say it, but I did, and I wasn't believed, and then it took me a decade." "I'm not ashamed that it took me 10 years," she added. "But it makes me question a lot, and I think this documentary, as difficult as it was to explore, I actually think this is just the beginning." "It's really opened my eyes to how difficult the system is, and it's so built against us as women," Cooper continued. Call Her Alex premieres on Hulu on June 10, with both episodes dropping at once.
