1. Alex Cooper Was Viciously Bullied as a Child
In Part One, Cooper shares an old photo of her from when she was a child, making note of her braces, freckles, natural red hair, and skinny legs.
Cooper would go on to explain how boys would viciously bully her, comparing her to a skeleton and make all the usual comments that go with being a ginger (no soul, etc.).
This led to significant self-hatred for Cooper, especially when she was at sleepovers with her friends who didn't have these problems.
2. "The Unwell Tour" Almost Didn't Happen
In Part One, production manager Jon Dindas appeared as if he was going to walk out on the "Unwell Tour" the day before the first performance in Boston.
While there were no exact details revealed regarding what happened, it was stated that he was "burnt out." When Cooper stated that no one knew how to do anything but him, Dindas laughed and said, "That's part of the problem."

"My sophomore year everything really shifted. I started to notice her really starting to fixate on me way more than any other teammate of mine. And it was confusing because the focus wasn't on 'You're doing so well, let's get you on the field, you're going to be a starter.'
"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 then revealed that she would have private meetings with Feldman where she would stare at her, sit next to her on the couch, and put her hand on Cooper's thigh.
Cooper then revealed that her coach's questions eventually became about her sex life, and if she didn't speak about them, "there would be consequences."
"It was this psychotic game of 'You want to play, tell me about your sex life,'" Cooper said. "'I have to drive you to your night class. Get in the car with me, alone.'"
Cooper later shared more details about her experience on the "Call Her Daddy" YouTube account, as well as how much revisiting her college campus had an effect on her.

"The minute I stepped back on that field, I felt so small," Cooper later said during a Q&A, per Marie Claire. "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 that power.
"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."
5. Cooper's Parents Supported Her, Although Her Family and Community Did Not
While Cooper didn't really speak to her breakup with "Call Her Daddy" co-creator and former co-host Sofia Franklyn, she and her family went into detail about how the sexually explicit nature of the show – like the infamous "Gluck Gluck 9000," – had an effect on her extended family and community.
"You know, if I can be a little bold about my daughter, our town, it was turning things upside down," Cooper's mother said. "People were talking about it, like, 'How could she do this? She's a good kid. She was raised well.'"
"Even at some of these tour shows, they look at me and they're like, 'Are you ok with this?'" Cooper's father shared. "They give me that look and I'm like, 'Yeah.'"
"We're talking sex, we're talking relationships. Everyone's having fun. And by the way, if you listen to the screaming... I think it's pretty successful."
