Alex Cooper Accuses Boston University Coach of Sexual Harassment, Assistant Coach Denies Claims

Alex Cooper, host of the podcast Call Her Daddy, has accused her former Boston University women's soccer coach, Nancy Feldman, of sexual harassment during her time on the team from 2013 to 2015. Cooper alleges Feldman made inappropriate comments about her body, sought to be alone with her, touched her thighs, and questioned her invasively about her personal life. Cooper also described an incident where, while recovering from mononucleosis, she was the only player called in by Feldman and assistant coach Casey Brown to explain how she contracted the illness; Cooper claimed she pleaded silently for Brown’s help, but Brown did nothing. Brown responded by stating she has no recollection of the events Cooper described and denied ignoring any player seeking help, emphasizing her duty to protect athletes. Boston University issued a statement affirming its zero-tolerance policy for sexual harassment and highlighted its resources and reporting processes to support student well-being. The university, Cooper, and former assistant coach Brown’s statements reflect conflicting accounts regarding the handling of Cooper’s allegations, which were also documented in Cooper’s 2025 Hulu documentary, Call Her Alex.
