Podcast Host Alex Cooper Alleges Sexual Harassment by Boston University Soccer Coach

Alex Cooper, host of the popular "Call Her Daddy" podcast, has publicly accused her former Boston University women’s soccer coach, Nancy Feldman, of sexually harassing her during her time on the team from 2013 to 2015. Cooper alleges that Feldman made inappropriate comments about her body, pressured her to spend time alone, crossed physical boundaries including touching her thigh, and asked invasive questions about her sex life. Despite reporting the harassment to Boston University's athletic director, Cooper claims the university protected the coach and silenced her, even offering to keep her scholarship only if she left the team before her senior season. Cooper revealed these allegations in her Hulu docuseries "Call Her Alex," stating the abuse defined her life for nearly a decade and that other women at the university may still be facing similar harassment. Boston University has issued a general statement but has not directly addressed Cooper's specific claims, and the coach retired in 2022. Cooper’s revelations have sparked widespread attention and criticism of the university’s handling of the situation, as she continues to speak out against the abuse and lack of accountability.
