“Call Her Daddy Host Alex Cooper Alleges Former Coach of Sexual Harassment in Documentary”
Alex Cooper, the host of “Call Her Daddy,” recently made headlines after accusing her former college soccer coach of sexual harassment in her new documentary, “Call Her Alex,” which premiered on Hulu this Tuesday.
In the two-episode series, Cooper, who hails from Newtown, Bucks County, details her journey towards stardom as she prepared for her live tour in November 2023. The documentary sheds light on her rise to fame, starting from when she first launched her advice show in 2018. Over time, her podcast gained immense popularity, becoming one of the most listened to podcasts nationwide.
Cooper recounts her time as a student-athlete at Boston University, where she played soccer on a full scholarship. During her sophomore year, she alleges that her coach, Nancy Feldman, began acting inappropriately towards her. Cooper shares instances where Feldman made uncomfortable comments about her body, inquired about her dating life, and crossed boundaries by touching her thigh during post-practice meetings.
In response, Cooper started avoiding Feldman and adjusted her schedule to prevent interactions with her coach. Despite seeking legal advice and informing the athletics department, Cooper was left with few options. She eventually left the team after her junior year but managed to retain her scholarship.
Boston University has yet to offer a comment on the matter, and efforts to reach Feldman have been unsuccessful, as she retired from coaching in 2022. The documentary sheds light on Cooper’s decision to speak out against the alleged harassment and is available for viewing on Hulu. Cooper also released a companion podcast episode discussing her reasons for coming forward.
As the unfolding narrative captures attention, viewers are left to consider the impact of Cooper’s words and the broader conversation about harassment in sports.
