Alex Cooper Drops Bombshell in New Hulu Documentary

Alex Cooper, known for her popular podcast Call Her Daddy, recently shared a powerful and emotional revelation in her new Hulu documentary, Call Her Alex. During a Q&A session at the Tribeca Festival, Cooper bravely opened up about being sexually harassed by her college soccer coach, calling it a life-changing experience.

In the documentary, Cooper detailed the inappropriate behavior she endured from her former coach, Nancy Feldman, while attending Boston University. According to multiple reports, Feldman made inappropriate comments about Cooper’s body, tried to be alone with her, asked her sexual questions, and made unwelcome advances. Despite Cooper’s efforts to distance herself from Feldman, she claimed that she faced consequences such as reduced playing time.

Cooper explained that she waited several years to speak out about her experience because of the emotional impact it had on her. She revealed that her lawyers warned her and her parents that the university would prolong the complaint process and that Boston University did not respond to reports of Feldman’s misconduct. Despite the challenges she faced, Cooper returned to her alma mater to film parts of the documentary.

During the Q&A session, Cooper emotionally recalled the pain and power dynamics she faced, expressing how the experience had a lasting impact on her life and took away something she loved dearly. She received a supportive ovation from the audience, showing solidarity with her as she shared her story.

Cooper has credited her podcasting career to the undisclosed trauma, where she has amassed a large following of listeners. She also joined NBC for coverage of the Paris Olympics. The documentary, Call Her Alex, is currently available for streaming on Hulu.

HuffPost reached out to Boston University for comment and attempted to contact Feldman for a response. Cooper’s brave decision to share her story sheds light on the importance of addressing harassment and abuse of power, sparking important conversations about accountability and support for survivors.
