Alex Cooper’s Harassment Claims Against BU Coach Spark University Response

Alex Cooper, the voice behind the wildly popular Call Her Daddy podcast, recently unleashed a bombshell in her Hulu documentary, accusing her former Boston University soccer coach, Nancy Feldman, of sexual harassment. Cooper, now 30, detailed unsettling claims: Feldman allegedly pried into her personal life, commented on her body, sought one-on-one time, and even touched her inappropriately. "She fixated on me way more than any other teammate," Cooper revealed, her frustration palpable as she described feeling betrayed by both her coach and the university.

In the documentary Call Her Alex, Cooper didn’t hold back, expressing "anger at my coach, anger at my school, and anger at the system" that she believes failed her. She and her parents met with Boston University officials during her time there from 2013 to 2015, but no investigation followed, Feldman kept her job, and Cooper retained her scholarship—a resolution that left her disillusioned.

Boston University finally broke its silence on Friday, issuing a statement that leaned heavily on its "zero-tolerance policy for sexual harassment." The university emphasized its "robust system" for student support and a reporting process through its Equal Opportunity Office, urging community members to come forward with concerns. Yet, the timing of the statement—years after Cooper’s experience—raises questions about accountability.

Cooper’s journey from college athlete to podcasting powerhouse is well-documented. Her Call Her Daddy podcast, started with a former roommate, skyrocketed to fame, landing deals with Barstool Sports, Spotify for $60 million, and later SiriusXM for a jaw-dropping $125 million. Meanwhile, Feldman’s legacy includes 418 victories, ranking her 22nd in women’s college soccer history—a stark contrast to the allegations now casting a shadow over her career.
