Dozens of alumni from Boston University’s women’s soccer team have publicly supported former coach Nancy Feldman, who has been accused by podcast host Alex Cooper of sexual harassment. In the Hulu docuseries “Call Her Alex,” Cooper alleges that Feldman harbored inappropriate behaviors during her time as a player from 2013 to 2015, including unwanted physical contact and invasive personal questions.
The alumni letter, signed by 99 former players and coaches from 1996 to 2022, emphasizes that during Feldman’s tenure, they never felt unsafe or experienced any misconduct. They expressed their support for Feldman, stating she led with professionalism and has been a significant influence in their lives. Cooper, in her statements, described Feldman as someone she trusted and positioned to help her grow, but instead claimed Feldman abused her power, creating a distressing environment.
Cooper’s allegations were backed by her parents, who documented instances of harassment, but she reported that no official investigation was initiated when brought to the attention of university officials. After the release of the docuseries, Boston University reiterated its commitment to a zero-tolerance policy for sexual harassment and emphasized its resources dedicated to student safety.
Cooper, who has gained significant attention through her podcast “Call Her Daddy,” expressed determination to advocate for those who have faced similar experiences and to ensure that those in power are held accountable. She stated her intent to speak out for others who felt unheard during their struggles. The university has not directly addressed Cooper’s allegations but maintains its focus on creating a secure environment for all students.
