HuffPost
The “Call Her Daddy” podcaster delved into newly revealed trauma in an emotional Q&A.
Alex Cooper revealed she was sexually harassed by her college soccer coach in her new documentary, “Call Her Alex,” then told a Tribeca Film Festival audience Sunday that it “changed my life forever.”
The “Call Her Daddy” podcast star fielded a Q&A session after the Hulu docuseries about her premiered, leaving spectators gasping when she made the stunning claim, Deadline wrote. She said while on stage that she had waited several years to go public because it was difficult to reopen the wound.
Cooper alleged in “Call Her Alex” that her then-coach at Boston University, Nancy Feldman, made comments about her body, constantly attempted to be alone with her, asked her sexual questions, and made unwelcome efforts to touch her thigh, multiple outlets reported. Cooper claimed that attempts to distance herself from Feldman resulted in less playing time.
Lawyers warned Cooper and her parents that the school would “drag out” a complaint for years, and the university did not respond to documentation of Feldman’s misconduct, Cooper said, per reports.
Cooper played for Boston University from 2013 to 2015. Feldman retired in 2022.
