‘Call Her Daddy’ host Alex Cooper claims college soccer coach sexually harassed her

Popular podcaster Alex Cooper claims in a new Hulu docuseries, 'Call Her Alex,' that she was sexually harassed by her soccer coach during her time playing at Boston University.

Popular podcaster Alex Cooper claims in a new docuseries that she was sexually harassed by her soccer coach at Boston University.

“Call Her Alex,” which premiered at the Tribeca Film Festival on Sunday and debuts on Hulu on Tuesday, chronicles the media figure’s ascent to stardom, detailing her early childhood in Pennsylvania and her journey to become one of the most influential podcasters.

In the two-part docuseries, which NBC News viewed screeners of, the “Call Her Daddy” host alleges that her former coach Nancy Feldman “fixated” on her, “wanting to know who I was dating ... making comments on my body and always wanting to be alone with me.”

Cooper played on the team from 2013 to 2015, according to the BU women’s soccer website. Feldman, who retired in 2022 after 27 years at the university, made comments about her appearance and her legs, Cooper alleges, and put her hand on Cooper’s thigh. She said Feldman also once questioned her about a date, asking whether she had had sex the night before.

“I felt so deeply uncomfortable,” she says in the docuseries, adding that she was attending BU on a full-tuition scholarship and felt if she “didn’t follow” Feldman’s rules, she’d be “gone.”
