Overview

  • Alex Cooper claims in her new docuseries “Call Her Alex” that coach Nancy Feldman made inappropriate comments about her body, probed her dating life and insisted on private meetings during her sophomore soccer season.
  • Cooper says Boston University officials dismissed her written complaints within minutes, declined to investigate and still allowed Feldman to remain while she kept her full scholarship.
  • “Call Her Alex” premiered at the Tribeca Film Festival on June 8 and launched on Hulu on June 10, marking Cooper’s first public account of the decade-old allegations.
  • Nancy Feldman retired in 2022 after 27 years leading BU’s women’s soccer program, and neither she nor Boston University has publicly responded to Cooper’s claims.
  • Cooper says she decided to speak out now after learning similar abuses persist on campus and she views the documentary as both a healing step and a call for institutional accountability.
