Alex Cooper is sending a message to her former soccer coach, Nancy Feldman, who she claimed sexually harassed her at Boston University.
“Since my documentary has been released it has become public that I was sexually harassed for three years by Nancy Feldman, my college soccer coach at Boston University,” Cooper, 30, wrote via Instagram on Thursday, June 12. “Nancy Feldman was someone I trusted. Someone I believed in. Someone who was supposed to help me grow. Someone who was supposed to protect me. But instead she made my life a living hell and abused her power over me.”
Cooper claimed that Feldman “stripped” her of her identity and “took away” what she had worked her entire life because she “didn’t control herself.”
“This defined my life for a decade and impacted her life 0 percent,” Cooper said, alleging that she reported the abuse to a Boston University Admin and “was turned away and ignored.”

She continued, “There was no accountability, no investigation, and no justice. So when I found out the harassment and abuse was STILL happening on that campus today — 10 years later by Nancy Feldman’s successor and my former assistant coach, I knew I needed to share my story. This is no longer just about me, this is systemic.”
Cooper claimed that she initially felt like she had “no voice” which she said is “no longer the case.”
“Now I’m coming for all of you who abused your power over innocent young individuals. Nancy Feldman, you will no longer be able to hide in the shadows and get away unscathed from the calculated pain you caused me and so many other women,” Cooper wrote. “To anyone who has also experienced what I have and been ignored… I am with you and this is DAY ONE of changing the system, flipping the script and finding justice. We will no longer be silenced. I’m ready to bulldoze through every f***ing door for all of you out there.”
Cooper concluded, “Because when I was 18 years old, dismissed and ignored by Boston University, I prayed and wished someone with a voice would have held my hand and helped me through the darkest time in my life. Daddy Gang, I got you. Stay tuned

Alongside the message, Cooper shared a clip from her new docuseries, Call Her Alex, where she initially made the sexual harassment claims earlier this month.
Us Weekly reached out to Boston University, Boston University Department of Athletics and Feldman.
The “Call Her Daddy” podcast host played for the women’s college soccer team between 2013 and 2015 before graduating from the university in 2017. Feldman retired from the college’s athletic department in 2022 after 27 years of coaching.
