Players from Boston University’s soccer team are offering their support to the team’s former coach, Nancy Feldman, amidst accusations made by Alex Cooper.
Alex Cooper, known for her “Call Her Daddy” podcast, recently claimed in a Hulu documentary that Feldman had sexually harassed her. Cooper also stated that school officials disregarded her complaints when she brought the issue to their attention.
Ninety-nine former Terriers stars came forward as a “united group” to share their own experiences with Feldman, who retired after in April 2022.
They said as a group that they “categorically never felt unsafe,” according to a letter obtained by TMZ.
“We were never at risk of or witness to inappropriate behavior or anything that could be characterized as sexual harassment,” the letter read.
One player expressed, “As a leader, she approached every day with professionalism, making decisions in service of the success of the team. [Feldman] has remained an important part of our lives, and we shall stand by her.”
Cooper claimed that Feldman asked inappropriate questions about her love life in the mid-2010s, and she alleged that she was benched for not disclosing certain intimate information.
Her family then approached school officials over the matter, but nothing came of it.
“I felt a lot of anger — anger at my coach, anger at my school, and anger at the system that allowed this to happen,” Cooper said in the doc.
Cooper claims that she considered filing a lawsuit over the alleged harassment but ultimately chose not to.
Boston University released a statement last week denying any wrongdoing.
“Boston University has a zero-tolerance policy for sexual harassment,” the statement read. “We have a robust system of resources, support and staff dedicated to student wellbeing and a thorough reporting process through our Equal Opportunity Office.
“We encourage members of our community to report any concerns, and we remain committed to fostering a safe and secure campus environment for all.”
Cooper was a midfielder for Boston University from 2013-15 and has since become one of the most popular podcasters in the country.
Her Unwell Network and “Call Her Daddy” podcast vaulted her into stardom since her departure from Barstool Sports in 2021.
