In the Hulu docuseries Call Her Alex, premiered on June 10, 2025, after debuting at the Tribeca Film Festival, Alex Cooper, host of the Call Her Daddy podcast, delivers a bombshell revelation about her time as a Division 1 soccer player at Boston University. Cooper alleges that her former coach, Nancy Feldman, sexually harassed her over three years, starting in her sophomore year (2013–2015). She describes inappropriate comments about her body and dating life, unwanted physical contact, and attempts to isolate her from teammates, culminating in retaliation like benching her during games. Cooper claims BU officials dismissed her complaints, offering to let her keep her scholarship but refusing to investigate Feldman, who retired in 2022. The revelation, detailed at the end of Part 1, left audiences at the premiere gasping, with Cooper visibly emotional during the Q&A, noting it took a decade to speak out due to fear and shame, especially as her abuser was a woman.
The two-part series, directed by Ry Russo-Young, also traces Cooper’s journey from a bullied, red-haired kid in Pennsylvania to a media mogul behind a $125 million SiriusXM deal. It covers her podcast’s evolution from raunchy sex talk to celebrity interviews, her split with co-host Sofia Franklyn, and her parents’ support despite community backlash over episodes like “Gluck Gluck 9000.” Cooper’s disclosure, amplified by her platform and the documentary’s raw portrayal, underscores systemic issues in reporting harassment, as she learned similar abuses persist at BU. Fans on X praised her vulnerability, calling the docuseries a powerful testament to her resilience.
Call Her Alex streams exclusively on Hulu in the U.S. ($9.99/month with a 30-day free trial) and Disney+ internationally.
