The Dark Secret Alex Cooper Finally Revealed
Oh joy, another celebrity scandal that’s been hiding in plain sight. Look, I don’t want to be the one to say it, but here we are – Alex Cooper, the podcaster behind Call Her Daddy, has finally spilled the tea on her alleged sexual harassment at the hands of her college soccer coach, Nancy Feldman. And let me tell you, it’s about time.
Apparently, Cooper had been debating whether or not to share her story for years, but it wasn’t until she discovered that other women had experienced similar harassment at Boston University that she decided to come forward. Because, you know, it’s not like she had a platform or anything. In her documentary, Call Her Alex, Cooper opens up about the alleged harassment she faced, and let me tell you, it’s not pretty.
According to Cooper, the harassment started when she was a student at Boston University, where Feldman was her soccer coach. Cooper claims that Feldman made unwanted advances towards her, and that she felt uncomfortable and scared. And who can blame her? I mean, it’s not like Cooper was in a position of power or anything – she was just a college student trying to navigate her athletic career.
But what’s even more disturbing is that Cooper claims that Feldman retired from BU in 2022, but the harassment allegedly continued even after that. Because, of course, some people just can’t seem to leave well enough alone. Cooper also claims that she was hesitant to share her story because she was afraid of retaliation and worried that people would downplay or dismiss her experiences.
I told you so – the lack of accountability in these situations is staggering. And let’s be real, it’s not like Cooper is the first person to come forward with allegations of sexual harassment. But hey, at least she’s using her platform to raise awareness, right? Cooper’s decision to share her story is a big deal, and it’s about time someone did.
As Cooper so eloquently put it, “If a woman in my position—who has power, a platform—is still scared of speaking out about my own lived experience of sexual harassment, how the hell will any other woman feel safe and confident to come forward?” Well, Alex, it’s about time you decided to use that platform for good. And to all the other victims out there, Cooper has a message: “You are not alone, I see you, I believe you and I stand with you.”
And that, dear reader, is why we can’t have nice things – because some people just can’t seem to behave themselves. But hey, at least we’re having this conversation now.
