The statement comes after Cooper, 30, alleged in her documentary, *Call Her Alex*, that she was sexually harassed by former coach Nancy Feldman while attending Boston University (BU).
She made further claims in an Instagram post shared 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,” she wrote.
“She stripped me of my identity and took away what I had worked my entire life for because she didn’t control herself,” Cooper continued. “This defined my life for a decade and impacted her life 0%. I reported the abuse to the athletic director, Drew Marrochello, and I was turned away and ignored.”
Cooper’s docuseries premiered at the Tribeca Festival in New York City on Sunday, June 8. She detailed the allegations during a Q&A session at the project’s debut.

“The minute I stepped back on that field, I felt so small,” Cooper said.
In her documentary, she alleged that she noticed Feldman “really starting to fixate on me, way more than any other teammate of mine, and it was confusing,” during her sophomore year of college.
“[It] was all based in her wanting to know who I was dating, her making comments about my body and her always wanting to be alone with me,” Cooper claimed in the docuseries.
“It was this psychotic game of, ‘You want to play? Tell me about your sex life,’ ” Cooper alleged, adding that Feldman would tell her, “I have to drive you to your night class. Get in the car with me alone.”
Cooper and her parents, Bryan and Laurie Cooper, further alleged that BU athletics admin failed to take action after being provided written documentation of Feldman’s inappropriate behaviors. Feldman continued to coach women’s soccer at Boston University until her retirement in 2022.
Feldman coached soccer at BU from 1995 to 2022.
