Alex Cooper has spoken out after additional allegations have been made about sexual misconduct within the Boston University women’s soccer program.
Cooper, 30, who played at BU from 2013 to 2015, responded to a story in the Boston Globe on Thursday, June 26, in which current and former BU players accused former BU coach Casey Brown of inappropriate behavior.
In particular, one former BU player alleged Casey sent her video footage of the athlete competing in a game which included “moaning sounds” from the coach.
“You have a coach masturbating to a players game tape,” Cooper wrote via her Instagram Story on Thursday.
Cooper accused former BU coach Nancy Feldman of sexual harassment in her recent Hulu docuseries, Call Me Alex. Feldman retired in 2022.
Earlier this month, Boston University responded to Cooper’s allegations against Feldman, saying the school has “a zero-tolerance policy for sexual harassment.”
The “Call Her Daddy” podcast host opened up about her experiences with Casey on Thursday.
“Casey Brown was my assistant coach at the time,” Cooper wrote via her Instagram Story, sharing a link to the Boston Globe story. “She watched Nancy sexually harass me and abuse her power … and now it’s finally coming out she went on to do it herself when she became the head coach at BU. I’m disgusted but sadly not surprised. This is systemic.”
According to the Globe, at least 18 BU soccer players reported similar allegations of harassment by Casey to the university’s Equal Opportunity Office last year.
The coach was placed on leave in the middle of last season and resigned in December 2024 after BU commissioned an investigation into complaints from the soccer players.
In a statement to the Globe, Casey “strongly denied” the accusations.
Boston University said they found “no BU policy violations and no evidence of sexual harassment” during their investigation into the allegations against Casey, which Cooper criticized.
“After allll these women coming forward…Boston University stands by their statement,” Cooper wrote via her Instagram Story.
Cooper tagged her alma mater in another slide and wrote, “What exactly do you need to happen to another student athlete in order for you [to] stand up and protect and defend all of these women???”
“I feel sick and angry,” Cooper wrote in another slide. “How do we continue to fail to protect women. This is exhausting honestly. And it’s not just sports it’s everywhere. To anyone who is understandably afraid to come forward but wants to tell their story, my dms are open ❤️.”
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 […]
In reflecting on telling her story, Cooper said “the past few weeks have been a lot.”
“It’s been extremely difficult and emotional to come forward but now I want to say – to all the victims, I am so sorry,” Cooper wrote via her Instagram Story on Thursday. “Seeing this unfold and more and more women come forward with their experience with Nancy Feldman is heartbreaking. But finally our voices are being heard after so many decades of the harassment and abuse being reported to the athletic director and nothing happening.”
She continued, “Hopefully Boston University will look at their organization and make changes to ensure this NEVER HAPPENS TO ANOTHER ATHLETE ON THAT CAMPUS AGAIN.”
