Cooper went to Boston University to play football for Terrier from 2013-2015. She revealed in the documentary that she left the team before her senior season. She performed in 21 matches for Boston University in her junior and Sophomore seasons and played 19 in her first year.
When the film debuted at the Tribeca Film Festival on Sunday, Deadline reported that Cooper said she was sexually harassed by Feldman, which led to her leaving the team.

Cooper said the alleged events started his second year and claimed that Feldman began to focus more on her personal life than her sporting life. She said Feldman asked her questions about her sex life and would put her hand on her legs.
“I began to notice that her really started to fix me more than any other teammate of me,” she said in the documentary. “And it was confusing because the focus wasn’t like ‘you are doing so well, let us get you on the field, you become a starter.’

“It was all based on (Feldman) who wanted to know who I was with her comments about my body and her would always be alone with me.”
Cooper said she would try to avoid Feldman, but the coach would be retaliated by cutting her playing time.
She reportedly opened more about the incident in a question-and-response session after the documentary’s debut.

“And the moment I stepped back on the field, I felt so small,” she said via the deadline. “I felt like I was 18 years old again. And I was in a situation with someone in a position of power that abused their power. And I felt I wasn’t the ‘call her daddy’ girl. I wasn’t someone who had money and influence or whatever it was. I was just another woman who experienced harassment at a level that changed my life forever and removed it.
Pakinomist Digital reached out to Boston University and Feldman for comment.
Feldman retired from Coaching in 2022. Cooper claimed that university officials rejected her concerns and lawyers she spoke with, warned that litigation could pull out for years.
