You can call her Daddy, you can call her Alex, and now, you can call her an advocate: for truth, survivors, and for every person who's been silenced by an institution meant to protect them.
Before interviewing celebrities on the Call Her Daddy podcast, Unwell founder Alex Cooper was a D1 athlete on Boston University’s women’s soccer team…and hid a painful secret for years.
I could have done a better job at handling BU's allegations as a former PR intern. So, I'm doing exactly that: breaking down the raw, and deeply personal s*xual harassment allegations from Alex Cooper’s new Hulu documentary, Call Her Alex, where she speaks out for the first time about her experience, and taking it a step further by talking about what BU should have done better (and could still do to). Ultimately, this is about an even bigger message hers represents: It’s a story about broken systems that protect alleged abusers, and about what it means to reclaim your voice—and the ripple effect that happens when one woman finally says: enough.
