The women's soccer coach accused of sexual harassment by Alex Cooper has received support from a number of former Boston University players, according to reports.
Cooper, who played at the school from 2013-15, made the bombshell allegations against longtime coach Nancy Feldman in her newly-released Hulu documentary, 'Call Me Alex.'
The Call Her Daddy podcast host described the harassment as 'extremely painful' and claims it has had 'lasting effects' on her to this day, while she also alleges that her concerns were dismissed by school officials.
Yet according to TMZ Sports, several ex-Boston University women's players insist their interactions with Feldman were drastically different.
A letter from a representative of BU Women's Soccer alumni, which has been signed by 99 former Terriers stars, reportedly states that while they do not want to 'diminish or discredit anyone's individual experience,' they felt obliged to share their own experiences as a 'united group.'
The group claim in the letter that they 'categorically never felt unsafe' under Feldman's leadership, before adding: 'We were never at risk of or witness to inappropriate behavior or anything that could be characterized as sexual harassment.

'As a leader, she approached every day with professionalism, making decisions in service of the success of the team.'
Players spanning several decades are reported to have signed the letter, which adds that Feldman's influence didn't end after their collegiate careers.
'She has remained an important part of our lives, and we shall stand by her,' they said.
Despite close to 100 ex-players standing by Feldman, Cooper's allegations of unwanted attention and invasive questions are corroborated by her former dormmate and teammate Alex Schlobohm.
Boston University officials and Nancy Feldman did not respond to a request for comment from DailyMail.com last week.
However, the school finally issued a response to Cooper's claims last Friday.
'Boston University has a zero-tolerance policy for sexual harassment,' it began in a statement obtained by People. 'We have a robust system of resources, support and staff dedicated to student wellbeing and a thorough reporting process through our Equal Opportunity Office.
'We encourage members of our community to report any concerns, and we remain committed to fostering a safe and secure campus environment for all.'
