Cooper said Feldman’s actions transformed her love for soccer into something painful.She described how Feldman allegedly fixated on her, making comments about her body and wanting to be alone with her. Cooper claims Feldman would focus on her appearance during tape reviews and make inappropriate comments.
She further alleges that Feldman would touch her thigh and stare at her, making her feel deeply uncomfortable. Cooper felt compelled to comply due to her full-tuition scholarship, fearing she would lose it if she didn’t follow feldman’s “rules.”
Feldman, hired in 1995, retired in 2022 after building Boston University’s women’s soccer program into a competitive team. Representatives for Feldman and Boston University have been contacted for comment.
