You might be listening to the Each day Roundup right here as a part of the Actuality Steve Podcast, I’m your host actuality. Steve, thanks all for tuning in on this Friday. Good present for you heading into the weekend. I watched the decision her Alex documentary two half sequence on Hulu. Watched it yesterday. And I’ll offer you my ideas on it.
Fast take, completely impressed, uh, by all of it. Actually good documentary, particularly in the event you’re all in favour of simply the podcast sport and the podcast world. Um, and we are going to get to the fallout from that podcast that occurred even yesterday after Alex Cooper posted once more yesterday, after which a response from her school.
We’re additionally going to debate, sorry, lemme get my matters up right here. Gen Trans. Ex-boyfriend, Maddie Rossi. We’re gonna focus on that the traitor’s season forecast has been allegedly leaked. Any person who had one of many extra viral songs within the final 5 years goes to jail for 30 years as a result of he killed any person.
And at last, a sequel that’s 40 years within the making was introduced yesterday, and I can’t be extra excited. I’ll let you know about that developing. We’ll get to all that momentarily. Alright, let’s focus on the, name her Alex podcast. It’s about Alex Cooper’s rise to fame as being essentially the most influential feminine podcaster within the sport.
She may be essentially the most influential podcaster male or feminine at this level, and. It’s a two half sequence on Hulu. Every episode is just one hour lengthy, and the primary episode type of covers her tour that she did final yr and the preparation for it, a few of the issues that just about went improper, after which it dove into, you’ve in all probability seen the headlines over the previous few days.
It dove into her enjoying soccer her first three years at Boston College, however for the primary time in 10 years. She has spoken publicly in regards to the sexual harassment she suffered by the hands of the pinnacle coach, and her title was Nancy Feldman. This has been making information for the final two days as a result of no one ever knew this about Alex Cooper.
As open as she is and what she talks about on her podcast, she has by no means talked about the truth that she was sexually harassed, uh, by her school soccer coach. We noticed the dialogue her. And her mom and her father in confessionals speaking about, they went to the college they usually advised the college. So it’s not like Alex Cooper stored her mouth shut for 10 years and by no means stated a phrase till now.
She went to the college on the time it was occurring, her mom went to the college with a pocket book of every thing Alex ever advised her whereas it was taking place. And the college had no real interest in taking a look at it. They’d no real interest in saying, we’re gonna hearth the coach, we’re gonna do an investigation, nothing.
They principally simply advised her to close up. So she ended up quitting her senior yr and didn’t get to play soccer her senior yr. And so this has clearly made information the final two days, however yesterday Alex Cooper took to Instagram and principally doubled down on every thing that she had stated. Within the documentary, she stated, since my documentary has been launched, it has turn into public that I used to be sexually harassed for 3 years by Nancy Feldman, my school soccer coach at Boston College.
Nancy Feldman was somebody I trusted, somebody I believed in, somebody who was supposed to assist me develop, somebody who was supposed to guard me, however as an alternative she made my life a residing hell and abused her energy over me. She stripped me of my id and took away what I had labored for my whole life as a result of she didn’t management herself.
This outlined my life for a decade and impacted her life 0%. I reported the abuse to the athletic director, drew Ello, and was turned away and ignored. There was no accountability, no investigation, and no justice. So after I discovered the harassment and abuse was nonetheless taking place on that campus immediately. 10 years later by Nancy Feldman’s successor and my former assistant coach.
I knew I wanted to share my story. That is not nearly me. That is system systemic. When this initially occurred to me, I felt like I had no voice, however that’s not the case. Now I’m coming for all you who abused your energy over harmless younger people, Nancy Feldman. You’ll not be capable of disguise within the shadows and get away with unscathed from the calculated ache you trigger me and so many different ladies.
To anybody who has additionally skilled what I’ve been, what I’ve, and been ignored. I’m with you and that is day one in every of altering the system, flipping the script, and discovering justice. We are going to not be silenced. I’m able to bulldoze by way of each fucking door for all of you on the market. As a result of after I was 18 years previous, dismissed and ignored by Boston College, I prayed and wished somebody with a voice would’ve held my hand and helped me by way of the darkest time of my life.
Daddy gang, I bought you. Keep tuned. I’d say that’s a fairly highly effective assertion by one of the highly effective ladies in all of media. Proper now, Boston College is screwed as they need to be. They’ve principally gotten away for 10 years with this. You don’t suppose Alex Cooper popping out with this publicly? In a documentary, and I feel the attention-grabbing a part of her assertion is she clearly has spoken to different gamers.
Phrase bought round to her possibly because the, I imply, it got here out on Tuesday, so it’s solely been out for 2 days. So possibly present Boston College gamers got here to her and stated, thanks for talking out. It’s nonetheless occurring. The coach proper now has accomplished this or stated this to me, so I, I, I assure you. The truth that the voice behind this is among the strongest ladies in media proper now.
Uh, Boston College is totally screwed, and I assure expenses are coming. Completely. I assure whoever the pinnacle coach is correct now who was an assistant underneath. Nancy Feldman, however has now been moved to the pinnacle teaching place, ’trigger Nancy Feldman, I consider, retired in 2022 or 2023. So her assistant took the place, which usually is what occurs.
And apparently that individual has been doing the identical factor. So I assure by this weekend that coach is gone. Whoever that coach is will likely be out of a job by this weekend as a result of Boston College realizes they bought a serious drawback on their hand proper now. So what did Boston College do yesterday? They launched a press release.
Boston College has a zero tolerance coverage for sexual harassment. We’ve got a sturdy system of sources, assist and workers devoted to scholar wellbeing and a radical reporting course of. By our Equal Alternative Workplace, we encourage members of our group to report any issues and can stay dedicated to fostering a secure and safe campus surroundings for all.
Properly, that’s a hell of a press release. 10 years after the very fact, and also you didn’t even deal with what Alex Cooper dropped at the forefront, that you just had a coach that was there for, I don’t know, 20 years or one thing like that, who was sexually harassing Alex Cooper. And let’s put it this fashion, I’m guessing that this girl.
Nancy Feldman, I’m guessing in all her years teaching at Boston College, I’m guessing Alex Cooper wasn’t the one girl that she sexually harassed, however in the event you go watch the documentary, you’ll hear what Alex says, and also you’ll hear what this coach did. It was very, very manipulative, very, very controlling and flat out disgusting, and that girl is in some severe, severe hassle.
I. That takes balls for Alex Cooper to return out now 10 years after the very fact and say, what? I’m placing an finish to this as a result of she is aware of she’s bought a voice now. And as she stated within the state within the assertion in her Instagram submit yesterday. When she was 18 years previous, she didn’t have a voice. No one was listening to her.
Now, she’s essentially the most highly effective girl, girl in one in every of of media, one of the highly effective ladies in all of media. She actually has a voice, and I’m telling you, whoever boss College’s coaches, soccer coaches proper now, ladies’s soccer coach, they are going to be out of a job in all probability by the point you hearken to this ’trigger there’s zero likelihood.
Boston College. Properly, the very first thing they’ll do is that they’ll put that, they’ll say We’re conducting an investigation into the present claims that have been made, uh, by Alex Cooper saying that different college students have, uh, apparently gone to her. They may put that coach on a depart of absence after which they are going to be fired as a result of there’s no manner they’re gonna do an investigation and say, Nope, we discovered nothing.
That coach is allowed to remain on. No likelihood of that taking place. In order that’s the sexual harassment. A part of the documentary, the stuff that was attention-grabbing to me clearly was her constructing her model, her doing a 180 on her model. As a result of we all know when this primary began and he or she was podcasting with Sophia Franklin, it was all about ladies empowerment and two ladies who have been principally doing man speak.
Uh, however for ladies speaking about their intercourse lives, speaking about all their physique components, speaking about blow jobs. I imply, it was. It was what you heard from Man Podcasts, however we had by no means heard two ladies communicate this fashion on a podcast earlier than, they usually clearly blew up at Barstool, after which Sophia determined she didn’t wish to do it anymore.
She went out on her personal. I do know she’s bought a Sophia with an F podcast now. I’m guessing it’s not doing as effectively. Not that Sophia Franklin’s hurting for cash. She’s not, however. When Alex went off on her personal, she signed a 3 yr $60 million cope with Spotify, after which only in the near past she signed a 3 yr, $125 million cope with SiriusXM.
So she is a badass. She is. I imply, it was actually cool seeing that, and I, I give credit score the place credit score is due. She is a self-made girl and I really like the truth that she has constructed what she has. You realize, I don’t pay attention each week. I in all probability listened to 5 of her podcasts whole, however I’ve seen sufficient clips to know she’s a tough employee, and I like the best way that she is rebranded as a result of I don’t suppose that I, I, she doesn’t must do what she was doing earlier with Sophia to succeed clearly, as a result of now she will get all the highest visitors in America, and her podcast is clearly.
If somebody’s gonna pay her wage clever, three years and 125 million, that’s simply her wage. The cash she made, in all probability on that unwell tour. The cash she makes off her merchandise, the unwell what drink, um, and he or she is, she is simply swimming in cash and it’s all self-made. This isn’t any person that’s bought 17 producers that sit within the studio with them.
This isn’t any person that simply takes pictures at individuals with out doing their analysis. That’s why I respect what she’s accomplished, all of the credit score on the planet to Alex Cooper for a way she has not solely constructed the decision her daddy model, however has additionally been capable of pivot and do a 180 and alter her model and never lose her viewers.
She is badass and all of the credit score on the planet to her and. Much more bonus factors for deciding to do that. ’trigger she may have stored her mouth shut. She did for 10 years publicly. Uh, however she determined, what? I could make a distinction. And like I stated. Nancy Feldman is in some severe, severe hassle now ’trigger I assure there will likely be expenses introduced up towards her for certain.
And as I stated, I feel that Boston College coach, whoever it’s proper now, is gonna be out of a job in all probability by this weekend, or a minimum of placed on administrative depart after which will ultimately be fired as soon as an investigation. Occurs. ’trigger I don’t suppose Alex Cooper is writing that assertion that she did yesterday on her Instagram saying that I discovered extra harassment and abuse was nonetheless taking place on that campus immediately.
Yeah, for certain. She’s not gonna say that with none form of proof, which means individuals got here to her and shared their tales together with her and he or she is now saying, Hey, I’m going to make use of my voice to get this to cease. So all the facility, uh, to Alex Cooper, and actually good documentary. Test it out. It’s on Hulu and it’s known as, name Her Alex.
