A contingent of former Boston University women’s soccer players have reportedly spoken out in defense of former head coach Nancy Feldman amid sexual harassment claims by podcaster Alex Cooper.

Cooper made the initial claims in her "Call Her Alex" Hulu documentary, which premiered last week. She explained further how she felt about her time in the soccer program in a subsequent Q&A session after the film debuted.

After the university released a statement on Friday, TMZ Sports acquired a letter from a representative of 99 Boston University alumni who spoke out in support of Feldman. The letter said they didn't intend to "diminish or discredit anyone's individual experience," but they felt like it was necessary to back Feldman.

The alumni said they "categorically never felt unsafe."

"We were never at risk of or witness to inappropriate behavior or anything that could be characterized as sexual harassment," the letter read, via TMZ Sports. "As a leader, she approached every day with professionalism, making decisions in service of the success of the team."

The 30-year-old claimed that the coach had asked about her sex life, commented on her body, tried to get alone time with her and touched her. Feldman would "fixate on me way more than any other teammate of mine," Cooper said.
