Hulu is set to premiere “Call Her Alex”, a two-part documentary about the life of Call Her Daddy host Alex Cooper. The doc explores Cooper’s journey from a bullied middle-schooler making home videos in her suburban basement to becoming one of the highest-paid podcasters, worth $125 million.
The documentary reveals Cooper’s complicated history as a Division 1 soccer player at Boston University and the launch of her hit podcast Call Her Daddy in 2018. It also touches on the fallout with her original co-host Sofia Franklyn and her highly lucrative deal.
In an exclusive look at her personal life, Cooper opens up about being bullied for her red hair as a child, and how her parents supported her career from the beginning. However, she also makes a serious accusation against her former Boston University women’s soccer coach Nancy Feldman, alleging sexual harassment during her time on the team.
The documentary also provides a glimpse into Cooper’s relationship with her husband Matt Kaplan, a film producer who is deeply involved in the Call Her Daddy business. Fans will enjoy seeing previously unseen footage of their wedding and moments from their private life, showcasing the less-stressful side of Cooper.
While “Call Her Alex” offers an interesting look at Cooper’s rise to fame, it also raises questions about her authenticity as a public figure, with some arguing that fans may get a more unfiltered experience by listening to old podcast episodes.
