"It took me a decade to tell this story and I'll be honest even saying the words to you right now I was sexually harassed by my college soccer coach I still feel uneasy and uncomfortable and anxious with all of it." — Alex

The host of "Call Her Daddy" announces the release of her documentary, "Call Her Alex," on Hulu. While feeling proud, she also expresses nervousness about revealing a deeply personal aspect of her life: years of traumatic sexual harassment endured from her college soccer coach. She notes that even speaking about it publicly remains challenging, highlighting the difficulty in finding the right way to discuss such experiences. The decision to explore this in the documentary was influenced by a return to her college campus, where confronting the soccer field triggered a significant emotional breakdown, revealing the extent to which she had suppressed her trauma.
The host details several reasons for her hesitation to share her story, including the inherent pain, feelings of embarrassment, fear of retaliation, and concern that the non-physical nature of the abuse might be downplayed. She also grappled with shame that her abuser was a woman, fearing it could undermine her platform's message of female empowerment. However, discovering that other women had suffered similar harassment on the same campus and that the abuse was ongoing in 2025 solidified her resolve to speak out, realizing the issue was larger than her own experience.
This realization underscored the importance of her platform; if someone with her level of influence still felt fear in sharing, it would discourage other victims. By sharing her story and the documentary, she aims to acknowledge what she endured and what women continue to face globally. She expresses deep gratitude to her audience, "daddy gang," for their support, which she credits as essential to her healing and ability to release such a personal project. She encourages viewers to watch "Call Her Alex" on Hulu.
