A serious case of mistaken identity, and sloppy editing, has caused a battle between one of the country’s biggest mainstream news publications and South Carolina Republican Nancy Mace after the outlet erroneously accused Mace of sexual harassment in a bombshell story they recently published.
New York Magazine is under fire and in damage control after mistakingly linking Mace to a college soccer coach accused of sexually harassing podcaster Alex Cooper.
On Monday, the magazine posted on X that “Nancy Mace” is facing allegations of sexual misconduct — when it really meant Nancy Feldman, the former Boston University women’s soccer coach that Cooper is accusing.
“‘Call Her Daddy’ host Alex Cooper says she was sexually harassed by her Boston University soccer coach, Nancy Mace, in her new Hulu documentary, ‘Call Her Alex,’” the post stated, linking to a story by The Cut.
The post was since deleted, but a screenshot of the flub was captured and spread across social media. Check out the photo below courtesy of The New York Post.
The erroneous tweet was up for less than an hour before it was deleted and replaced with the correct name.

But the damage was done, and Mace took notice.
“We are demanding an immediate retraction and full correction,” Mace posted on X. “You don’t get to smear me with a lazy, dangerous typo.”
NOT ME. WRONG PERSON.
Let me be absolutely clear:
I’ve never met her.
I’ve never coached soccer at Boston University.
And I have never — ever — sexually harassed anyone.@NYMag, and anyone repeating this lie: Take it down or lawyer up.We are demanding an immediate retraction… pic.twitter.com/pFNCZc3Ifm

Mace also wrote that she’s never met Cooper or coached the BU soccer team.
“And I have never – ever – sexually harassed anyone,” she wrote. “@NYMag, and anyone repeating this lie: Take it down or lawyer up.”
Cooper, a popular social media influencer and podcaster made the allegations against Feldman in the upcoming Hulu documentary “Call Her Alex,” claiming the sexual harassment started her sophomore year at the elite school.
New York Magazine declined to comment about the mistake and Mace’s subsequent post.
The post shared an article from The Cut, which had the correct information.
Mace has previously accused her ex-fiancé and three business partners of committing sexual crimes against herself and a dozen other women — accusations that he has denied.
As previously reported by The Horn News, Mace is mulling a run for governor of South Carolina.
