Jennifer Lopez has been defended by the director who shot her viral glambot moment from the 2026 Golden Globes red carpet, which was later branded “rude” following widespread online speculation.
Cole Walliser, who usually films the glambot series for E! Newsreflected on the video seen around the world, saying that “it didn’t feel rude”.
“I didn’t take it personally, it didn’t feel rude at that moment,” he said in a recent TikTok message.
“The one, she’s just getting going … she’s ready to go in, she knew what she wanted to do when she got into the position and I think it was just, like, unfortunate that the position had turned away from me,” the Canadian director said.
To recall, J.Lo sparked widespread retaliation from social media users after she apparently ignored Walliser when he greeted her and directed her to the glam bot.
One of the top comments on the post, published four days ago, read: “She didn’t even talk to him!!!!!”
While another pointed out: “And mind you, it’s HIS camera”.
Despite the criticism, Cole Walliser reiterated that Jennifer Lopez was “just getting started” as everyone was “late” on the red carpet at the time.
