Cole Walliser has set the record straight about singer-actor Jennifer Lopez’s viral Glambot moment at the Golden Globes 2026.

 

Walliser, the Canadian filmmaker and music video director who is the mastermind behind the popular Glambot slow-motion red carpet videos, rubbished the chatter that JLo was rude to him during her viral Glambot moment at the recent Golden Globes award ceremony.

 

Addressing the controversy in an Instagram video, Walliser said he never felt disrespected during the interaction.

 

The clip came after social media users accused Lopez of being dismissive during her Glambot shoot at the awards ceremony on January 11.

 

While getting into position for the shoot, Lopez was seen facing away from Walliser as he directed her. A behind-the-scenes video showed Lopez posing for the camera before walking away with a wave, which some fans interpreted as rude behaviour.

 

Clarifying the situation, Walliser said: "I didn't take it personally. It didn't feel rude in that moment.”

 

"She's just down to business. The carpet was closed. She's ready to go inside. She knew what she was going to do. She got into the position," Walliser explained, adding that it was coincidental that Lopez's position had her facing away from him while he was giving directions.

"It's just unfortunate that the position was that she was facing away from me. So I am talking to her; she is looking away, but she's getting ready for the move," he said, noting that he fully understood what Lopez was doing at the time.

 

Walliser further pointed out that red carpet environments are often chaotic, with celebrities frequently unsure about what they are approaching. "Sometimes they don't know what they're walking up to. It's just because it's so crazy," he said, adding that such situations are common and not unique to Lopez.

 

Emphasising his broader experience, Walliser stated that he has never felt mistreated by any celebrity. "I've never felt anybody was rude to me. I think people are at work. They're rushed. The world is crazy, and I never take it personally," he said.

 

He also expressed gratitude to fans for their support and enthusiasm for the Glambot over the years.
