Jennifer Lopez has been defended by the director who filmed her viral glamor moment from the 2026 Golden Globes red carpet, which was later branded “rude” after widespread online speculation.
Cole Walliser, who usually films the Glambot series for MY! Newsreflected on the video seen around the world and said it “didn’t feel rude.”
“I didn’t take it personally, it didn’t seem rude to me at the time,” he said in a recent TikTok message.
“First, she just got to work…she’s ready to go in, she knew what she was going to do when she took the job and I think it was unfortunate that the job was with her back to me,” the Canadian director said.
To recall, J.Lo sparked widespread retaliation from social media users after she was seen seemingly ignoring Walliser as he waved at her and directed her towards the glambot.
One of the top comments on the post, posted four days ago, read: “She didn’t even talk to him!!!!!”
While another noted: “And keep in mind this is THEIR camera.”
Despite the criticism, Cole Walliser reiterated that Jennifer Lopez was “just getting to work” as everyone was “late” to the red carpet at the time.
