Jennifer Lopez has been defended by the director who filmed her viral glamor moment on the 2026 Golden Globes red carpet, which was later branded “gross” after significant online speculation.
Cole Walliser, who usually films the glambot series for E! Newsreflected on the video seen around the world, saying “it didn’t seem rude.”
“I didn’t take it personally, it didn’t seem rude to me at the time,” he said in a recent TikTok post.
“First of all, she’s just on the job…she’s ready to come in, she knew what she was going to do when she came into the job and I think it was just unfortunate that the job was facing me,” the Canadian director said.
To recall, J.Lo sparked widespread retaliation from social media users after she was seen ignoring Walliser as he greeted 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 remarked: “And be careful, it’s HIS camera.”
Despite the criticism, Cole Walliser reiterated that Jennifer Lopez was “just at work” as everyone was “late” on the red carpet at the time.
