Glambot creator and red carpet regular Cole Walliser has addressed online backlash after a brief interaction with Jennifer Lopez at the Golden Globes sparked accusations that the singer and actress was rude.

The moment occurred when Lopez stopped to pose for Walliser’s high-speed Glambot camera, a popular red carpet feature known for its dramatic slow-motion visuals. Video footage showed Lopez offering minimal verbal interaction as Walliser greeted her enthusiastically and asked if she had a preferred pose. She demonstrated her pose silently before quickly moving on, prompting social media users to criticize her demeanor.

Comments questioning Lopez’s behavior quickly gained traction, with many suggesting the interaction reinforced long-standing perceptions of her being distant or dismissive on red carpets. The clip circulated widely across social platforms, fueling debate about celebrity etiquette and expectations.

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

Walliser, however, pushed back against the criticism in a video shared on his Instagram account. He emphasized that red carpets are high-pressure environments where celebrities are often rushed between obligations. According to Walliser, Glambot appearances are optional, and he appreciates anyone who takes the time to participate.

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

He explained that many celebrities may not fully understand what they are stepping into when approaching the Glambot, noting that distractions, time constraints, and crowd noise can affect interactions. Walliser stressed that Lopez’s behavior did not feel rude to him, describing her approach as focused and professional rather than dismissive.

“She was ready to go inside, the carpet was closing, and she knew what she wanted to do,” Walliser said, adding that her body language reflected preparation rather than indifference.

Lopez has not publicly addressed the backlash, but she did leave heart emojis on Walliser’s original Glambot post, signaling goodwill amid the online debate.
