She walked the carpet so close to it closing (it might have technically been closed at that point), so I was happy she was able to quickly stop,\u201d he wrote. \u201cNo messing around \u2014 just wham, bam, thank you, GLAM!\u201d<\/p>\n The internet was not impressed<\/p>\n However, the comments were unanimous and people were quick to weigh in on her \u201crude\u201d and \u201cawful\u201d behaviour.<\/p>\n \u201cMy favourite part was when she didn\u2019t look at, speak to, or smile at you,\u201d comedian Jaime French wrote.<\/p>\n Another commenter asked, \u201cJesus Cole, did Jlo even speak a word to you?\u201d<\/p>\n Your Midday Sun<\/p>\n Thanks for signing up!<\/p>\n Article content<\/p>\n Advertisement 3<\/p>\n This advertisement has not loaded yet, but your article continues below.<\/p>\n Article content<\/p>\n Many noted her \u201creputation of being rude,\u201d with one person adding, \u201cSo the rumours are true.\u201d<\/p>\n Others simply called Walliser a \u201csweetheart\u201d and a \u201cclass act.\u201d<\/p>\n Actress Holly Robinson Peete commented: \u201cYou\u2019re so kind! People always look forward to interfacing with you. Not everybody is super friendly though. Did she even say hello?\u201d<\/p>\n Walliser clears the air<\/p>\n Nearly a week later, Walliser addressed the criticism against the Hustlers star in an Instagram post<\/a>, claiming he took no offence to Lopez\u2019s apparent frostiness.<\/p>\n The Canadian began by saying he is always asked about the \u201cworst\u201d Glambot subjects and who was mean or rude to him before turning his attention to the singer.<\/p>\n \u201cThere was only one other person outside that conversation with J. Lo and that person was me.\u201d<\/p>\n He insisted: \u201cI didn\u2019t take it personally. It didn\u2019t feel rude in that moment. I think there\u2019s a couple things that added to the fuel of this idea,\u201d before going on to explain.<\/p>\n \u201cOne, she\u2019s just down to business. The carpet was closed. She\u2019s ready to go inside. She knew what she was gonna do. She got into the position. It\u2019s just unfortunate that the position was she was facing away from me.\u201d<\/p>\n Advertisement 4<\/p>\n This advertisement has not loaded yet, but your article continues below.<\/p>\n Article content<\/p>\n Walliser continued: \u201cSo, I am talking to her, she is looking away, but she\u2019s getting ready for the move. In the moment, I\u2019m not like, \u2018Hey, turn around and look.\u2019 I knew what she was doing.\u201d<\/p>\n He also posted Glambot videos of Nick Jonas\u00a0and Priyanka Chopra,\u00a0Heated Rivalry\u00a0star Hudson Williams, and Blackpink\u2019s Lisa.<\/p>\n Wallister went on to say how \u201cinsane\u201d red carpet events are, and that while celebrities are there to do a job, he pointed out that his Glambot feature is \u201ccompletely elective.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cNobody\u2019s forcing you to do these things,\u201d he detailed. \u201cIf you want to do it, you can. If you\u2019re in a bad attitude and don\u2019t want to do it, you don\u2019t have to do it.\u201d<\/p>\n Walliser added: \u201cAnyone who stops, I already liked you because you\u2019re taking the time to do my thing and this is generous of you.\u201d<\/p>\n RECOMMENDED VIDEO We apologize, but this video has failed to load.<\/p>\n Play Video<\/p>\n Read More<\/p>\n The highs and lows of Sunday’s Golden Globe Awards<\/p>\n <\/a> Jennifer Lopez makes a dig at Ben Affleck; admits she’s never felt truly loved<\/p>\n![\"US](\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/GettyImages-2255309596-e1768831285602.jpg\")
