Fans have been rushing to defend Glambot director Cole Walliser after Jennifer Lopez appeared to give him the cold shoulder on the Golden Globes red carpet … but he’s coming to J Lo’s defense, saying it didn’t feel like she was being rude to him at all!

As a matter of fact, Cole says he doesn’t think anyone has been unkind to him on the red carpet. According to Cole, it’s the hectic environment of awards shows that can give off that appearance.

In an Instagram video, Cole explained … in the chaos, celebrities are being pulled in a million directions and swiftly ushered onto the next thing, sometimes leaving them with little time — or perhaps social battery — to exchange niceties.

He also noted going on the Glambot — a specific high-speed camera — is completely optional, so he’s just grateful to anyone who takes the time to stop by in the first place, because they don’t have to.

Cole said, “Everybody on the internet should just calm down. I’m not here to tell anybody how they should feel, but there was only one other person outside of J Lo who was in that conversation, and that person was me.”

But he’s still super appreciative to everybody who’s looking out for him.

He said, “I do want to thank all you guys for watching the content, for commenting, for having my back on things. I love all you guys.”

NFL officials did NOT blow the critical interception call during overtime of the Bills vs. Broncos game — it was called correctly, full stop — according to Dean Blandino, the league’s former head of officiating.

“The Cooks’ play I thought, ultimately, they got it right,” Blandino, FOX Sports rules analyst and former Vice President of Officiating (2013-2017) told TMZ Sports.

Dean explained why, saying … “Cooks’ is going to the ground. He’s gotta hold onto the ball when he lands. I thought the ball came loose immediately, McMillian ended up with it.”

Of course, Blandino’s referring to the 3-and-11 catch vs. interception play, one of the most pivotal moments in the entire game … with the Josh Allen deepball ending up in Ja’Quan McMillian‘s hands near the Broncos 36 yard line.

The play was ruled an interception … and instead of the Bills being in position to attempt a potential game-winning field goal, it was Broncos ball. They ultimately went down the field and kicked a FG of their own, advancing to the AFC Championship game, leaving many furious.

Blandino had a reminder for some of those fans who are critical of the refs — the job is difficult!
