Cole Walliser, the creative genius behind the Glambot, recently stirred up quite the buzz with some resurfaced emails from years past. In an Instagram video, he addressed criticism from potential client Yinka Animashaun, who was left feeling dismissed and unappreciated when Walliser communicated with her regarding her wedding plans. Walliser’s candid admission of his past missteps—a reflection of his overwhelmed solo operation in 2019—has drawn both support and skepticism from fans and peers alike.
During this whirlwind of commentary, he expressed regret over being labeled a racist, even sharing his background of being half Chinese, which adds layers to the dialogue about race and sensitivity in all business interactions. And while Walliser defended his earlier words as unintentional, one has to wonder: in today’s climate, can any email be deemed too casual for a potential client? The Glambot may be known for its glitzy red carpet magic, but this incident reminds us it’s not just about the glamorous moments—it’s about the genuine connections behind them.
As Walliser looks to learn from this experience, viewers will be eagerly awaiting how this might better their experience at future events he’s involved in. In a world where every response can be captured and criticized, will he adapt his strategies to ensure no one feels overlooked again? Or will he end up becoming the new protocol handbook for glitzy event etiquette?
