Who is Yinka Animashaun? Inside her three multicultural weddings amid the leaked email drama with ‘Glambot Guy’ Cole Walliser
Cole Walliser – the filmmaker behind Hollywood’s viral Glambot slow-motion red carpet moments – is facing a sudden and ruthless online backlash. What began as a seemingly awkward Golden Globes interaction with Jennifer Lopez has now exploded into a full-blown controversy involving alleged leaked emails, wedding booking claims, and a woman whose name is now everywhere: Yinka Animashaun.
Over the past 24 hours, social media has turned into a courtroom with fans are dissecting every clip, every screenshot, and every old post tied to Walliser – and the drama shows no signs of slowing down.

Golden Globes moment sparks Cole Walliser backlash
The chaos first ignited when a TikTok clip from the Golden Globes went viral. In the video, Jennifer Lopez is seen stepping into the Glambot setup. Cole Walliser enthusiastically directs her poses and hypes her up afterward – but viewers felt JLo appeared to ignore him completely during the exchange.
What might’ve been brushed off as an awkward celebrity moment quickly snowballed. Comment sections filled with accusations that Lopez had “snubbed” Walliser, triggering wider conversations about his behavior behind the scenes and how he treats clients.
Alleged leaked emails with Yinka Animashaun go viral
The controversy took a darker turn when discussions resurfaced about past attempts to book the Glambot team for private weddings. That’s when Yinka Animashaun entered the spotlight.
Yinka shared what she claims are email exchanges between herself and Cole Walliser from 2019, when she tried to hire the Glambot for her wedding. The screenshots immediately went viral, painting a deeply unflattering picture of the filmmaker’s alleged tone.

In one email, Cole allegedly wrote: “Thanks for reaching out! Just so you are aware, the GlamBOT is a camera system and personnel used by a network television station for one of the year’s biggest red carpets. It is not cheap. If you feel like something like this might be within your budget range, then I am happy to discuss further,”
Yinka replied: “Yeah, I just assumed it was very pricy since it’s featured at the Oscars,”
Cole then allegedly shot back: “I don’t see how you could be since I didn’t say how much it was and could be between $10,000 and $1,000,000.”
According to the viral thread, once the final pricing was revealed, Cole allegedly questioned whether Yinka could even afford it. The exchange instantly lit up social media, with many calling the tone dismissive, elitist, and unnecessarily rude.
As of now, Cole Walliser has not publicly addressed the allegations. His recent videos are flooded with comments demanding a response and accountability.
Who is Yinka Animashaun?
As the alleged email drama dominates timelines, many are now asking: who exactly is Yinka Animashaun?
Yinka is Nigerian and married to Nitin Sikka, who is Indian. Their wedding story went viral years ago for its stunning multicultural fusion and triple-ceremony celebration.
According to one user on X (formerly Twitter): “He is dealing with a woman whose name is (Ola)Yinka Animashaun. First name means “Wealth Surrounds me” and last name means “The one that has and is not stingy with it”.
The couple hosted their elaborate multicultural wedding in Dallas, featuring three separate ceremonies in one day – a detail now resurfacing alongside the Glambot controversy.
