Jennifer Lopez was seen showing kindness to a homeless man in Los Angeles while rocking an $80,000 handbag.

The "Maid In Manhattan" actress was recently slammed online for being "rude" to Glambot director Cole Walliser during her shoot at the Golden Globes.

The Glambot director has, however, since come to Jennifer Lopez's defense, clarifying their now-controversial red carpet moment.

Lopez was spotted in L.A. on Tuesday making a quiet gesture of kindness as she gifted money to a homeless man.

According to images obtained by Page Six, the "Jenny From The Block" singer was emerging from a business meeting in the heart of the city and was pictured heading to her waiting SUV when she was approached by a homeless man seeking assistance.

She was dressed to the detail in blue jeans, a white top, heels, and a brown blazer, while holding a nearly $80,000 Hermès Kelly crocodile handbag.

However, she walked past the man and headed straight to her awaiting Cadillac Escalade.

Still, the man didn't give up as he shouted that he would "tell everybody I seen you" just as she got into the vehicle.

He then went over to the front passenger side of the vehicle, where Lopez was seated, to plead his "love" for her.

Lopez eventually reached into her bag and grabbed some cash, rolled down her window, and gave the money to the man.

"Jennifer, I love you. Thank you, Jennifer," he said in appreciation, even blowing her a kiss.

The Singer Was Recently Accused Of Being 'Rude'

It comes after the "Let's Get Loud" singer sparked online criticism for what many say was her "rude" attitude toward Glambot director Cole Walliser during her shoot at the Golden Globes.

The director had earlier shared an Instagram video where she had her back turned to him, even while he was directing her on how to pose.

When he asked her if she had an idea of a move she wanted to do, she didn't reply and instead turned to show him what she wanted.

"Slayed it, as usual," he commented as she finished up.

"The Queen JLO!! She walked the carpet so close to it that (it might have technically been closed at that point), so I was happy she was able to quickly stop. No messing around — just wham, bam, thank you, GLAM!" Walliser captioned the post.

However, many social media users didn't share the same sentiment and took to the comment section to call her out for being "rude."

Cole Walliser Shut Down The 'Rude' Claims Against Jennifer Lopez

Walliser has since taken to Instagram to shut down claims Lopez was "rude" to him, explaining that she was only preparing for her Glambot moment.

"I didn't take it personally. It didn't feel rude in that moment," Walliser said in the video, but acknowledged that "a couple things added to the fuel of this idea."

"One, she's just down to business. The carpet was closed," the glambot director continued. "She's ready to go inside. She knew what she was gonna do. She got into the position."

Walliser went further to say it was "just unfortunate" that the "Hustlers" actress was "facing away" from him in the viral clip, but explained that it was probably due to the heat of the moment.

"So I am talking to her, she is looking away, but she's getting ready for the move," he said. "In the moment, I'm not like, 'Hey, turn around and look.' I knew what she was doing."

"I knew she was getting ready. I knew it was late. We were just getting through it. That moment didn't feel rude," Walliser added.

Meanwhile, Lopez also raised eyebrows after she and co-Ben Affleck's ex-wife Jennifer Garner didn't pose together at the Golden Globes even though there's "no drama" between them.

Reports earlier surfaced suggesting Affleck and Garner have been left "frustrated" as Lopez's presence seems to have taken a toll on their children because of the attention they get.

However, a source has since dispelled any suspicion of a feud between them, telling the Daily Mail that they are "friendly with each other."

"They get along, they are cool with each other, there are no issues," the insider said. "They don't want to drum up headlines by posing together at an awards show; that would be awkward. They don't want to create a fuss because it would be hard for the kids."

According to the source who spoke with the Daily Mail, Lopez and Garner tend to cross paths a lot.

They shared that both actresses see each other "often" as their respective children, Emme and Seraphina, are very close.

"I am pretty sure they see each other like once a week because of the kids, and they talk on the phone, they are co-parenting in a way, even though Lopez divorced Ben," the source stated.
