TIM U ARE A MAJOR LOSER!!! WHEN U ARE PRIVILEGED LIKE INA IS IN THIS LIFE, U BETTER DAMN WELL MAKE TIME FOR A SICK CHILD OR ADULT!!! U MUST BE THE SAME TYPE OF PERSON AS SHE IS WITH YOUR NOSE UP IN THE AIR AND UR HEAD FURTHER UP UR A** GET SOME HELP!!! AND I REALLY HOPE U NEVER HAVE TO DEAL WITH A DISEASE SUCH AS THIS POOR CHILD IS DEALING WITH!!! (SICKO)

I would turn down a six year old and I would turn down a fifty year old. I do not agree that just because one is a celebrity, one has to put everything on hold. We are all dying, some sooner than others. Get over it.

"One tends to forget, that even though some one is in the spotlight, they do have a life and cannot fulfill requests to meet." But now that its affecting her MONEY she has the time to see him? Your reasoning is a pathetic as this self-absorbed, over-blown b@%ch. You should both be ashamed.

Mighty high and mighty there, Timmo.

Oh get over YOURself, Tim.
A meager request for sick child. Too much for a millionaire?
Enzo will have MUCH more fun with the dolphins! Enjoy, kid!

Cmon now i was also a big fan of Ina's but this incedent just shows how self centered she is. It was such an unusual request for the child asking to see her. Imagine the PR she would have gotten if she did see this child?? She lost a fan here among others who used to watch her show.....

I agree with you Tim. We don't know Ina personally and we have no clue what her reasons were for not meeting with this boy. I am a big fan of Ina's work and I will continue to watch.

Sorry, I don't buy it. She has plenty of time for PR and other ways to promote her business. This would have been some very meaningful PR, even if she didn't do it for the child. Stupid and shameful move. I am with most others here. I always found her show to be annoying anyway because she is so elitist. I will stick with some of the folks who are real.

Oh Please! DO NOT make excuses for her! Ultimately, when it appeared it was going to affect her business she suddenly finds time? You can never be too busy to help someone in need, especially a sick child. Shame on her and anyone who defends her.

I agree Tim, I'm sure Ina gets thousands and thousands of requests each year and all of them probably are as sad as this little boy...She CAN NOT meet all these request so someone has to be turned down. I think people are reading WAY to much into this and the media is jumping on it in a negative way to sell the story....

tim you are an idiot

Really Tim? I wonder...how many requests does Ina get from terminally ill children that she just CAN'T fit them into her busy Hamptons life? I understand her not showing up to every garden tea party in America just because she's received a request for an appearance but c'mon, a 6 year olds Make A Wish request?

Tim, I agree with you. There's something fishy in this story, and I see blame with both Enzo's family and the Make-A-Wish Foundation too. If you really know how MaW should work, this public a mess wouldn't happen. So then I wonder, why would Enzo's family make such a big public deal out of this? I know kids who did not get their first choice of wish, for lots of legitimate reasons, and their families did not go to the press. The psychic drama about this kid did NOT have to happen unless there were emotions spinning out of control. No matter how fearful or sad the parents are, they let this story get ugly, and I wish them the grace to move on quietly from here to pay attention to their child more fully.

I agree with you, Tim. Celebrities cannot fulfill EVERY SINGLE request they get to meet with fans, and yes, they do get a lot. Although this boy went through Make a Wish, hundreds of people say they are dying and would like to meet their favorite celebrity. No, they just cannot fulfill every request they get. If they did, they would have no time to do anything else. It just so happens that this particular kid got press, but celebrities turn down these requests ALL THE TIME. Not just Ina and not just now.

What! Martha Stewart made the time For a little girl and she is much more than Ina has-been or ever will be. This woman lost me as well.

Good forbid you have have to deal with a terminal ill child who only wishes to meet someone, who sorry, is not that famous, just a lousy tv chef...cant spare a minute to meet with him? You are just a pathetic as that piece of crap Ina. Loser.

I guess you do not have children or like children !
Because if you did you could never make such a stupid remark. I believe every child counts in this world, and they have feelings to. They need to be heard and respected just like everyone else on this planet. It is more impotant to give than to recieve. I live my life by that, and I am a happier person for believing in it. Try to do something nice for someone else today, you might be happier to.

I can't even believe Tim can justify what Ina did. Words can't even do justice to the travesty this woman created. No one should support this woman and if Food Network ignores this then they should be ashamed also

Tim your joking right? There is no way you could be seriously making that dumb of an excuse for her? They asked twice to meet at her avalibility and she refused. It would be an hour or 2 out of her life for a child who's life is ending before they even got to live it and you excuse that? Her fans and people supporting her made her and pay her bills and now one dying child fan just wanted to see her once before he dies and she can't give up time? Not money, not promote, he just wanted her time to meet her and thank her as a fan.
I hope she rots in hell and she looses her show and her product line. This pig lady obviously needs to have her high horse taken away and be reintroduced to reality without the cushy money these fans who she treats as irrelvqant have given her over the years.

The Selfish Train is leaving, ALL ABOARD you selfish twit.
