(Barefoot Contessa) Ina Garten has refused to meet a 6-year-old boy suffering from cancer

 


Ina Garten is cooking up some seriously bad karma along with her culinary creations.
Garten, known to many by her TV moniker 'Barefoot Contessa,' has refused to meet a 6-year-old
boy suffering from cancer, despite his multiple pleas.


The boy, Enzo, is suffering from acute lymphoblastic leukemia and reached out to Garten through the Make-A-Wish Foundation for the first time three years ago, asking for the celebrity chef to take time to cook with him.


His request fell upon deaf ears, however. Garten's rep told TMZ, "As much as [Garten] would like to, it's absolutely impossible for her to grant every request she receives."


The little boy, who specifically requested to meet Garten because he had watched her show while sick in bed, made a second request through Make-A-Wish, which was met with a "definite no."


Enzo, who asked his parents, "Why doesn't she want to meet me?" has chosen another wish, which the foundation has been able to grant -- the brave little boy is currently taking lessons to prepare for his new dream: to swim with dolphins.


Make-A-Wish issued a statement regarding Garten's refusal of Enzo's request, writing, "From time to time, planning for wishes doesn't turn out as originally envisioned, despite people's best intentions and efforts throughout the wish-granting process."


Watch Ina Garten make Bloody Marys.
