Rachel Ray on SXSW bloggers: 'I guess if they don't like good music, and they don't like good food, they don't have to go'

MTV | Read Full Story >

Attention bloggers, indie snobs and all forms of Internet naysayers: Rachael Ray does not have time for your hateration.

And that is a very good thing, especially considering the storm of controversy the TV host and “30 Minute Meals” mogul kicked up last month when she announced plans to throw a day party at the South by Southwest music festival in Austin, Texas. It seems the holier-than-thou music community didn’t take too kindly to her invading their most sacred of sacred cows (or maybe they just weren’t fans of EVOO), and they let her know about it through a series of snarky posts and general unpleasantness, the point of which seemed rather lost on the celebrity chef herself.

“I’m not aware about what blogs were saying about me,” Ray told MTV News on Tuesday (March 4). “To be honest, I have five dogs, so I’m aware of what I have to do for them when we get up in the morning. But I don’t see why we’d be out of place down there, when we’re just fans of music who decided to put on a show. I guess if they don’t like good music, and they don’t like good food, they don’t have to go.”
