She is an idiot. A non paid internship in order to get her foot in the door and she ruined even that. Suck it up, do the best job ever and other doors will open. Instead she complains, makes the news, and proves why no one should ever hire her. Entitlement attitude!
If someone hires her, in 5 years she will be suing them for discrimination. I didn’t have a staff or interns to do my job for me or I wasn’t VP of diversity entitlement office ......
What an idiot!
Oh, I agree! The "Diane von Furstenberg" brand has name recognition even to me. And I'm about as oblivious to fashion as anyone. Yes, "I did an internship for Diane von Furstenberg but I quit because the work was too hard and they kept telling me to do things I didn't want to do" is going to land her a good job. Well, maybe if she wants to go to work for the government it will land her a good job.
"She often worked 9 a.m. to 9 p.m., five days a week. “They had me running out to buy them lunch,” she said. “They had me cleaning out the closets, emptying out the past season’s items.”"
Seriously? She was running errands and cleaning closets for 12 hours every day? I doubt it. (If she did, she has the skills and stamina to make a small fortune with a housekeeping service, they sure don't come cheap.)

Yeah. How dare someone get upset for working and not being paid for it! If she would just keep her mouth shut, doors will open to other non-paying jobs.
I agree with you. Her name would be on my list of people who would create trouble if ever hired or even interviewed.
If I was a manager thinking of hiring, I would subject interns to exactly this. Find out which interns have a "prima donna" attitude and which are eager to work and make a good impression. After a few weeks, I would let the prima donnas go, and move the workers to doing more interesting things.
