Last night, a Marc Jacobs intern who was responsible for running @MarcJacobsIntl went off on a rant on the company's twitter. On the last day on the job, the intern seemingly had a meltdown and went a little keyboard crazy bestowing bits of wisdom to potential new interns, tweeting, "Good luck! I pray for you all. If you get the job! I'm out of here. See ya! Don't want to be ya! Roberts a tyrant! Seriously! He is tough!" It's safe to say that the Robert being referred to here is Robert Duffy, Marc Jacob's CEO and business partner for 20 years. The tweets were deleted soon after.In reporting the issue, gadget blog Gizmodo remarks, "Being a fashion intern must be brutal." Naturally, commenters on the "techy" site make a couple of The Devil Wears Prada references. Having some internship experience myself, all I can say is that this industry is not for the faint of heart. Fashion is not at all like living in a Gossip Girl episode. To companies out there (even non-fashion ones), just be careful who to give your passwords to. Social media is a crazy, crazy place.
