Unpaid Intern Sues the Olsen Twins

A young woman is suing the Olsen twins--Mary-Kate and Ashley--claiming that when she interned for their fashion line, the grueling work that she and other interns performed for free was essentially the same work performed by the company’s paid employees. So reports Gawker.

Her suit alleges that she received neither financial remuneration nor college credit when she worked for the Olsens’ fashion line, The Row, in 2012.
