Intern Sex Scandals: The Mother Load

What do Clinton, Stanley, and Letterman have in common?
A sex scandal with an intern, of course.

I don't need to tell you, my little internees, that inter-office dating is a big no-no.
(We've discussed this once before.)
So, I'll assume that you know that inter-office "sexing" is an even bigger NO.
Actually, it's more like an ABSOLUTELY NOT.

Ooooh, it may seem like a good idea...your boss is hot. He/she is definitely flirting with you. You're imagining...WHOA! Enough.

Inter-office dating/sex often has extremely severe consequences. Don't believe me?

ALAS! The proof! (Is in the pudding. Eww.)
Alice's List of Intern Sex Scandals Throughout History

1. "Devil with the Blue Dress" - The Clinton/Lewinsky Scandal - The President of the United States and a White House intern. It was impeachment at first sight.


2. "Funny Honey" - Letterman/Hester Scandal - Late night talk show host, David Letterman, gets into quite a bit of trouble for having an affair with a former intern for his show. Jokes on him.
   
   
   



3. "Love Train, Love Train" - Stanely/Morrison/Watts Scandal - Tennessee Senator Paul Stanley and intern get hot and heavy, which, in turn, makes the intern's boyfriend pretty hot tempered. Can you say triangle.?


4. "Let's play a Love Game" - Adams/Breedlove Scandal - Portland, Ore. Mayor Sam Adams has sexual affairs with 17 year-old, male intern. "Oregon. We Love Dreamers."



5. "We're playing basketball" - Marbury/Intern Scandal - Oooh, the New York Knicks. From Ewing to Mason to Curry, they have quite the reputation for sex scandals. Enough said.

Interns. You're like a piece candy in an organic food store, a freshman entering high school, carbs when you're on a diet. Can you say, TEMPTATION ISLAND? And I don't mean that terrible TV show. (That goes for both males and females!)

Consequences. These are just 5 examples of news worthy mega-stars who have dipped their brush into the wrong color. Imagine the small business managers, CEOs, and other people involved in corporations who have made their interns grab more than just coffee. It's not just celebs, it's everywhere. Temptation is everywhere! Interns, beware! It seems like a nice fantasy, but it often leads to lawsuits and termination.

Remember the consequences, my little internees!

AND. Don't ever let anyone put your in an uncormfortable place. Is a boss crossing the line? Be direct, say no. Tell someone. This internship may be an opportunity for a job, but if a boss is being nasty, you probably don't want to work for him/her anyway.

AND REMEMBER INTERNS. Use common sense, remember your morals, and keep in mind this is your future at stake! Don't pull a Monicagate and be a good lil' internee.

Happy interning!

Love, Alice
