See: internships are a white thang — you wouldn’t understand…

An intern for KSTP-TV did not take well to being fired. She began hurling threats at an executive producer and kicked out the glass of a conference room door in an attempt to get at her, according to a criminal complaint filed Monday.

Jennifer Nicole Anato-Mensah, 21, a University of Minnesota student, was told about 7:15 p.m. Oct. 13 that things weren’t working out for her.

“This is a young girl who was not understanding concepts in a television newsroom,” said Danielle Prenevost, 33, executive producer of the station’s early evening newscasts. “I said, ‘I don’t think your level of college experience is enough for this job.’ ”

At that point, Prenevost said, Anato-Mensah “just lost it.” (…)

Several newsroom employees heard Anato-Mensah shouting, yelling obscenities and threatening Prenevost, saying, “You don’t know where I’m from. I’ll mess you up, b ——-.”
