Unpaid internship abroad Background Check Help

I participated in an unpaid internship abroad in SE asia last summer. The company was pretty shady and left on bad terms because of that. But, I put it on my resume b/c I'd look like a dick without a job during my junior summer.

I landed an FT offer and need to complete a background check. I honestly don't know if this will pass the employment background check. I have a feeling I won't be able to provide proof of that work experience because my boss will not vouch for me. I have proof of work product, bullet items on my resume, and a company email address.

Thoughts?

I'm freaking out.
