Investors Sue Selena Gomez Over Alleged Fraud in Mental Health Startup WondermindPreviousNext

Investors have sued Selena Gomez and co-founders of her mental health startup Wondermind, alleging fraud and misrepresentation. The lawsuit claims the company, launched in 2021 to promote mental fitness, failed to develop promised products like a mobile app and concealed financial troubles. Gomez, serving as head of marketing, is accused of neglecting contractual duties. Investors seek to recover nearly $1.2 million invested, citing lack of transparency and unmet commitments. Gomez and other founders have not publicly responded to the allegations.
