Selena Gomez and Co-Founders Sued by Investors Over Wondermind Startup Allegations
Investors have filed a federal lawsuit against Selena Gomez, her mother Mandy Teefey, and former business partner Daniella Pierson over the mental health startup Wondermind, alleging fraud and misrepresentation. The plaintiffs claim they invested nearly $1.2 million based on promises of active involvement by Gomez, product development including a mobile app, and lucrative partnerships, which they say never materialized. The lawsuit also accuses the founders of concealing financial and operational difficulties while the company declined. Gomez and others have not publicly responded to the allegations.
