Investors sue Selena Gomez alleging fraud tied to her mental health startup
The plaintiffs say they invested nearly $1.2 million in the company, and are accusing Gomez of failing to build and market the startup.
Singer Selena Gomez and her mother are facing a lawsuit from investors over their mental health startup, Wondermind. The plaintiffs claim they invested nearly $1.2 million in the company, but Gomez allegedly defrauded them through securities fraud and breach of contract. According to the complaint, the startup failed to deliver on its promises and Gomez didn't market Wondermind despite earlier assurances.
The story broke in September 2025 after The Cut exposed the company's issues. The lawsuit alleges that investors were kept in the dark about Wondermind's problems until then. The complaint states that Gomez "purported to sign a contract obligating her to perform and then ignored it," and that partnerships, initiatives and the app never came to fruition.
The plaintiffs are seeking to recoup their investments and legal costs. Wondermind declined to comment on the allegations.
