The star is being sued over claims she failed to deliver on promises to leverage her global celebrity and social-media following to promote Wondermind, which collapsed last year.
Selena Gomez is being sued by investors in her mental health start-up Wondermind. The lawsuit alleges that Gomez and her team failed to deliver on promises to promote the company using her celebrity and social media presence.
According to Billboard, the lawsuit claims that Gomez, her mother Mandy Teefey, and former Wondermind executive Danielle Pierson duped five men into investing $1.2 million in the company in 2022. The investors say they discovered the alleged fraud after reading a critical article about Wondermind in The Cut last year.
Wondermind collapsed last year. The lawsuit was filed on Thursday, August 13.
