Selena Gomez accused of fraud by investors over mental health startup

Investors are accusing Selena Gomez and her mother Mandy Teefey of fraud for their role in the collapse of Selena Gomez's mental health startup, Wondermind. According to legal documents obtained by Global News, the founders allegedly misled investors about the company's infrastructure, leadership, and resources, as well as its financial performance and future plans.

The lawsuit claims that Gomez and Teefey failed to properly fund and promote the startup, and that they misrepresented their involvement and the company's status to investors. The investors allege that they put $1.2 million into Wondermind, and that they are now seeking damages, rescission of their investments, and other legal remedies.
