Two companies have filed a lawsuit against Selena Gomez and her mother, Mandy Teefey, alleging that they were defrauded out of over $1.2 million in a mental health startup called Wondermind Global. The investors claim that the company was already struggling financially before their investment, and that Gomez and Teefey made false promises about the company's infrastructure, resources, and leadership.
The lawsuit also accuses a former business partner, Daniella Pierson, of making false representations about her business successes and the potential returns for investors. According to the lawsuit, investors only learned of the company's problems after a September 2025 exposé in The Cut detailed allegations of Teefey's substance abuse issues and Gomez's "abject dereliction of duties" to the company.
Teefey has denied the substance abuse allegations and claims that the company was in disarray due to disgruntled employees. She also blames Pierson for spreading false information when investors confronted her about the allegations. The lawsuit seeks damages for securities fraud and is seeking to recover their investments and additional damages.
