Selena Gomez sued for alleged fraud over mental health company
Investors say the actor and singer did not take an "active role" in the company as promised.
Five investors are suing Selena Gomez for fraud over her mental health company Wondermind Global, alleging the actress failed to deliver on promises to build the brand and left the company in financial ruin. The lawsuit, filed by shareholders from New York and Florida, seeks to recover around $1.2 million along with legal costs and damages.
The case claims that Gomez and her co-founders falsely represented the company's status, promising investors active marketing efforts and a fully operational app, when in reality, these initiatives never materialized. The suit alleges that Wondermind's founders neglected their duties, including timely payments to employees and vendors, while investors remained unaware of the company's struggles until a September 2025 investigative report by The Cut.
Despite rising to fame as a child actress and later becoming a global pop star with over 500 million social media followers, Gomez is now facing allegations of misconduct and negligence in the management of her company.
