Selena Gomez’s Attorney Fires Back at Wondermind Lawsuit: “Completely Meritless”

"We will vigorously defend these false allegations and indeed are filing a motion to dismiss the baseless claims against her," the singer-actress' attorney said in a statement to People.

Selena Gomez's attorney, Mathew S. Rosengart, has responded to a lawsuit accusing the singer-actress of defrauding investors in her mental health startup, Wondermind. According to Rosengart, the allegations are "completely meritless, both factually and legally."

The lawsuit, filed by two companies, Wondermind SRS 44 LLC and Bespoke Wondermind LLC, claims that Gomez, her mother Mandy Teefey, and Wondermind co-founder Daniella Pierson made false representations of the business to stakeholders, including a plan for Gomez to be "intimately involved" in the business's operations. The suit alleges damages of around $1.2 million.

Gomez's legal team plans to vigorously defend against the allegations and is filing a motion to dismiss the claims. According to The Hollywood Reporter, Rosengart stated that they will defend against the "false allegations."
