Selena Gomez seeks to dismiss ‘absurd’ lawsuit over mental health startup
Earlier this month, Selena Gomez and her mother were accused of allegedly deceiving investors of their mental health startup Wondermind to continue funding the company.
Pop star Selena Gomez is seeking to have a fraud lawsuit dismissed against her, claiming the allegations against her are "absurd" and "frivolous." The lawsuit was filed by investors who claim Gomez, along with her mother Mandy Teefey and co-founder Daniella Pierson, failed to fulfill their duties to build and promote their mental health startup, Wondermind.
According to legal documents, Gomez's legal team argues that she did not manage the company, nor was she involved in the company's securities offerings, and therefore cannot be held liable for any wrongdoing. The lawsuit alleges that the defendants falsely represented Wondermind's infrastructure, leadership, and resources, and deceived investors about the company's funding and planned initiatives. The investors are seeking the rescission of their investments, damages, costs, and lawyers' fees.
