Selena Gomez, mom sued for allegedly duping investors as mental health company secretly crumbled

Selena Gomez, her mother Mandy Teefey, and co-founder Daniella Pierson are facing a federal lawsuit for allegedly defrauding investors in their mental health startup, Wondermind. The lawsuit claims the defendants misrepresented the company's financial health as it collapsed. Investors further allege that Gomez failed to use her global celebrity and social-media following for promotion. Additionally, claims suggest Gomez distanced herself from the company due to personal disputes with her mother while the business secretly crumbled last year.
