    Selena Gomez's Mental Health Startup Wondermind Faces Fraud Lawsuit

    Five investors are suing Selena Gomez, her mother Mandy Teefey, and former business partner Daniella Pierson over their mental health startup Wondermind. The investors allege they were misled about the company's prospects and Gomez's involvement, expecting her fame to boost the company. They invested $1.2 million in 2022 but claim the company silently crumbled, and none of its founders spoke to them for three years. The lawsuit includes charges of securities fraud, common law fraud, and breach of contract. Pierson denies the allegations.
