Selena Gomez, her mom Mandy Teefey, and co-founder Daniella Pierson are facing a major lawsuit from investors who claim they were scammed out of $1.2 million after bailing on mental health startup Wondermind — allegedly leaving employees unpaid, never building the app, and ignoring promises to promote it. The suit highlights Gomez’s failure to fulfill her role as head of marketing, while also hinting at personal tensions between Selena and Mandy that may have contributed to the collapse. Despite launching in 2022 with big ambitions, Wondermind’s site still features outdated content — and only Daniella has publicly denied the claims, vowing to prove her innocence. Meanwhile, Gomez remains one of the youngest self-made female billionaires thanks to Rare Beauty, making this legal drama all the more high-stakes.
