Selena Gomez sued for $1.2 million over mental health platform

Singer and actress Selena Gomez faces a legal battle as two investment firms sue for the return of over $1.2 million invested in Wondermind, a mental health platform she co-founded with her mother, Mandy Teefey, and Daniella Pierson.

The firms, Wondermind SRS 44 LLC and Bespoke Wondermind LLC, filed a lawsuit in Delaware federal court. They claim Gomez and Teefey misrepresented the company to secure funding. Investors allege broken promises, including nonexistent partnerships with Fidelity and J.P. Morgan, and an app that was never developed.

Gomez's legal team, led by attorney Mathew S. Rosengart, has called the accusations "completely unfounded." Rosengart stated that they are preparing a response and will file a motion to dismiss the claims, asserting they lack merit both factually and legally.

Investors also question Gomez's role as chief marketing officer and claim they were unaware of Wondermind's financial issues until 2025. The platform, founded in 2022, reportedly reduced its staff by 60% as of May 2025, according to Forbes. The dispute is set to proceed as Gomez's team seeks to have the accusations dismissed.

The accusations against Gomez for alleged fraud and other illicit acts are completely unfounded, both from a factual and legal standpoint.
