Selena Gomez Fires Back at "Meritless" Wondermind Lawsuit
E! News · 2026-08-15
Selena Gomez and her mother, Mandy Teefey, are facing a lawsuit alleging they defrauded investors in their mental fitness company, Wondermind. Gomez's litigator, Mathew S. Rosengart, vehemently denied the allegations on August 15, stating they are "completely meritless, both factually and legally," and confirmed a motion to dismiss the "baseless claims" against her.
The lawsuit, obtained on August 13, names Gomez, Teefey, and Daniella Pierson as defendants. It claims that limited liability companies Wondermind SRS 44 and Bespoke Wondermind SPV invested nearly $1.2 million in Wondermind based on false representations, specifically that Gomez would be "intimately involved." The suit alleges Gomez "purported to sign a contract obligating her to perform and then ignored it," and that "The partnerships did not exist. The initiatives never materialized. The app was never built." The plaintiffs further contend that for three years, no founder, officer, or director informed investors about the company's quiet collapse.
