Selena Gomez Files to Dismiss Fraud Lawsuit, Lawyer Calls Accusations ‘Absurd’

Her lawyer called the allegations vague and meritless and said the singer never managed Wondermind, which investors say brought in $1.2 million.

  • On Wednesday, August 26, attorney Matthew Rosengart filed a motion to dismiss a fraud lawsuit against Selena Gomez regarding her mental health platform, Wondermind.
  • Wondermind SRS 44 LLC and Bespoke Wondermind LLC filed the lawsuit, alleging that Gomez, her mother Mandy Teefey, and Daniella Pierson defrauded investors of nearly $1.2 million.
  • Rosengart stated, "Although she invested in and holds a minority stake in the Company, Ms. Gomez never agreed to and did not manage the Company." Management was vested in Teefey and Pierson as co-CEOs.
  • Dismissing the allegations as "vague, generalised and contradictory," Rosengart is "exploring other avenues of relief for Ms. Gomez including sanctions against plaintiffs."
  • Crisis PR commentator Lauren Beeching notes that family business ventures often struggle with governance, cautioning that "A family relationship shouldn't be a company.
