Selena Gomez and Wondermind startup face lawsuit from investors

Pop star Selena Gomez and her mental health startup, Wondermind, are facing a lawsuit filed by five investors. The legal action, reported on August 14, 2026, alleges that the plaintiffs were misled regarding the company's financial status, business prospects, and the actual level of involvement by Gomez in the enterprise.

Founded in 2021, Wondermind was designed as a platform providing content and tools for daily mental health care.

The current legal proceedings represent a significant challenge for the startup, which had aimed to make mental health discussions more accessible to the public.
