Investors sue Selena Gomez, alleging she failed to fulfil promises to build and promote her mental health start-up Wondermind Global.

Singer and actor Selena Gomez has been sued by investors who accuse her of fraud over the management and promotion of her mental health start-up, Wondermind Global.

The lawsuit, filed on Thursday in federal court in Delaware, claims the plaintiffs invested nearly $1.2 million in the company, which was launched in 2021 to help users improve their “mental fitness”.

The investors said they were told Gomez, who has more than 500 million followers on social media, would play an active role in building the company as its head of marketing.

They allege that Gomez and other company executives failed to fulfil promises, including developing a mobile app.

“Gomez purported ‌to ⁠sign a contract obligating her to perform and then ignored it,” the lawsuit said.

“There was no legitimate enterprise in the works, much less a lucrative one,” the plaintiffs added, alleging that the company failed to meet “even its most basic obligations, such as timely paying its employees and vendors.”

The investors said they did not become aware of the company’s financial and operational problems until an online news report detailed them in September 2025.

They are seeking to recover their investments and legal fees.

A representative for Gomez did not immediately respond to a request for comment. (Arise News)
