Selena Gomez is hitting back hard against claims that she was involved in fraud at the mental health startup Wondermind, saying she had nothing to do with the situation and calling the lawsuit “egregiously improper and legally deficient.”
Gomez’s lawyers filed a motion on Wednesday (Aug. 26), obtained by Billboard, to dismiss the pop star and actress from a lawsuit brought two weeks ago by five Wondermind investors. These investors allege they were duped into investing $1.2 million in the struggling company led by Gomez’s mother, Mandy Teefey.
