Investors have accused Selena Gomez and her mother, Mandy Teefey, of defrauding them out of £920,000 ($1.2million) in a federal lawsuit that claims the singer stepped back from their mental‑health startup Wondermind after her name helped secure funding.
Filed on 13 August in the United States District Court of Delaware, the case alleges Gomez was sold to backers as the driving force behind marketing but failed to carry out her contractual commitments once investors' money was raised.
