Why is Selena Gomez being sued?

Selena Gomez is being sued by five investors who claim she committed fraud in her mental health startup, Wondermind Global. The plaintiffs invested nearly $1.2 million US in the company, which was launched in 2021 with a pitch to help users strengthen their "mental fitness." They allege that Gomez failed to fulfill promises to be actively involved in building and promoting the company as head of marketing, and instead ignored her contractual obligations. The lawsuit claims that Wondermind Global failed to meet even its basic obligations, such as paying employees and vendors on time. Gomez, one of the most-followed people on social media with over 500 million followers, is accused of dereliction of duties in running the company, which has left it in a state of financial difficulty. The lawsuit seeks to recover the invested amount, plus costs and damages.
