JTG MINI: Why is Selena Gomez being sued over her company 'Wondermind'?

Selena Gomez is being sued for fraud. Investors say the mental health startup she founded with her mum, Mandy Teefey, took their millions based on promises that never came true. Based on Selena's massive star power, the company valued at $200 million before it had made a single dollar. But besides a website, what did Wondermind actually DO? (not much, apparently.)This is Just The Gist (MINI!) of Wondermind: the Selena Gomez fraud lawsuit, co-founder Daniella Pierson who Anna Delvey'd her way onto the Forbes 30 Under 30 list, and the co-CEO mum who allegedly spent her days in the office sleeping and watching TV.We give you Just The Gist, but if you want more, there's Breakin' Nooz, JTG After Show AND Bonus eps!
