A lawsuit has been filed in the Delaware Federal Court targeting singer Selena Gomez and her mother, Mandy Teefey, over alleged financial misrepresentation. Investors in the mental health startup "Wondermind" claim they were misled regarding the company’s operational capability and financial health, resulting in $1.2 million in misallocated investment capital.
According to the complaint, the plaintiffs contributed funds based on assurances that the startup possessed a fully developed infrastructure and was positioned to launch a unique digital wellness service. However, the suit alleges that Gomez failed to fulfill her promotional commitments, the core application was never launched, and the company's severe financial strain was concealed for several years.
The true operational condition of "Wondermind" came to light following investigative media reports detailing management instability and internal setbacks that disrupted corporate operations. Consequently, the aggrieved investment entities are seeking legal recourse and financial restitution through the court.
Originally conceived as an empathetic platform to support individuals struggling with mental health challenges, the project now faces severe legal scrutiny. Although Gomez’s primary wealth stems from her cosmetics enterprise, this high-profile lawsuit presents a significant reputational and legal challenge to her business ventures.
Detroit High School Students Eligible for Up to $1,000 for Perfect Attendance
23 Aug. 18:09High school students in Detroit, Michigan, who maintain consistent school attendance can earn up to $1,000 in electronic gift cards. According to Fox News, high schoolers receive a $100 digital gift card for every week of uninterrupted class attendance. Students can earn $400 across four weeks, with total incentives reaching up to $1,000 during the 10-week winter period.
The attendance incentive model demonstrated strong results between January and March 2026, when approximately 12,800 high school students—representing 84% of the district's high school population—qualified for the payments. Concurrently, chronic absenteeism dropped from 64% to 54%. Following this success, the program has been extended through the 2026–2027 academic year and expanded to include students in grades 6–8, who will receive $50 for each week of full attendance.
The school district allocated $13.9 million from its overall budget to combat unexcused absences. The program maintains strict criteria: a single unexcused absence during any given school week forfeits the student's eligibility for that week's reward.
