Selena Gomez caught in the financial scandal?

The renowned singer Selena Gomez faces intensive online criticism after some reports claimed that her startup for mental health had to fight financially and she therefore does not pay the salary of the staff and has reduced its advantages.

The financial problems of Wondermind unveiled

In a recent report by Forbes, it was claimed that Wondermind, a startup for mental health, which is founded by Selena Gomez, is fighting for serious financial problems. According to the reports, the company was unable to pay its employees in time and even reduced its health benefits.

Selena's mother and Wondermind CEO from Wondermind, Mandy Teefey, told the employees that she had to take on a loan against her house in order to take up the startup's debt. However, a source later told people that this claim was wrong.

While a missed salary check was paid, another is still pending, said Forbes.

Company says that the crisis is “fixed”

In response to the claims, a Wondermind spokesman admitted that the company is going through “growing pain”. In an explanation to Forbes, they said: “How many startups Wondermind has worked through his own challenges. In the coming days we will go into a new chapter and continue our important work in mental fitness.”

Public outrage over Selena Gomez silence

The report has triggered a wave of criticism against Selena Gomez, especially on social media. Known as one of the richest entertainers in the world, her estimated net asset is between 700 million and 1.3 billion US dollars.

In view of their financial status, many fans asked why the company could not pay its employees. A Reddit user commented on: “Milliardaires again billioning”, while another has been added: “It is ridiculous that Selena founded this company and cannot even bother to meet or pay for her employees.”

Fans question Selena's commitment

Critics also pointed out Selena's obvious lack of participation in the business. In a comment on Reddit, she read: “If she has invested this in the charity, you should simply finance it. If she doesn't do it, give the employees the attention and wrap them up. Not paying is unacceptable.”

Selena Gomez has currently not completed a public explanation that deals with the allegations.
