The suit also alleges that investors only became aware of Wondermind's problems when The Cut magazine published a report in September 2025 that described the company in a "state of total disarray." The American magazine also pointed out that employees were not receiving salaries, that the company was facing difficulties in fulfilling agreements with suppliers and that Selena's mother was dealing with problems related to drug abuse. At the time, Mandy refuted the allegations: "it is regrettable that some disgruntled employees, with personal grievances, spread lies about me and distort the truth. Even more disappointing is that the media is willing to amplify these lies." According to the lawsuit, the singer initially demonstrated a high degree of involvement with the company, but did not fulfill the expected obligations after the investments. The accusations, however, have not yet been proven in court.
