September 04, 2026 The Cut: Selena Gomez and Her Mother's Failed Start-Up
This week, we're covering the September 2025 article from The Cut:
⁠What Happened at Wondermind?⁠
Selena Gomez and her mother, Mandy Teefey, flipped their mental-health journeys into a buzzy start-up. It all fell apart.
By Angelina Chapin
"Wondermind was supposed to build a world of mental-health-related content — through a website, podcasts, TV shows, and films — and its mission was lofty: to “destigmatize” mental-health problems and “democratize” its care. [...} Something to the opposite effect seems to have played out at Wondermind. Out of 29 former and current employees, 14 agreed to speak with me, most on the condition of anonymity. According to dozens of conversations, the company’s grand mission and basic operations were tanked by Gomez’s and Teefey’s personal and family dysfunction, including the denial of Teefey’s instability."
This episode has everything you want: child stars, toxic mother/daughter relationships, polyamorous lesbians, one Sex and the City reference, and ashwagandha Cheetos.
