"In early September, The Cut published a lengthy expose on Teefey's alleged instability, reporting that the Wondermind CEO often holed up in the company's Los Angeles office, which employees said she turned into a drug den. Among the more lurid allegations coming from more than a half dozen former and current employees: Teefey often appeared intoxicated, was once seen snorting what appeared to be Ritalin and would be administered IV drips containing mysterious substances."
"Employees also blamed Teefey's questionable management style and her family dysfunction with Gomez for tanking the grand mission and basic operation of a company that the mother and daughter co-founded with a third person in 2022, The Cut reported. The company's aim was to create engaging and informative mental health-related content, including a website, podcasts, TV shows and films, that would destigmatize mental-health problems and democratize its care."
Selena Gomez married record producer Benny Blanco in a cliffside ceremony near Santa Barbara overlooking the Pacific Ocean, attended by celebrity friends. Her mother, Mandy Teefey, faced allegations from more than a half dozen former and current Wondermind employees of substance abuse and instability, including appearing intoxicated, snorting what appeared to be Ritalin, and receiving IV drips of mysterious substances. Employees accused Teefey of turning the company's Los Angeles office into a drug den and blamed her management and family dysfunction with Gomez for undermining the company's mission. Wondermind, co-founded by Gomez, Teefey and a third person in 2022, struggled with payroll and laid off 60% of staff.
