Overview

• An investigation by The Cut relayed anonymous former employees’ accounts alleging Mandy Teefey used drugs at Wondermind’s office, including a claimed sighting of her snorting what was believed to be Ritalin.
• Teefey said the snorting allegation “absolutely” never happened, described accusers as disgruntled employees, and cited ADHD to explain having TV on in her office during work hours.
• Former staffers told The Cut that nurses regularly administered IV drips they believed included Benadryl and said Teefey appeared drowsy afterward; Teefey acknowledged receiving drips but disputed the broader claims.
• A police report cited by the coverage noted no evidence of trespass after an alleged office intruder incident linked by employees to Teefey’s behavior, even as a colleague backed her concern about a trespasser.
• The allegations arrive after Wondermind cut about 60% of its staff in May due to financial strain; co‑founder Selena Gomez has not publicly commented as one ex‑employee claimed she knew her mother was unfit to run the company.
