Selena Gomez is hitting back against a lawsuit accusing her of fraud in connection with Wondermind Global, her mental health startup.
Mathew S. Rosengart, an attorney representing the “Only Murders in the Building” star, slammed the fraud and breach of contract lawsuit that was recently filed against Gomez and her former business partners in a statement shared with USA Today on Sunday.
Insurance fraud involves making false or exaggerated claims to an insurance provider.
- Hard Fraud: Someone deliberately causes a loss (e.g., setting fire to a warehouse or staging a car accident) specifically to collect a payout.
- Soft Fraud: More common and often viewed as “victimless” by the perpetrator. It involves exaggerating a legitimate claim, such as overstating the value of stolen items in a home burglary to cover the deductible.
