Mandy Teefey denies snorting drugs

Talking to The Cut, Mandy shared, "I started Wondermind because I wanted to help people with mental illness. It's unfortunate that a few disgruntled employees with an ax to grind can spread lies about me and distort the truth. Even more disappointing is that the media is willing to amplify their lies."

The 49-year-old was accused of snorting "a line of Ritalin" in her office, according to employees. Meanwhile, other employees alleged that Mandy had vitamin IV drips administered regularly by a "rotation of nurses," as another nurse would give her liquid Benadryl.
