LePera and Galvin Sue Weakland Over Company Funds After 1.5 Million-Follower Brand Fractures

Summary
LePera and Lauren Galvin have sued Jenna Weakland, accusing the former Holistic Psychologist collaborator of misusing company funds in the latest turn in a dispute around the self-help platform.
Weakland had already sued LePera and Galvin earlier this year, arguing her role was foundational to the business and that she was owed far more compensation than she received.
The conflict surfaced publicly after an anonymous August Instagram post claimed LePera had not written or voiced her social media content, and the account briefly went dark as followers questioned Weakland’s disappearance.
The legal fight hits a brand that grew from a small Instagram page in 2018 to 1.5 million followers within two years, turning LePera into a prominent self-help influencer with books and paid memberships.
