Former 'Real Housewives of New York' star Jill Zarin finds herself in a legal pickle after a pickleball company investor filed a lawsuit against her and her boyfriend, Gary Brody.
Noah Springer alleges he invested $500,000 in 2022 for a 25% stake in Pickle Pro Labs, LLC, a company developing a pickleball training machine called the Go-No-Go. According to court documents, Springer claims he was promised a $5,000 monthly salary while helping develop the innovative equipment.
"The lawsuit claims Zarin and Brody founded a new company called GNG Enterprises in May 2024 without Springer's knowledge, then began selling the Go-No-Go machine through this entity."
Springer contends the machine was "conceived, engineered, researched, funded, and developed by Pickle Pro Labs" using company resources, and that Zarin and Brody lacked authorization to sell it under their new business banner.
The investor has stopped receiving his promised monthly payments and is now seeking damages plus an injunction to prevent Zarin and Brody from diverting Pickle Pro's funds and business opportunities to GNG Enterprises.
Representatives for Zarin and Brody have not yet responded to requests for comment about the legal action, which adds another chapter to the reality star's post-'Housewives' business ventures.
