TMZ • • entertainment
Key Points:
- Jill Zarin, former "Real Housewives of New York" star, has filed a lawsuit against her former business partner Noah Springer, who previously sued her first regarding their pickleball company, Pickle Pro Labs (PPL).
- Zarin alleges that Springer, an investor with a 25% stake in PPL, has compromised the company's reputation by prematurely sharing confidential testing timelines and sensitive information with professional players and manufacturers.
- PPL provides testing and certification services for pickleball paddles and relies heavily on its reputation for independence, impartiality, and confidentiality, which Zarin claims Springer has threatened through his actions.
- Springer had sued Zarin last month, accusing her of excluding him from company earnings and selling PPL's testing device through a separate venture.
- Zarin's lawsuit seeks damages and an injunction to prevent Springer from further disclosing proprietary company information.
