This one could get messy.

Jill Zarin is being sued by a former business partner over her pickleball company, with allegations that go well beyond a simple dispute.
According to a civil complaint filed in Florida, Noah Springer claims he invested $500,000 into the business, now known as Pickle Pro Labs, in exchange for a 25 percent stake. He says that investment came with trust that Zarin would act in the company's best interest.
Springer alleges that did not happen.
The lawsuit claims he was never reimbursed for expenses, stopped receiving agreed-upon monthly payments in 2024, and was ultimately cut out of the company's earnings. It also accuses Zarin and business partner Gary Brody of using company funds for personal expenses and redirecting business opportunities elsewhere.
One of the bigger sticking points centers on a separate venture. Springer alleges the pair launched another company tied to a pickleball product using resources connected to the original business, while excluding him from any profits.
He is now seeking legal relief, saying efforts to resolve things privately went nowhere.
Zarin's side has not publicly responded to the claims. It is worth noting these are allegations laid out in a complaint. The case will play out through the legal process.
Still, it is another headline moment for Zarin, who has remained in the public eye both on and off television.
Now, this one shifts from reality TV to the courtroom.
