LAWSUIT CLAIM: The “Go-No-Go” Pickleball Machine Was Created With Funds From Investor Cut Out Of Apparent Success.
BOCA RATON, FL (BocaNewsNow.com) (Copyright © 2026 MetroDesk Media, LLC) — A minority investor in a Boca Raton-based pickleball technology company has filed suit in Palm Beach County Circuit Court against reality television personality Jill Zarin, her co-manager Gary Brody, and a company they allegedly created to divert the business’s assets. The plaintiff, Noah Springer, holds a 25 percent ownership stake in Pickle Pro Labs, LLC — a Delaware limited liability company with a principal address at 3811 Coventry Lane in Boca Raton — and claims he invested $500,000 into the venture. The complaint, filed April 15, 2026 by Miami-based DarrowEverett LLP, alleges that Zarin and Brody stopped paying Springer his agreed-upon $5,000-per-month fee as of May 2024 and have since refused to reimburse him for business expenses and labor.
At the heart of the lawsuit reviewed by BocaNewsNow.com is a device called the “Go-No-Go” machine, which the complaint says was conceived, engineered, funded, and developed by Pickle Pro Labs using company resources and Springer’s contributions. According to the filing, Zarin and Brody quietly registered a new Florida company — GNG Enterprises FL, LLC — in May 2025 and have been using it to market, sell, license, and manufacture the machine without authorization from Pickle Pro or disclosure to its remaining members. The suit alleges Springer only discovered what was happening after the defendants blocked and deleted his corporate email address, cutting him off from company accounts and communications.
Springer’s complaint lays out eight counts against the defendants, including breach of fiduciary duty, usurpation of corporate opportunity, misappropriation of funds and assets, conversion, and unjust enrichment. The filing also accuses Zarin and Brody of using Pickle Pro’s corporate funds to pay personal expenses — citing, as one example, approximately $700 per month in health insurance premiums billed to the company. Springer is seeking a court order enjoining the defendants from continuing to commercialize the machine through GNG, compelling a full accounting of all company transactions, and requiring disgorgement of any profits derived from the allegedly diverted intellectual property.
Zarin, best known as a cast member on “The Real Housewives of New York City,” has not yet responded to the lawsuit in court records. Read the complete lawsuit below.
