According to PEOPLE.com, Noah Springer has filed a civil lawsuit against the “RHONY’ alum in the Palm Beach County Circuit Court on April 15. He was her business partner at Pickle Pro Labs. In the letter, he accuses her of violating their business agreement. His lawyer claimed that this was her way to oust him from the company.

Springer claims in the lawsuit that he had invested $500,000 in the pickleball company, then called Pickle Innovation Studios, back in 2022. The agreement stated that Springer should have received a 25% stake of the company for this investment.

Springer claims that he also “advanced business expenses and funds” to the company in 2024, which was renamed Pickle Pro Labs. The lawsuit also claims that Springer advanced funds while “providing labor and services” without being reimbursed despite expecting $5,000 per month. His payments from the firm stopped in May 2024.

Springer accuses Zarin, as well as another business partner Gary Brody in the civil complaint of using company funds “without authorization” and “abusing their position of trust” for personal expenses. The legal filing states that they also “diverted” funds invested by Springer to their personal benefit.

The allegations continue. Springer claims that Zarin and Brody founded a separate company called GNG Enterprises FL to sell a pickleball regulating device, Go-No Go. He believes, however, that the machine used “his knowledge, funds, resources, time, and money.”

Springer, he claims, has also been excluded from any profits generated through the machine, despite the fact that it uses intellectual property owned Pickle Pro Labs.

The complaint accuses Zarin, Brody and others of trying to “gain benefits personally from the use Pickle Pro Property” while denying [Springer] the benefits of commercialization and such transactions.

Tina Fey has taken a more reflective view of her time at “Saturday Night Live” and admits that not all jokes she helped to put on air have aged as well as she had hoped. The comedian admitted that she was “on wrong side” during certain moments of her tenure. She spoke at the 2026 “History Talks” edition.

Fey, despite this admission, pushed back against the idea that the show “SNL” has ever tried to steer an explicit political narrative. She insisted that the show’s influence has always come more from reflecting culture than controlling it.

Tina Fey Admits Some ‘SNL’ jokes crossed the line

MEGA

Fey takes a candid look at her early career in comedy, admitting not all jokes she made on “Saturday Night Live”, aged as she intended. She had spent years working as a writer and performer for the flagship U.S. edition of the show before she took over the hosting duties last month.

Fey recalled defining moments of that era at a recent HistoryTalks, including the return to the show after the September 11 attacks.

The comedian acknowledged that while she has no regrets over the time she spent on the long-running NBC show, some of her material was not up to par.

Fey said, “I was pretty dMB and not much better today, but there are jokes where I’m like ‘Oh yeah I was on that side’.”

Fey says ‘SNL” never tried to control politics

Fey also rebuffed the idea that Saturday Night Live ever sought to shape political narratives. She insisted the show’s strategy was much more measured behind-the-scenes.

Fey, who spoke at the event said that she was often fascinated to see how seriously audiences can take what is meant to be a comedy. She explained that this awareness was made especially clear when she worked with Seth Meyers, Amy Poehler and others on a series of sketches centered around Sarah Palin for a six-week period.

Fey described the team’s efforts to strike a balance of satire and accuracy.

Fey brought her trademark wit to the UK’s stage last month. She delivered a monologue for the British version “Saturday Night Live”, which leaned on the same self-awareness that defined her rise as an American comedian.

Fey thanked the audience for the opportunity and joked that she was “the youngest person” to ever host the show.

She then reintroduced her self to the audience in a playful way, saying “You might know me as a teacher from ‘Mean Girls’, or you might remember me from many years ago when I played Sarah Palin for ‘SNL U.S.’ Or you may feel that you recognize me as a lady from the TV show ‘Veep’. And that’s okay too! Let’s go for it!”

The show then delivered a more Fey-esque performance, including a sarcastic comment about how “nobody really knows” why an American was selected to host the premiere episode.

When “Bridgerton’s” Nicola Coughlan questioned her about why she thought she was chosen, “Veep’s” alumna responded, “How can I put it politely ?… none of you f*ckers would do this!”

The moment was not unnoticed. Fey didn’t hesitate when Michael Cera pointed it out.

She responded, “Yeah we can swear in this version,” pointing out the main difference between “SNL” in the U.S.A. and the UK.
