In late 2011, Snooki sued SRG Ventures, a licensing company she had signed with a year earlier to bring out Snooki-branded merchandise such as watches, shoes, lingerie, and school supplies, for breach of contract. She alleged the company had failed to adequately seek such licensing opportunities. The company countersued, alleging she and her manager had undermined its efforts by negotiating directly with manufacturers and delaying their decisions.{{cite news|last=Hyman|first=Vicki|title='Jersey Shore': Snooki countersued for $7 million by licensing company|url=http://www.nj.com/entertainment/celebrities/index.ssf/2011/12/jersey_shore_snooki_countersue.html#incart_hbx}}
