Katy Perry Mansion Win: 84-Year-Old Vet's Family Won't Appeal Verdict After Judge Rules in Pop Star's Favor
The judge ruled in Katy Perry's favor.
Katy Perry's mansion victory against the 84-year-old veteran will remain just that. RadarOnline.com is told Carl Westcott's family won't appeal.
"They won't be appealing this tentative ruling," an insider close to the 1-800-Flowers founder said on Wednesday, just one day after a California judge ruled in Perry's favor.
Katy and her fiancé, Orlando Bloom, can now move into the bedridden veteran's $15 million home.
As this outlet reported, Perry and her fiancée, Orlando Bloom, can now take possession of the bedridden vet's $15 million Santa Barbara home.
“Westcott has not met his burden,” Judge Lipner said in his 32-page decision filed on Tuesday.
Westcott's son, Chart, said the judge's ruling "may follow the letter of the law, it shows that the law has no spirit."
"Katy Perry will now have to testify, in person, to receive her 'damages.' We look forward to her testimony, and to her being confronted with possible sanctions for perjury," Chart told RadarOnline.com exclusively.
Chart said the I Kissed a Girl singer "put herself in a box by claiming that she lost years of rental income and is owed damages, which is counter to her sworn statements about wanting to live in the house."
Westcott accused Katy's business agent of tricking him into selling his mansion while he was recovering from back surgery.
As RadarOnline.com reported, Westcott accused Perry and Bloom of stealing his mansion, with their business agent allegedly convincing him to sell the property in 2020 while he was on painkillers and recovering from a six-hour back surgery.
Once the medication wore off, the aging businessman changed his mind. When he approached Perry and Bloom's real estate agent about the mistake, he received a letter from their attorney revealing they were "not willing to walk away" and he was "obligated to complete the sale."
