Katy Perry's Legal Battle Over 85-Year-Old Veteran's Home

Perry has been locked in a real estate legal battle with veteran Carl Westcott since 2020.
Sources close to the case reportedly said Perry was cross-examined for about an hour – and was dressed in what those inside the Los Angeles courtroom described as "pajamas" attire.
Perry has been locked in the bitter legal battle over 1-800-Flowers founder Carl Westcott's Montecito estate since 2020, when she struck a $15million deal to buy the 8.9-acre property from the ailing vet.
Westcott initially tried to back out of the deal, arguing he was on painkillers and not of sound mind when he signed the contract.
The singer's team took the senior citizen to court and in 2023 a judge ruled in Perry's favor, upholding the original contract. She took possession of the home in May 2024 and has countersued for $6million in damages.
Katy Perry Testifies Virtually in Real Estate Battle

Perry testified Bloom will be a part of her 'family for life' despite their recent breakup.
Perry has argued the prolonged legal battle has cost her millions in damages, including deferred maintenance, structural defects and loss of rental income.
Bloom was pulled into his ex-fiancée's court fight when it was revealed he allegedly paid for the property through an LLC, not the pop star.
Westcott's attorneys have argued because of this, Perry does not have a financial stake in the property, which she has pushed back on.
The singer insisted she and Bloom were "family for life" regardless of their relationship status.
Perry also claimed she would still benefit from the purchase of the Montecito mansion even if she did not allegedly disclose her post-breakup financial ties to the Lord of the Rings star.
Katy Perry Declares She's 'Seeking Justice'

Perry said seeking 'justice' was her reason for going to trial.
The former American Idol judge had another defiant moment during her testimony when a lawyer asked if she stood to gain money or anything else from taking her fight to trial.
Perry shot back, "Justice," and while she would not explicitly say whether or not she would benefit financially, she cryptically stated, "I stand to lose money if it doesn’t work in my favor."
Westcott has not been in court due to his health rapidly deteriorating as he has been diagnosed with Huntington's disease and is bedridden.
His son Chart previously told an outlet he was eager to hear Perry's testimony, which he said would "let me know that there's an actual human being in there” with any shred of “empathy and compassion left."
