US EditionKaty Perry Is Suing an 85-Year-Old Disabled and "Dying" War Veteran for $5 Million in a Bitter Lawsuit
Katy Perry seeks $4.72 million to cover lost rental income and repairs after a judge ruled the 2020 Montecito mansion sale valid amid ongoing legal disputes.
- On November 21, court documents show Katy Perry seeks $4,718,698.95 from Carl Westcott for damages related to rental income and repairs.
- In July 2020, Perry and Orlando Bloom purchased the Montecito home for $15,000,000, but Westcott soon sought to rescind, claiming incapacity after surgery.
- Westcott's legal team says Perry has paid $9,000,000 and still owes $6,000,000, but after repair deductions they say she should pay about $5,740,418.18.
- Court Westcott, son, says the case has strained family relations, while a family friend accused Perry of trying to extract funds from the family; PR strategist Abesi Manyando called the optics "terrible".
- The 2.5-acre Montecito estate includes eight bedrooms and 11 bathrooms, sits in a gated community with high-profile neighbours including Meghan Markle and Oprah Winfrey, and the years-long dispute began after the July 2020 purchase.
