Katy Perry is no stranger to being greedy concerning things that she wants. In 2018, a Nun from a former convent that the singer was trying to purchase had fatally collapsed in court during the proceedings. Yes, you read that correctly; Katy Perry may’ve technically killed a nun. However, despite that incident, the ‘Roar’ singer continues to boast about her inability to understand empathy concerning the land she wants to purchase. Now, she’s asking for $6 million in back rent and damages from an 85-year-old military veteran with Huntington’s disease.
Most recently, Perry, 40, and her husband, Orlando Bloom, 48, won a court battle for the Southern Californian mansion against veteran Carl Wescott. At the time of the sale, he was under various medications and was impaired by surgery and declared that he was not in the right headspace to enter a contract of $14.2 million. Considering his condition, he realized he no longer wanted to sell his home, which apparently forced the singer’s hand, resulting in the lawsuit. However, the lawsuit was settled in March 2024, when the keys were officially exchanged with the celebrity couple.
Now, Katy Perry has returned to the Wescott family to ask for $6 million in back rent and damages. The veteran’s son, Chart Wescott, stated that the singer’s lawsuit was shocking and chalked it up to entitled behavior,
“She can cause damage in other people’s lives. There’s no real explanation other than greed. This is such a small deal to be worried about – I think its a matter of privilege – her lawyers and her business manager are dealing with it. The last hearing we had, the judge has said she must testify.”
Carl Wescott has been bedridden for nearly 18 months, and his family deserves to keep the legacy of his home. However, the singer and her husband seem to really need all the land they can get their hands on, no matter who gets hurt in the process. Perry’s lawsuit has even tried to spin the case in favor of her,
“The ulterior motive of the subpoena to Mr Bloom is self-evident: Westcott wants to continue turning the case into a media circus, either out of personal animus toward Ms Hudson and her family, or in a misguided effort to leverage an unfair settlement.”
These lawsuits tend to take a lot of time, so I’m genuinely curious to hear Katy and Orlando’s thoughts and whether they ever plan to speak publicly on the subject.
