Katy Perry Engages in Lengthy Legal Battle over Acquisition of Montecito Mansion for Three Years

Katy Perry finds herself in another real estate controversy, years after her clash with nuns over a property in Los Feliz, California. This time, Perry and her fiancé, Orlando Bloom, are embroiled in a three-year legal battle over a mansion they purchased in Montecito, California, for $14.2 million in 2021. The Daily Mail recently revealed that 83-year-old Carl Westcott had moved into the home just two months prior to Perry and Bloom’s purchase. According to court documents obtained by The Post, Westcott claims that the contract for the sale of his home, signed on July 14, 2020, was done when he lacked the mental capacity to fully comprehend the consequences of the agreement. Westcott, a former US Army member who served in the 101st Airborne, bought the home on May 29, 2020, with the intention of living there for the rest of his life. However, due to his age, poor health resulting from Huntington’s disease, and a recent major surgery, his mental faculties were severely impaired at the time of the contract signing. Approximately a week after signing the contract, Westcott began to regain mental clarity as the effects of the surgery wore off. He promptly sent a letter to the real estate agency involved, expressing his desire not to sell the property. In response, Perry and Bloom wrote a letter expressing their love for the home and their willingness to offer more money than what Westcott had paid for the estate. However, Westcott explained that he had considered their offer but ultimately could not sell his home as he is in the final years of his life. Perry and Bloom’s lawyer informed Westcott that they were not willing to walk away from the sale and are obligated to proceed. The estate, boasting six bedrooms and 12 bathrooms spread over 7,100 square feet, will be the subject of a trial scheduled for later this month. The previous legal battle involving Perry and nuns, known as the Sisters of the Immaculate Heart of Mary, in Los Feliz serves as a reminiscent backdrop. In that case, Perry battled with the sisters over a property they had owned since 1972. Eventually, a judge ruled in Perry’s favor, granting her ownership of the property. Sadly, the feud took a tragic turn when Sister Catherine Rose Holzman, one of the nuns involved in the case, collapsed and passed away during a post-judgment hearing in 2018.
