Katy Perry has been slammed as “unforgivable” by the family of an elderly veteran who was slapped with a $6 million lawsuit by the singer.
Perry and her fiancé, Orlando Bloom, emerged victorious in 2023 in their legal battle over a lavish Montecito, Calif., mansion — which they bought for $14.2 million in 2021 and was previously owned by disabled veteran, Carl Westcott.
The “Roar” hitmaker, 40, sued the 85-year-old bed-bound veteran, who lives with a neurological disorder, for back rent and alleged damages.
Now, Westcott’s family has hit out at the “Lifetimes” singer for her “greedy” actions as they accused the Hollywood elite of “treating ordinary people like dirt.”
“She has no sense of fair play, no empathy, zero empathy, quite the opposite,” the veteran’s son, Chart Westcott, told The Sun.
“The worse the condition my father is in, the harsher they’ve been in trial,” Chart said of the pop star and her legal team.
The two parties have been locked in a legal feud since 2020, when Westcott signed a deal to sell his sprawling 8.9-acre property to Perry and Bloom during the pandemic.
However, he later claimed that his judgment had been impaired as a result of a slew of health issues he is battling, saying he was not in the right headspace to enter into the contract at the time.
As a result, Westcott was slapped with a lawsuit from the singer and her legal team. In December 2023, Perry and Bloom were declared the legal owners of the gated mansion following a four-year legal battle.
After getting the keys to the property in March 2024, Perry launched a large-scale lawsuit against Westcott through her team, claiming the disabled veteran owes her $6 million — a claim that his family is disputing.
“She can cause damage in other people’s lives,” Chart told the outlet. “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,” he added.
The Post has reached out reps for Perry and Bloom for comment.
Chart added that Perry and the “Pirates of the Caribbean” actor — who share daughter Daisy — have been “unforgivable” in the way they have “conducted their affairs,” adding that they have been “unreasonable from the start.”
“But it’s how the Hollywood elite system works — I’ve seen this up close — they treat ordinary people like dirt, it’s been a difficult time for the family,” Chart said.
Chart claims his father, who lives with Huntington’s disease, has “not talked about this damages case,” adding that he is in a “horrible condition” and has been bedridden for “well over 18 months.”
Despite Perry’s legal win, she is expected to testify at the upcoming damage phase of the trial, where the final chapter in this high-profile real estate saga will come to an end.
