Katy Perry Labeled A ‘Wicked Witch’ By Son Of Disabled Veteran

Katy Perry has been called out again by the family of an 85-year-old veteran with whom she has been embroiled in a legal battle over the sale of his Montecito home.

The pop star appeared in court via Zoom, where she stated that she wants “justice.” She also made several revelations about the deal, including the fact that her ex-fiancé, Orlando Bloom, is the original owner of the home.

Katy Perry’s remarks didn’t sit well with the veteran’s sons, who have since made scathing remarks about the singer’s “disingenuous” testimony.

The family of disabled war veteran Carl Westcott was not impressed by the remarks made by Katy Perry during her recent court appearance, where she claimed she wants “justice” amid their Montecito mansion dispute.

Reacting to the singer’s comments, Chart Westcott told the New York Post, “It was good for her to have the Wicked Witch finally come out of the West.”

In a phone conversation with the news outlet, Chart blasted Perry, claiming she has shown a “pattern of disrespect” since their legal feud began.

He further called out the singer’s virtual appearance, taking aim at her outfit during her testimony.

“Then she appears in pajamas before the judge. So, you know, just disrespectful,” Chart said. “I think [it’s] reflective of how she views everyone in the world. They are all, you know, less than her. They’re all not important to her. We’re all just her little playthings to do what she wants.

His brother, Court, also criticized Perry, stating that he found her to be “calculated and ingratiating” and her testimony to be “disingenuous.”

The “Roar” hitmaker purchased the Montecito property in July 2020 from Westcott, as she initially wanted to start a family with her then-fiancé, Orlando Bloom, there.

However, the ailing veteran tried to rescind the deal, claiming he was mentally incapacitated. But a judge ultimately sided with Perry, stating that Westcott was of sound mind while negotiating the agreement.

Perry then went on to sue Westcott again, seeking $6 million in damages, and claiming that $3 million would cover her loss of rental income.

Since then, they’ve been going back and forth with no amicable solution in sight.

Perry testified at the Los Angeles Superior Court on Tuesday in front of Judge Joseph Lipner. During the court session on Tuesday, Perry was cross-examined by Westcott’s lawyer, Andrew Thomas.

When he asked the singer if she had anything to gain from the outcome of her legal action against the disabled veteran, she said, “Yes, justice.”

The “California Gurls” hitmaker then further explained that she stands to lose a lot financially depending on the outcome of the litigation, highlighting “lawyers’ fees” and “income” from rentals.

At some point during her testimony, Perry seemed to forget the number of homes she owned after being questioned by Westcott’s lawyer about her real estate portfolio before she “entered a contract” to purchase the veteran’s home.

According to reports, she said, “Three houses, I don’t recall if it’s three – there might be more.”

When she was asked to clarify, Perry stated, “I owned, now that I counted it, I owned three houses to house my family… in Santa Barbara county.”

Perry added that her business manager, Bernie Gudvi, had signed the deal to buy Westcott’s home, but she was aware of everything, as she had seen and “liked” the property before making an offer.

Previous reports had seemingly implied that Perry was the owner and actual buyer of the property, but new court revelations suggest it actually belongs to her ex-fiancé, Orlando Bloom.

Westcott’s lawyer, Thomas, pressed Perry about the acquisition of the property, asking if the “title was entered up in the name of a company called D Dove B LLC,” to which the singer replied, “Yes, sir.”

“And Bernie Gudvi testified this is the case. Is it true that D Dove B LLC is Orlando Bloom’s company?” Thomas continued, to which Perry responded, “It is one of his LLCs.”

The lawyer then asked, “So when title to the house was transferred as a result of this lawsuit, it never went to you or any entity that you control, isn’t that true?” Perry confirmed, “Yes, sir.”

The former couple had previously decided to settle down and start a family in their home. However, following their recent breakup, that dream has become a thing of the past, with Bloom recently purchasing a “bachelor pad” in Miami.

Chart also spoke with The U.S. Sun, slamming how Perry claims to want “justice” but has been pursuing the case for the last five years despite his father’s ill health.

“Katy talks about seeking ‘justice’, but for five years my family has endured a painful legal battle while our father, a mentally disabled 85-year-old Army veteran, is in declining health,” Chart, who’s based in Puerto Rico, said.

He then pointed out that the “real buyer” of the home was Bloom, and that Perry already has multiple houses in Montecito and “extraordinary wealth.”

“She could live anywhere in the world, but she chose to press forward in a way that has deeply hurt our family,” Chart said. “We wish there had been more empathy, more humanity, and more understanding.”
