Katy Perry is asking for almost $5 million in a lawsuit against the disabled veteran who owned a $15 million Montecito, California home she purchased more than five years ago.

The 41-year-old singer bought the home from Carl Westcott in 2020 but within days the businessman who founded 1-800-Flowers tried to back out of the deal claiming he was incapacitated due to painkillers when he signed the paperwork.

His backtracking sparked a legal battle over the sale of the eight-bedroom, 11-bathroom home in the upscale community that counts Meghan Markle and Oprah Winfrey among its residents.

The judge ruled in Perry’s favor in May 2024, finding that Westcott was of sound mind and presented ‘no persuasive evidence that he lacked capacity to enter into a real estate contract.’

In court documents filed November 21, Perry says Westcott is accountable for lost money in rentals as well as for repairs she needed to make on the mansion, according to legal documents reviewed by Daily Mail.

The I Kissed a Girl songstress has asked the court to force Westcott to pay $4,718,698.95 to account for damages she says he caused with extended litigation over the real estate sale.

The Daily Mail has reached out to reps for Perry and Westcott for further comment on the story.

Westcott initially sued Perry’s business manager Bernie Gudvi the month after the sale went through.

Attorneys for the Roar artist, who bought the home with ex-boyfriend Orlando Bloom, 48, said that she is ‘entitled to $3,525,000 in rental value’ that she lost due to the extended legal battle with Westcott.

Westcott should also pay the Santa Barbara, California native a total of ‘$1,343,401.95 for necessary repairs for a total of $4,868,401.95,’ her attorney said in court documents.

Lawyers for Perry said that after deducting $149,703 for losses Westcott had suffered, the final sum came out to $4,718,698.95.

Attorneys for Westcott said that it’s actually Perry that owes money, in terms of the financials involved.

Perry owes Westcott $6 million of the $15 million she agreed to pay for the property, Westcott’s lawyers said.

Westcott’s attorney said in legal docs filed in Los Angeles on November 7 that Perry has only paid $9 million.

Westcott would agree to deduct repair costs to whittle the amount down to $5,740,418.18, his legal team said.

In August, Perry testified via a Zoom stream to Los Angeles Court about her purchase of the property, which is spread over 2.5 acres.

Perry was asked by Westcott lawyer Andrew J. Thomas if she was positioned to ‘gain money or anything else from the outcome of this litigation.’

The singer replied, ‘Yes … justice; I stand to lose money if it does not work in my favor.’

Perry has been romantically-linked with former Canada Prime Minister Justin Trudeau since her split with Bloom.

The California Gurls vocalist and the politician were first seen in late July dining at the Montreal restaurant Le Violon.
