Katy Perry was brutally slammed by disabled veteran's family before he was ordered to pay $1.8 million to singer

The family of the disabled veteran who's been locked in a legal battle with Katy Perry hit out at the singer earlier this year, savagely calling her a 'witch'.

For those not up to speed, it was announced this week that the 'California Gurls' singer, 41, has been awarded $1.8 million in damages by a judge following her legal battle with Carl Westcott.

In 2022, the pop star bought her eight-bedroom $15 million Montecito mansion with her ex Orlando Bloom from Westcott, aged 85.

However, just after the papers were signed, Westcott attempted to back out of the deal, claiming he was incapacitated at the time he signed the paperwork due to painkillers.

As reported by PEOPLE, Westcott, who was diagnosed with Huntington’s Disease in 2015, wanted to revoke the sale and filed a lawsuit against Perry's business manager, Bernie Gudvi.

However, a judge ruled in favour of Perry last year and said that there was no 'persuasive evidence that Westcott lacked capacity to enter into a real estate contract' and that he appeared to be 'coherent, engaged, lucid and rational'.

And now as we say, the latest court documents obtained by the publication show that the 'Roar' singer is owed a whopping $1,842,142.84.

While it looks like the Westcott family are yet to speak out on the latest development, they did issue a statement to the New York Post after Perry gave her testimony via video at a court hearing back in August.

During her virtual testimony, it was claimed that Bloom allegedly paid the money for the mansion through an LLC and not Perry. However, Westcott’s attorneys claimed that this proved Perry didn’t have a financial stake in the home.

As per the publication, Perry argued that she did benefit from the purchase but allegedly didn't clarify if she and Bloom were still financial partners.

When asked if she had enough cash on hand to purchase the mansion, she said: "I could have, but I wanted to do a mortgage instead."

Outside the court in August, Westcott's son Court slammed her answers as 'a bit calculated and ingratiating'.

He said: "But I wasn’t surprised by that as well. I expected that. Just disingenuous.

"I’m feeling really good about where we stand. It’s truly a blessing to be able to defend my father, who has been unable to defend himself while he’s now on his deathbed. You know, this has been a five-year, horrible, horrible experience for my family and for my father."

Speaking of Perry, he added: "Bottom line, just because you can carry a tune doesn’t mean you deserve the applause."

Westcott's other son, Chart, also told the NYP in that he thought Perry seemed 'sort of rehearsed, like a robot'.

He accused her of showing 'a pattern of disrespect' and claimed she was wearing pyjamas for the virtual hearting.

He told the publication: "Then she appears in pyjamas before the judge. So, you know, just disrespectful. 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."
