凯蒂·佩里正在要求85岁的老兵卡尔·韦斯特科特在2020年蒙特西托豪宅购房案中赔偿近500万美元的损失,要求赔偿因长期的法律斗争而损失的租金收入和维修费用。
Katy Perry is seeking nearly $5 million in damages from 85-year-old veteran Carl Westcott over a 2020 Montecito mansion purchase, claiming lost rental income and repair costs due to a prolonged legal battle.

Westcott, who is in hospice care with Huntington’s disease, had attempted to void the sale, alleging he lacked mental capacity due to pain medication and surgery.
一位法官在2023年作出有利于Perry的裁决, 肯定了销售的有效性, 但Perry随后提出反诉。
A judge ruled in Perry’s favor in 2023, affirming the sale’s validity, but Perry then filed a countersuit.

该案引起了公众的注意,批评者强调对一名即将退役的老兵寻求损害赔偿的道德关切,这与2018年前涉及一名在相关诉讼中死亡的年长修女的争端相同。
The case has drawn public scrutiny, with critics highlighting ethical concerns over pursuing damages from a dying veteran, echoing a prior 2018 dispute involving an elderly nun who died during related litigation.
