Katy Perry Wins Lawsuit Against Disabled Veteran
Katy Perry, a famous singer, bought a big house from a 85-year-old disabled veteran named Carl Westcott in 2020.
But soon after, Westcott said he didn't want to sell the house because he was on painkillers when he signed the papers.
This led to a big legal fight.
Recently, a judge decided in Perry's favor and awarded her $1.8 million.
The judge also said that Perry's business manager had already paid $9 million to Westcott and kept $6 million, from which $1.8 million will be taken out.
The house is very big, with eight bedrooms and eleven bathrooms, and is in a fancy neighborhood where other celebrities like Oprah Winfrey live.
Perry is known for her popular songs like 'California Gurls' and 'Firework'.
Katy Perry sued Carl Westcott over a $15 million property purchase.
The court ruled in Perry's favor, awarding her $1.8 million in damages.
Westcott claimed he was incapacitated by painkillers when he signed the sale papers.
The property is an eight-bedroom, 11-bathroom home in an upscale community.
Perry's business manager had already paid $9 million to Westcott, keeping $6 million.
