Katy Perry's business manager continues the mansion war against an 84-year-old bedridden veteran and his family.
The legal showdown started when the veteran named Carl Westcott filed a complaint saying that he sold his lavish mansion to Perry and Orlando Bloom for 15 million dollars "with an unsound mind." He wanted to get back the property as he wished to spend the rest of his life in the mansion.
The 84-year-old was diagnosed with Huntington's disease, causing him to be absent during the trial.
Lawyer Blasts Veteran's Family
RadarOnline.com reported that the representative for Perry's business manager, Bernie Gudvi, slammed Westcott's son on the stand during the ongoing trial and blasted him and his family for allegedly faking the veteran's condition.
The cross-examination happened on Wednesday, October 4, with Court Westcott giving his testimony to the court.
"Your family and you just created the whole hullabaloo about Huntington's for this trial, correct?" the lawyer for Perry and her business manager asked.
Court reportedly called it "disgusting" and tried to give his answer; the lawyer interjected and told him to "just say yes or no."
He responded and made it clear that he did not make up his father's ongoing health issues.
People revealed that the veteran was transferred to a mental health facility in Dallas, Tex., after a suicide attempt. The public then condemned both Perry and her husband for trying to kick the veteran out of his house.

Katy Perry Does Not Want To Get Involved in the Trial
Following the emergence of the news regarding the three-year court dispute, Wescott's lawyer, Andrew J. Thomas, revealed that Perry and Bloom filed a motion in June 2021 in pursuit of removing their names from the case's caption.
"What's really going on in the Motion is a veiled attempt by Katy Perry to avoid the negative publicity associated with her attempt to force an ill and elderly man in his 80s to sell her a house he had just purchased and moved into less than 2 months after Katy Perry decided she wanted to buy it," Thomas said, per Radar Online.
Perry is no longer a stranger to such a case. She previously evicted two elderly nuns from their convent, leading one of them - Sister Catherine Rose Holzman - to die due to stress.
