The family of an elderly nun, who tragically passed away while trying to thwart Katy Perry's purchase of her convent home, has expressed outrage at the singer's attempt to displace an 83-year-old veteran from his $15 million house in California.
The relative described it as "evil" on Katy's part.
When news spread of the "I Kissed A Girl" singer and her actor beau Orlando Bloom's intent to remove Carl Westcott from his Santa Barbara residence, the late Sister Catherine Rose Holzman's nephew, Brian Holzman, gave no hesitation in voicing his opinion on the matter.
Brian described Katy as "an evil woman", claiming that his aunt's death in 2018 was caused by the strain of attempting to stave off the sale of the convent to Katy. He further lamented to Radar Online, "It sounds like [my aunt] is at it again... all about money and greed!"
For the past three years, Carl has been embroiled in a legal dispute with Katy and Orlando. This arose after he signed papers for the sale of his house just three days after enduring an arduous six-hour operation on his back.
Bernie Gudvi, the rep for the A-list couple, made an unexpected visit to the recovering veteran's home to present them with a written purchase offer for their expansive estate - an eight-bedroom and 11-bathroom spread.
This intriguing event was first reported by the Daily Mail.
When the effects of his painkillers faded, Carl - himself afflicted with Huntington's Disease - was faced with regret over his agreement. Alas, the agent representing the couple that he'd made the contract but refused to let him off the hook and threatened to settle things in a courtroom.
Carl, who wishes to spend his remaining years in his home, has found himself subject to a lawsuit due to his age, prior back issues, and recent surgery coupled with taking opiates multiple times per day resulting in an unsound mind.
Katy Perry and Orlando Bloom, both incredibly wealthy individuals with respective estimated net worths of $330 million and $40 million respectively, chose to take a rather intimidating approach in trying to compel Westcott into completing the sale.
Unfortunately, Carl's advanced illness has left him unable to attend proceedings later this month; however, his family is prepared to fight for justice against Katy and Orlando.
Meanwhile, Sister Catherine was in her late eighties when she perished during a court hearing about her ongoing dispute with the "Fireworks" hitmaker related to selling their 8-acre property where Sisters of Most Holy and Immaculate Heart of Blessed Virgin Mary had resided since the 1970s.
Undeterred by the odds, Sisters Catherine and Rita Callanan stood their ground in a fight against the Archdiocese and Katy Perry.
Despite starting a GoFundMe account to fund their endeavor, which gathered more than $51,000 in donations, they were ultimately unsuccessful in blocking the sale - their case being rejected by Los Angeles County Superior Court.
Sister Rita expressed her opinion to the Daily Beast in 2018, stating, "Katy Perry seems accustomed to having whatever she desires; money is everything to her and she will do anything to get what she wants."
"She said in one report that she sold her soul to the devil, so this does not surprise me one bit," Holzman said. "I'm not a fan of Katy Perry that's all I can say."
"She will have to answer for it one day," he said, referring to God's wrath.
