Katy Perry’s testimony slammed by US veteran’s family

Katy Perry gave her testimony in the $15 million mansion war with 85-year-old US veteran Carl Westcott — and his family wasn’t impressed.

“It was good for her to have the Wicked Witch finally come out of the West,” Westcott’s son, Chart, told The Post.

Both Chart and his brother, Court, spoke to The Post after Perry went under oath (via video) in the second phase of the trial on Tuesday.

During her virtual testimony, the “Last Friday Night” singer, 40, said her ex, Orlando Bloom, is “family for life” after he was dragged into the legal battle regarding the Montecito, Calif., mansion that she purchased via her business manager, Bernie Gudvi, in 2020.

However, it was revealed in court that Bloom allegedly paid the funds for the mansion through an LLC and not the singer, as reported by TMZ. Wescott’s attorneys claimed that the revelation proved Perry didn’t have a financial stake in the home.

Perry, meanwhile, argued that she did benefit from the purchase but allegedly did not clarify if she and Bloom were still financial partners after their June breakup.

When asked repeatedly if she had enough cash on hand to purchase the mansion outright, the superstar replied, “I could have, but I wanted to do a mortgage instead,” per ABC News.

Outside the courthouse, Court slammed the pop star, calling her answers “a bit calculated and ingratiating.”

“But I wasn’t surprised by that as well. I expected that. Just disingenuous,” he told The Post in an exclusive video.

“I’m feeling really good about where we stand,” Court continued. “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.”

After hearing Perry’s testimony, Court said, “Bottom line, just because you can carry a tune doesn’t mean you deserve the applause.”

Chart echoed his brother’s statement in a phone interview with The Post following Perry’s hour-long virtual testimony, saying she seemed “sort of rehearsed, like a robot.”

He accused the singer of continuously showing “a pattern of disrespect” during the yearslong legal battle. Chart took particular issue with Perry’s attire, noting she appeared to be wearing pajamas while addressing the court.

“Then she appears in pajamas before the judge. So, you know, just disrespectful,” Chart explained. “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.”

The star and the bedridden vet are currently fighting over nearly $6 million in damages in relation to the purchase of the 8.9-acre property.

The 1-800-Flowers founder sued Gudvi in 2020 after trying to back out of the deal just days later. Westcott claimed he “lacked capacity” to sign the contract and was not in his right mind due to a recent surgery and brain disorder.

However, during phase one of the trial, the judge ruled that “Westcott presented no persuasive evidence that he lacked capacity to enter into a real estate contract between June 10, 2020, and June 18, 2020, the days during which he negotiated and signed the contract.”

The judge said Westcott seemed “coherent, engaged, lucid, and rational” based on evidence, and declared Perry the rightful owner of the estate.

The Grammy winner later countersued the ailing businessman for millions in damages, citing lost rental income, structural defects and deferred maintenance.

The damages trial, known as the penalty phase, began in a Los Angeles, Calif., courtroom on Thursday, August 21, with Westcott’s two sons taking the stand, followed by Perry, who appeared virtually on her daughter Daisy Dove’s 5th birthday.

Westcott, who suffers from the neurological disorder Huntington’s disease, did not testify in the trial.

Before the trial kicked off, The Post spoke to Chart, who revealed he’d be willing to forgive the singer for subjecting them to the burdens of the trial — but he wanted one thing.

Now, he’s changed his tune.

“If I could address Katy Perry or Katheryn Hudson [her real name], the human being, I might be interested in talking to that person. But I don’t think that person is there anymore,” Chart said after Perry took the stand via video.

“It has been replaced by whatever Hollywood has done to her soul. And so all that is left is the shadow of someone who used to be a young girl and a child with a dream,” he claimed. “To go to Hollywood, and it’s chewed her up and spit her out. And what’s left is on display for the entire world to see. So, no, I don’t want to talk to her.”

The Post reached out to Perry’s rep for comment.

Court, whose wife is “Real Housewives of Dallas” alum Kameron Westcott, addressed his father’s ailing health.

“My dad has been bedridden for almost four years now. He’s fading very much, and we’re toward the end for sure,” he said outside of the courthouse last week.

Chart shared his brother’s grim outlook, revealing Westcott’s family is “trying to make him as peaceful” and that doesn’t include talking about Perry.

“I would honestly spare him from that,” he shared with The Post. “I don’t want to cause any sort of agitation with him,” Chart explained, adding their dad is “tired, dying and old.”

The trial, which was expected to last 6 days, will likely wrap up this week.

Perry is gearing up to go overseas for her Lifetimes Tour next week, which ends December 7 in Abu Dhabi.
