It is no secret that our pop queen Katy Perry was one of the biggest hitmakers of the 2010s and also slayed her stage residency in Las Vegas. But this time, our “Teenage Dream” girl is having a law named after her… for ALL THE WRONG reasons!
Over the last few years, Katy has been involved in some major legal showdowns with the elderly over sales of homes in California, United States. Here’s the tea for you: in 2017 she tried to buy a home from a group of nuns – who clearly didn’t like the “I Kissed a Girl” song.
The church girls attempted to block her from getting the place she had originally bought, but Katy ultimately got the keys to the house she got. Sadly, the biggest event from this legal tea is not the selling of the house itself, but the collapse of one of the nuns during the trial, who later died.
So what’s the story this time? Katy Perry was about to snap up a swanky $15 million Santa Barbara mansion from his original 84-year-old owner, Carl Westcott. But wait, plot twist! Carl and his family are putting the brakes on the sale.
He’s saying, that due to his health condition, he wasn’t in the right headspace to give the green light for the agreement. Now, they’re pushing back, not only against Katy owning the house but will be making a new act too!
As a result of all this pop house-selling drama, Carl and his family are working to bring the “Protecting Elder Realty for Retirement Years Act, or the Katy PERRY Act” to light. And we are shook!
Basically, this new act will give all elderly people involved in house selling some time to think things trough. Get this: as long as they are 75 years old (or older) they will be able to pull the plug on the agreement, at least for 72 hours before selling.
Katy, we are sure there are plenty more mansions out there!
