Katy Perry may get a namesake law

Getting a law named after her may not be on Katy Perry’s checklist, but the pop star might just get that with the Protecting Elder Realty for Retirement Years (PERRY) Act or the Katy PERRY Act.

Meant to protect older people—aged 75-plus—the Katy PERRY legislation website states it offers a 72-hour cool-down period during which either party “can rescind the agreement without penalty.”

The Act stems from a lawsuit that went to trial a week ago. It was filed by 1-800-Flowers owner Carl Westcott against Perry and her fiance Orlando Bloom over the sale of his eight-bedroom, 11-bathroom Santa Barbara mansion.

Why?
The Dark Horse singer and her partner Bloom bought Westcott’s mansion for $15 million in 2020. Westcott tried to abandon the deal a few days later claiming that at the time of signing the papers, he was suffering from mental decline and had been taking prescription painkillers after surgery.

Now, the 84-year-old is suing the couple.

Not the first time
The pop star previously had a similar legal battle with elderly nuns when purchasing their convent. She won that case, but it is known more for the collapse and demise of one of the nuns during the court trial.
