Katy Perry are reportedly involved in a legal battle with an elderly veteran over the California home they made an offer on back in 2020.The dispute stems from the engaged couple’s attempt to buy a mansion in Montecito, California for $15million (£11.8million) from army veteran Carl Westcott, 83, three years ago.According to the Daily Mail, Westcott had moved into the home two months before the couple bought the estate. Westcott had allegedly signed a real estate contract to sell his home, but later claimed he was under the influence of opioids and painkillers after major back surgery.In court documents obtained by Daily Mail and The New York Post, Westcott “lacked the mental capacity to understand the nature and probable consequences of the contract”.A week after signing, Westcott said he began to feel “mentally clear again” after his surgery medication wore off.Westcott subsequently wrote an email to Berkshire Hathaway, the dual agent for the seller and buyer, saying that he did not want to go through with the sale.In response, Perry and Bloom’s representative presented Westcott with an increased financial offer – more than he paid for the home.
Katie Stevens ‘Doesn’t See Any Money’ for ‘The Bold Type’ Streaming Residuals, But ‘Pennies’ for Rentals
02.08.2023 - 19:47 / usmagazine.com
Jane Sloan always stood up for her beliefs on The Bold Type — and so is actress Katie Stevens during the ongoing SAG-AFTRA strike.
“I get it: You see us on TV and think we’re getting paid millions and millions of dollars, that’s not true,” Stevens, 30, quipped during a Monday, July 31, appearance on the “Hold My Hair?” podcast. “The way that it used to be was when your shows aired on television, you got residuals and when they had reruns, you got residuals from that. You got paid every time somebody watched it.”
Stevens, who played journalist Jane on Freeform’s The Bold Type between 2017 and 2022, noted that her show currently airs on a variety of domestic and international streaming platforms. “I don’t see any money from it,” she added without mentioning the show’s name directly in accordance with SAG strike rules. “None!”
Stevens — who previously starred on MTV’s Faking It for three seasons before landing her five-year role on The Bold Type — explained that she only gets a paycheck if a viewer rents or purchases an episode of the show.
“It’s still pennies! Like, there’s a bar in L.A. called ‘Residuals,’ where if you bring in a check that’s under $1, you get a free shot. I would die there because the amount of checks that I get that are for, like 21 cents or 18 cents,” she told host Courtney Michelle Dlugos, noting she could get a lot of complimentary beverages at the establishment. “It’s not fair that these companies are making billions of dollars and they’re caring more about the investors that they’re in the pockets of and paying those people and not compensating the people that are doing the art form and creating the stories.”
Due to the onslaught of streaming platforms and outdated residual guidelines, unionized
