One of the nuns who got involved in a lawsuit filed by Katy Perry passed away during a court appearance related to the case.
Sister Catherine Rose Holzman and another nun were attempting to sell an 8-acre convent in Los Angeles. Reportedly, there were 2 buyers who wanted the property — Katy and a restaurant owner named Dana Hollister.
The deal got messed up, and Perry and the Archdiocese of L.A. sued Hollister claiming Hollister tried to interfere with Katy's deal to buy the property. A jury saw it Katy’s way ... awarding her and the Archdioceses $10 mil back in December.
TMZ.com reports that sister Holzman was in court for a post-judgment hearing Friday when she died. Shortly before her death, she said, “We asked (Hollister) to save us, to buy the property. She had nothing to do with forcing herself on us. And to Katy Perry, please stop. It’s not doing anyone any good except hurting a lot of people.”
Holzman was 89.
