KATY PERRY AND ORLANDO BLOOM FACE $15 MILLION LEGAL SHOWDOWN AFTER SPLIT
Katy Perry and Orlando Bloom are heading into a courtroom battle worth millions following the end of their engagement as Perry’s lawsuit over a $15 million Montecito mansion escalates into a heated legal fight. The singer bought the luxurious estate from 85‑year‑old veteran Carl Westcott in 2020, but after the sale Westcott claimed he was mentally incapacitated due to Huntington’s disease and medication, trying to void the deal. A court later ruled in Perry’s favor and finalized the purchase in May 2024, but now she is seeking up to $6 million in damages for alleged lost rental income, deferred maintenance, and water damage to the property.
Westcott’s family has accused Perry of being driven by greed, while the case’s next phase will require both Perry and Bloom to testify in court on August 21, 2025. Lawyers for Westcott insist Bloom should take the stand because of his involvement in the home’s management, but Perry’s legal team is fighting to keep him out of the proceedings. This lawsuit has reignited controversy over Perry’s past real estate disputes and has now intertwined with her high‑profile breakup from Bloom, setting the stage for a very public $15 million legal showdown.
