On August 26, Katy Perry provided testimony via Zoom in Los Angeles County Superior Court related to a high-profile real estate conflict concerning a Santa Barbara estate, as reported by Bloomberg. Perry is engaged in a $15 million legal battle with the property’s former owner, 85-year-old U.S. veteran Carl Westcott.During her testimony, the pop sensation fielded inquiries regarding her involvement in the transaction and whether she held any legal claims to the estate.Amid her ongoing Lifetimes Tour, Perry is reportedly striving to safeguard her reputation after being thrust into the spotlight of this real estate turmoil. Westcott’s family has dubbed her the “Wicked Witch” for allegedly maneuvering Westcott out of his home.Though Westcott later contested the sale, claiming cognitive impairment due to health issues, a recent bench trial revealed that Perry's ex-partner, Orlando Bloom, facilitated the purchase. The former couple acquired the estate in 2020 for $11 to $15 million, with legal implications still in play today.
