Andrew Thomas, the attorney for an 85-year-old bedridden veteran, fired off a civil subpoena for Orlando Bloom to appear in court next year in Katy Perry’s ongoing real estate battle after she already won the rights to the vet’s $15 million California mansion.
The Post can confirm that Bloom, 47, is being dragged into his fiancée’s mansion legal mess, scheduled for Feb. 25, 2025, over the alleged damages the pop princess, 40, claims 1-800-Flowers founder Carl Westcott owes her.
Last year, Perry was officially ruled the owner of Westcott’s secluded estate nestled in affluent Montecito, home to celebrities like Oprah Winfrey, Ellen DeGeneres, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle and Gwyneth Paltrow.
The “Roar” singer was embroiled in a yearslong legal fight with Westcott after the entrepreneur — who suffers from the neurological disorder Huntington’s disease — inked a deal with Perry’s business manager, Bernie Gudvi, agreeing to sell his home to the superstar during the height of the COVID-19 pandemic.When Westcott tried to back out of the deal days later, blaming his mental health and alleging he agreed to the sale while recovering from surgery, they refused.
In turn, both parties launched their own lawsuits against each other, with Westcott’s mental capacity taking center stage.
Los Angeles County Superior Court Judge Joseph Lipner sided with Perry in November 2023, ruling that Westcott did not have substantial evidence to support his claim that he lacked the mental capacity to enter into a contract over the eight-bedroom, 11-bathroom estate.
However, the legal fight continued as Perry claimed Westcott owns her millions in damages on the property — and the number keeps increasing.
At first, she requested $2.67 million for loss of use, citing she was unable to rent out the mansion during their court feud. In court documents recently obtained by In Touch Weekly, Perry alleged she’s owed over $5.5 million for additional damage the house has allegedly suffered since her purchase.
The “Fireworks” singer and Westcott’s team are scheduled to duke out the second phase of the trial in February 2025.
Westcott’s son Chart exclusively told The Post: “Orlando Bloom has been supervising renovations and repairs. He is a material witness that Katy Perry is trying to do far more than make us pay for repairs, she is trying to make us pay for renovations. Standing up for the nuns and other targets of her bullying, we have the determination and the power to fight back.”
The Post reached out to Perry’s lawyer for comment.
The couple’s sprawling estate boasts two guest houses, a pool and an herb garden. It was built in the 1930s and features cathedral ceilings, hardwood and stone floors, window coverings, heated flooring, and several fireplaces inside and out.
During the legal battle, Westcott moved into a residential care facility.
Perry — who welcomed her daughter, Daisy, with Bloom in August 2020 — also purchased another home in Montecito in October 2020, just months after inking the deal with Westcott.
This isn’t the pop star’s first time feuding over real estate.
