Katy Perryis heading to court.
The couple and Westcott are in the middle of a legal battle over the 9,285-square-foot home, per court documents, due to Westcott claiming that he had not been in the right mindset to sign any binding contracts and that he wanted to avoid the sale altogether.
The father-in-law of formerReal Housewives of Dallasreality star, Kameron Westcott, was diagnosed with a genetic brain disorder known asHuntington’s Diseasein 2015 and is now living in a facility for patients facing dementia.

Perry and Bloom’s business manager Bernie Gudvi’s attorney, Eric Rowan, previously argued Westcott’s degenerative brain diagnosis had not impacted Westcott’s mental capacity. Westcott’s attorney, Andrew Thomas, argued that having spinal surgery on his back five days before the sale made him have “delusion” and “intrusive thoughts” after having to take the painkillers hydrocodone, gabapentin, and tramadol.
Since Perry is also seeking more than $5 million in damages due to loss of potential rental income and for the cost of maintaining other properties she and Bloom, 46, rent, Thomas asked for her to testify remotely over the damages and the home’s rightful owner.
