Katy Perry is expected to testify at the upcoming trial over a $15 million California mansion against a Real Housewives alum’s family member – and the former Bravo star will be present in court for the drama, Us Weekly can exclusively report.
Kameron Westcott, who starred on Real Housewives of Dallas, will be in the courtroom later this month. Kameron is the daughter-in-law of businessman Carl Westcott. Real Housewives of Dallas ran for 5 seasons on Bravo from 2016 to 2021, and Kameron, 42, starred on seasons 2 through 5.
Kameron tells Us, “We want to face Katy Perry in court after all our family has been through. We’ll continue to fight for Carl. Not everyone who can carry a tune deserves an applause.”
In court, Perry, 40, will be questioned by Carl’s legal team as part of a never-ending battle over an 8-bedroom, 9-bathroom estate in Santa Barbara.
Carl, 85, sued Perry’s business manager Bernie Gudvi in 2020. He claimed he executed a deal to sell Perry, via Gudvi, his home while under the influence of pain medicine prescribed following a procedure.

In the suit, Carl said he was not in the right mind to execute the paperwork. Perry’s team scoffed at the claim. They argued he was fully present during negotiations and was even talking to other potential buyers.
The first phase of the trial went down in November 2023. The court sided with Perry’s team and ordered the keys to be turned over to Perry. The parties have been preparing for phase two of the trial, scheduled to start on August 21, ever since.
Katy Perry and Orlando Bloom’s real estate trial officially began on Wednesday, September 27. Us Weekly confirmed in August that the singer, 38, and the actor, 46, had been named in a lawsuit over the sale of their $15 million mansion. The seller, Carl Westcott, alleged that he was on painkillers when he sold them […]
In recent court documents, Carl revealed who he plans to call to testify during the trial.
One of the witnesses will be his son, Court Westcott, who is married to Kameron. Carl’s lawyers said Court, 46, will testify about the condition of the mansion before and after his father Carl entered in-patient care for Alzheimer’s Disease and dementia and “on the style of his father’s practices concerning the condition he kept all his houses in.”

Carl’s team will also be questioning Perry about her claims the home had extensive damage from the time she purchased the home to the time she received the keys.
Carl’s team disputes Perry’s claims that the home needed millions of dollars in repairs. Perry’s business manager stood by the claim.
While some Real Housewives of Beverly Hills stars have been a part of the Bravo hit since season 1 — looking at you, Kyle Richards — others have proved that diamonds aren’t forever. The sixth installment in the Real Housewives franchise was announced in March 2010 and aired its first season seven months later. At the […]
In addition, Perry will be asked about her alleged rental of the home to actor Chris Pratt and whether she ever lived in the home with her ex, Orlando Bloom.
Rolling Stone reported the singer is expected to appear via Zoom and will not be present in the courtroom.
As Us previously reported, Carl was shut down in his attempt to depose Bloom, 48.

Carl’s team believed Bloom had information relevant to the case. Perry’s team claimed the request was untimely.
The court order dated August 1 read, “Orlando Bloom will not be required to appear at trial. Westcott has not identified any specific facts on which he needs Mr. Bloom’s testimony.”
Bravo shows are known for their fair share of feuds — and over the years the drama has spilled across the network. Vanderpump Rules star Lala Kent previously made headlines when her split from Randall Emmett kickstarted public drama with Shahs of Sunset‘s GG Gharachedaghi. Shortly after the beauty mogul ended her engagement to Emmett, […]
On July 3, reps for Perry and Bloom announced the couple ended their engagement amid months of rumors.
“Orlando and Katy have been shifting their relationship over the past many months to focus on coparenting,” the exes’ reps said in a statement. “They will continue to be seen together as a family, as their shared priority is — and always will be — raising their daughter with love, stability and mutual respect.”
