Why Were Katy Perry and Orlando Bloom Named in a Lawsuit?
Following their agreement to purchase a $15 million property in California, Perry and Bloom faced opposition from seller Westcott, who later expressed his desire to cancel the transaction. In his legal action, the entrepreneur behind 1-800-Flowers cited his alleged impaired mental state during the negotiation process due to the use of prescribed opioids following a significant surgery. Westcott now asserts that, without the influence of medication, he held no interest in selling the house.
Perry and Bloom have refrained from making any additional statements regarding the lawsuit or accusations. However, their lawyer argued during the initial statements that, at the time of the home sale, Westcott was "beyond reasonable," as reported by Bloomberg Law.
