Andrew Thomas, the attorney for a bedridden 85-year-old veteran, has dismissed a civil subpoena for Orlando Bloom to appear in court next year in Katy Perry’s ongoing estate battle after she won the rights to the veterinarian’s $15 million California mansion.
The Post can confirm that Bloom, 47, is being dragged into the legal mess over his fiancée’s mansion, which is scheduled for Feb. 25, 2025, for alleged damages the pop princess, 40, claims 1-800-Flowers founder Carl Westcott owes her.

Last year, Perry was officially ruled the owner of the secluded Westcott estate nestled in affluent Montecito, home to celebrities like Oprah Winfrey, Ellen DeGeneres, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, and Gwyneth Paltrow.
The “Roar” singer has been embroiled in a years-long legal battle with Westcott after the businessman — who suffers from the neurological disorder Huntington’s disease — struck a deal with Perry’s business manager, Bernie Gudvi, 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 accusing him of agreeing to sell while recovering from surgery, they refused.
In turn, both sides filed separate 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 mental capacity to sign a contract for the eight-bedroom, 11-bathroom property.

However, the legal battle continues as Perry claims Westcott is owed millions in property damages — and the number continues to rise.
She initially sought $2.67 million for loss of use, citing her inability to rent out the mansion during their court feud. In recent court documents obtained by In Touch Weekly, Perry alleges she is owed more than $5.5 million for additional damages the home has allegedly suffered since it was purchased.
The “Fireworks” singer and Westcott’s team are expected to wrap up the second phase of the trial in February 2025.

Westcott’s son, Chart, exclusively told The Post: “Orlando Bloom oversaw the renovations and repairs. He is a material witness that Katy Perry is trying to do 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 strength to fight back.”
The Post has reached out to Perry’s attorney 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 floors and several fireplaces inside and out.
Amid the legal battle, Westcott moved into a residential care facility.
Perry — who welcomed her daughter, Daisy, with Bloom in August 2020 — also bought another home in Montecito in October 2020, just months after signing the deal with Westcott.
This isn’t the first time the pop star has feuded over real estate.
