Kameron Westcott, known from Real Housewives of Dallas, has spoken out about the heartbreaking legal battle surrounding her father-in-law’s Montecito mansion—now owned by pop star Katy Perry.
According to Kameron, Carl Westcott, an 85-year-old veteran battling Huntington’s disease, never intended to sell the $15 million estate, but now, his family finds themselves entangled in a relentless dispute with Perry and her husband, Orlando Bloom.
The Sale That Sparked a Dispute
In July 2020, Carl agreed to sell his 9,285-square-foot home in the exclusive California enclave to Perry.
However, shortly after, he attempted to revoke the deal, claiming that the pain medication he was taking post-surgery impaired his judgment.
Despite these claims, a judge ruled in Perry’s favor in December 2023, officially making her the legal owner.
She took possession of the property in March 2024.
More Than Just a House
For Carl, the house was not just real estate—it was a place of peace where he had hoped to spend his final days surrounded by family.
The Westcotts insist that the legal battle has been exhausting, especially as Carl’s health deteriorates.
Kameron expressed frustration over Perry’s legal team refusing to negotiate, stating, “We just want to focus on my father-in-law’s health and make his last days peaceful.
This fight is the last thing we want to deal with.”
The Financial Demands Adding to the Strain
The situation took a more distressing turn when Perry and Bloom demanded an additional $6 million from Carl, citing alleged repair costs and potential rental income they claim to have lost.
Kameron was stunned by the demand, calling it “heartless” and hoping for more compassion from the celebrity couple.
“I wouldn’t wish this on anyone’s family,” she said, emphasizing the emotional toll on her husband, Court, and his brother, Chart, who are leading the legal fight.
A Community Rallies Behind the Westcotts
Despite the ongoing courtroom battles, the Westcotts have received overwhelming support from fans and the community.
Many have sided with Carl, seeing him as a vulnerable veteran being taken advantage of.
Kameron hopes this case raises awareness, urging people to protect their elderly loved ones from similar situations.
“There are predators out there who will take advantage of people in their weakest moments,” she warned.
A Letter That Raised Questions
Adding to the controversy, Perry and Bloom had written a letter to Carl shortly after the sale, thanking him and stating that the property would provide them with “security, privacy, and safety.”
However, Kameron dismissed the letter as a manipulation tactic, claiming her father-in-law never wanted to leave his cherished home.
Moving Forward: Legal Battles and Public Scrutiny
With Carl now in a memory care facility in Dallas, his family remains determined to fight for his dignity.
Meanwhile, Perry is set to testify in an upcoming trial in August to justify her $6 million damages claim. Bloom may also be called to court, as he reportedly hired various experts to inspect the property.
Even Prince Harry found himself unintentionally pulled into the dispute. Chart Westcott had written a letter urging him to reconsider allowing Perry to perform at the Invictus Games, arguing that her actions contradicted the event’s mission to honor veterans.
No Words Left for Perry and Bloom
When asked if she had a message for Perry and Bloom, Kameron took a long pause before responding. “I actually have nothing to say to them,” she admitted. “I just hope they never have to experience something like this. And I wish they had more compassion to see the impact of their actions.”
As the legal battle wages on, one thing remains certain—the Westcott family is not backing down. For them, this fight is about more than just a house; it’s about protecting Carl’s dignity and legacy in his final days.
