Katy Perry testified Tuesday that she is seeking “justice” in a long-running legal battle over a $15 million California mansion.

Perry, giving remote testimony in a Los Angeles courtroom, avoided saying directly whether she stood to gain financially if she won the case but admitted, “I stand to lose money if it doesn’t work in my favor.”

The pop star and former American Idol judge, along with then-partner Orlando Bloom, purchased the Montecito property in 2020. The seller, 85-year-old Carl Westcott, later claimed he was not mentally fit to make the deal and sued to void it.

Perry’s side, represented by her business manager Bernie Gudvi, won the first trial in 2023. Gudvi then countersued for lost rental income and millions in maintenance costs, leading to the current retrial.

During questioning, Perry described herself as Bloom’s “partner and adviser” in remodeling the home. She also emphasized that although the couple split in July, they remain “family for life” as parents to their daughter, who turned five on Tuesday.

Perry’s lawyer repeatedly objected to questions from Westcott’s attorney, including those about Bloom and Westcott’s mental health, which the judge ruled irrelevant.

Asked if she had enough cash to buy the property outright, Perry replied, “I could have, but I wanted to do a mortgage instead.” She also acknowledged previously saying she planned to live in the home, though renters like actor Chris Pratt’s family later used the property.

At one point, a light moment arose when Perry clarified to the judge that she had said she was “pregnant” at the time of dealings with Westcott — not “private.”

The trial, being heard without a jury, is expected to continue for two more days. It is not Perry’s first property dispute; she previously won a high-profile battle with an order of nuns over a Los Angeles convent.
