Kameron Westcott slammed a judge’s “unjust and unethical” decision to allow Katy Perry and Orlando Bloom to purchase a California mansion previously owned by her father-in-law, Carl Westcott.
The “Real Housewives of Dallas” alum, 40, said her heart was breaking after the Los Angeles court found that Carl, 84, had no substantial evidence to support his claim that he lacked the mental capacity to sell the Montecito property in 2020.
“I want to personally thank all of you who have kept Carl and our family in your thoughts and prayers as we awaited the results of the ongoing trial,” Kameron captioned an Instagram post Wednesday, featuring snaps of the family, including her husband, Court Westcott, and his dad.
“Many of you know our inspiring veteran hero & my father-in-law, Carl has been battling Huntington’s disease and became the subject of a legal battle with Katy Perry over the sale of his home in Montecito when he was not in the right mental state,” she went on, noting the judge ruled in favor of the “Teenage Dream” singer, 38, and her actor beau, 46.
“While this is a set back, I know the truth and those who fight for good amongst greed will always prevail. While our hearts break for Carl in his current health condition and now with the results of the trial, let this be a reminder and encouragement to all of us to be the differences and the kindness we need in this world, even when we’re up against obstacles that seem unjust and unethical 🤍,” she concluded.
While some fans expressed support for the 1-800-Flowers founder, who has an estimated net worth of $20 million, others felt Perry and Bloom did nothing wrong.
“Katy did nothing but buy a house that was for sale. He had plenty of lawyers, his son is one that I’m sure went over everything before it was done. Take care of your dad and let the house go,” one follower commented on the Bravolebrity’s post.
“I am kind of confused by this. Where was his family when the home was put up for sale and why were they not by his side if he was not competent to sell the home,” another chimed in.
A third person wrote, “If @katyperry put in an offer and it was accepted I don’t see how she did anything wrong.”

In a statement to Rolling Stone, Perry’s lawyer said the evidence overwhelmingly showed that Carl breached his contract “simply because he changed his mind.”
“The judge has concluded that Mr. Westcott was in full possession of his faculties when he engaged in complex negotiations with multiple parties to finalize the lucrative sale of the property, which ultimately brought him a substantial profit,” Eric Rowen said Wednesday.
Meanwhile, Carl’s other son, Chart Westcott, told The Post: “Where the judge’s ruling may follow the letter of the law, it shows that the law has no spirit. Katy Perry will now have to testify, in person, to receive her ‘damages.’”
According to court documents obtained by The Post, Carl claimed that a July 14, 2020, contract for the sale of his sprawling property was written up when he “lacked the mental capacity to understand the nature and probable consequences of the contract.”
He further claimed that due to his age, poor health from Huntington’s disease and “a major six-hour surgery less than a week before the proposed contract,” it had “seriously impaired [his] mental faculties to the point he was of unsound mind and not competent to give his free, voluntary, or intelligent consent to the contract” for the 8.9-acre estate.
The A-list couple purchased the home for $15 million on July 18, 2020, writing in a letter to Carl at the time, “As you know we are expecting a baby next month and know this will be the best place to bring her home to and raise her in.”
