"We're family for life."

Katy Perry testified remotely in a Los Angeles courtroom in a dispute over a $15 million Montecito mansion she and former partner Orlando Bloom bought in 2020. When asked whether she stood to gain money or anything else from the trial, she replied, "Justice," and added, "I stand to lose money if it doesn't work in my favor." The seller, 85-year-old Carl Westcott, sued claiming he was not mentally competent to make the deal. Perry's side prevailed in a 2023 trial; the current trial stems from a countersuit over lost rental income and maintenance claims. Judge Joseph Lipner limited questions about Bloom and ruled he did not have to testify.
