The authorized battle might not be over, although. Perry will nonetheless want to supply proof in an upcoming trial in August for her $6 million damages declare. It’s additionally doable that Bloom may very well be known as to testify, as he’s reportedly chargeable for hiring the specialists who inspected the property.

Regardless of the plea, Perry carried out on the occasion in February 2024, as deliberate.

And I wouldn’t even want it on them. That’s how horrible it’s. And I hope that they will open their eyes and see that. I simply want that they had extra compassion inside themselves.”
