My niece is obsessive over an actress and wants to me friend but I told her to get real. Was I being too harsh?

So my niece is a huge fan of the Victorious actors. I used to watch that show as a child and Elizabeth Gillies is my favorite out of all the other girls.
Anyways the show has been off for years and she watched reruns and she is a HUGE fan of Victoria Justice. I mean she is obsessed with her! She said one day she wants to meet her and be friends with her. She follows her n instagram but she complains that Vic doesn’t follow her back or message her back. I told her it could happen but just don’t expect her to message back. Celebrities have lives and they really don’t have time to do that. Also I said to get real because she will never be friends with Victoria or any other celebrity because most celebrities and actors are friends with each other because they can relate. Plus they don’t know if we really like them for who their are. It’s best to stay in our own league. She looked upset and said, “There’s some people that are friends with them! Never say never and I will be friends with Victoria Justice even though she’s old. She’s beautiful, talented and I wish I had her thin body. I’m fat compared to her.”
I told her, “Oh please! Everyone comes in different shapes and sizes. You’re already thin. Even slim people are different shapes and sizes. I mean she’s pretty but get real, you will NEVER be friends with her. Who knows how she is in real life. Maybe if there’s a fan con with her you can meet her. There’s hope for a meet and greet, but don’t get your hopes up. You’re obsessing over someone that doesn’t even know you or you’ll never meet. Find real people to hang with. What about your friends?”
She told me her girl pals turned against her and betrayed her. I told her I’m sorry that happened and people suck. Find better friends and stop obsessing over celebrities. I told her that I used to do that and it messed up my mental health.
Look I just don’t want it to happen to my niece. She’s 14 and in 8th grade.
She obsessed with being friends with celebrities she likes and most likely they’re not going to care. Find people that notices her for HER.
Do you think I was wrong for disappointing her?

You told her right. How people get obsessed over these celebrities I can't imagine. All my life I never had any interest in celebrities. As I got older I developed a gratitude toward actors and singers because I loved the movies. I thought they were kind of cool for working that hard so I could be entertained. Then I found out they were a bunch of communist losers for the most part. They spewed hate online, talked about bombing and killing and every kind of perversion and filth. I was shocked and kind of sick to my stomach then. I watch moves sometimes but I barely notice the actors at all just the characters. I hope your niece doesn't become an actor or some shit like that. Most are not right in the head from the looks of things.
