Hi! I'm writing a screenplay about a fan club of a famous person. It's supposed to be a satire on celebrity consumption and fandom. Of course, it would be inevitable that there would be quips on the celebrity, mentions of her works, etc. Problem is, I am worried that I might put the celebrity in a negative light since it's satire. Not that I will defame her or what. I'm using her fandom as a representation of fandom in a bigger context. Do you think it's okay? Or am I crossing a line here?

Thank you!
