Is the expression "celebrity culture victim" correct?

Welcome to the forum, Rita.:-D

Please write a full sentence containing this phrase, showing us what you want it to mean.

I have changed your thread title.

It could be correct, though I think that a hyphen (celebrity-culture) might help- what's the context?

Thank you for both your answers. :-D
Sorry I took so long to answer but I've seen your answers just now.
Here is an example of a full sentence: "He just turned into a celebrity culture victim like so many others. I lost all my confidence in him since then."

Note my suggested changes above. Despite those changes, I would actually word your sentences like this:

Like so many others, he became a victim of celebrity culture. I lost all confidence in him after that."

How about trust/faith instead of confidence?
