Streisand evidently sees herself in such a grandiose light that she believed she deserved to be shielded by security personnel who promptly shone flashlights at regular person dared to capture a candid shot of Babs with their phones.
If that isn't the epitome of vain, diva-like behavior, I don't know what is.
From Radar Online:
Sources from inside a star-studded afterparty said the acclaimed singer-actress had recruited someone to handle the job so she wouldn't have to think twice about it.
Streisand had a guy standing beside her roped-off area "shining a flashlight at anyone attempting to take a phone pic of her," which compromised their shots, according to Puck News. "That's next-level dedication to vanity."
Instead of being able to get a clear image of the Guilt Trip star, onlookers would have their portraits spoiled by the illumination.
RadarOnline.com has reached out to her reps for comment.
Just hours before the event, Streisand was honored with the SAG Life Achievement Award at the highly anticipated ceremony.
Jennifer Aniston and Bradley Cooper presented Streisand with the prize during the event, which was held at the Shrine Auditorium and Expo Hall in Los Angeles.
While taking the stage, she was greeted with a standing ovation and loud cheers. "This is such a wonderful award to get because you know in advance that you're going to get it and you don’t have to sit there and squirm," Streisand quipped.
