diva behavior
Prima donna antics
Diva behavior is demanding, entitled, or temperamental conduct associated with someone who expects special treatment.
The term draws on the image of a celebrated female performer whose talent supposedly justifies excessive demands: Her diva behavior on set alienated the entire crew.
The phrase applies regardless of actual talent or gender, often implying the attitude is unearned.
