Public figure feels he must not rock the boat

DEAR HARRIETTE: I was invited to a gathering at a nightclub this weekend, and I sat with a private group of people who provided table service. It was very chic until random people started to sneak up and try to pour themselves free drinks from our bar setup. One woman came and sat with our group, even though we didn’t know her; she tried to force herself into photos when we were taking group shots. When this woman tried to pour herself a drink from our host’s bar setup, he pumped the brakes, but he didn’t ask her to leave our private area. When I asked him why, he said that he is a public figure, so he has to be nice to everyone. He let her stay there. I think he should have asked her to move as she kept trying to disrupt our group. What do you think?
