Coworker crosses the line at baby shower, AITA for kicking her out?

A man invites his female coworker to his wife’s baby shower but things quickly turn sour when she starts making inappropriate jokes. Despite warning her previously about keeping things professional, the coworker persists and even suggests she’ll be the baby’s second mom. The man takes her aside and tells her to apologize or leave, and she chooses to leave. Coworkers agree she was acting inappropriately, but some think he should have let her down easier. Is he the a**hole for kicking her out?
