Rav Kaminetsky says

 In this synopsis of the AIA convention, R. Shmuel Kamenetzky is reported to have stated that every Jew is obligated to sanctify the Name of Heaven in public. Presumably, this would mean that Ms. Tamar Epstein must leave the home of an alien gentleman such as Mr. Adam Fleischer, as per the relevant laws of Kiddush Ha-Shem presented by Rambam, Hilkhot Yesodei ha-Torah, ch. 5. Furthermore, even if my presumption of R. Shmuel Kamenetzky's intention is not correct, this need not deter me from reaching the same practical conclusion, as per the Gemara, Eiruvin 63a that one may not defer to his superior rabbi in a situation of obvious transgression.
