AITA Freeloader friends brings over freeloaders

AITA - My husband and I have a friend we’ve known very well for 7+ years. He’s in a stage in his life where he’s using grinder regularly and always has a new “friend.” He never invites us to his house, but we invite him to ours for holidays, and other backyard gatherings. He doesn’t cook, is extremely cheap and always down to come over for a free meal. For years I’ve let this slide because he’s my husband’s friend but in the last year he’s started bringing his new friend of the week over for gatherings. We don’t know these people and they never bring anything. It’s awkward because everyone else brings something and he and his new “friend” are always down to come by and eat, drink and not help at least clean up. I told my husband that I didn’t want his friend bringing some random person to our house that no one knows. Some of the people he’s brought in the past have made our guests and myself feel uncomfortable by getting drunk and discussing their sexual escapades in detail. For example, discussing peeing on people when others aren’t asking. It’s all good, but also, this is not the time or the place.

Am I an asshole for telling my husband that his freeloader friend cannot bring friends over to our house? His response is that his friend doesn’t want to come alone. Despite him knowing everyone here…. For years!!
