Using your hypothetical, if a fellow employee took time off and your boss said “it’s private, let’s give them space, that’s all I’m going to say” and you kept saying “I don’t care if it’s private where are they” you’d just be being an #######.
Why is this difficult to understand for people?

Apparently, you wouldn't have to respect your fellow employee's privacy if they are a public figure and/or make a lot of money. They've forfeited all rights to privacy.
ETA: I'm not certain how they measure public figure-dness so it is possible that some of you here may have crossed into the public figure tier without even knowing it. Textcritic, for example.
