out there
Hi,
"James tells her that now that the worst is out there, they can finally be open about being together."
What does 'now that the worst is out there' mean here, especially the phrase 'out there'? Could someone please explain it to me?
Thanks

It sounds to me that some bad news (or perhaps gossip) about Jame and "her" is now common knowledge. Perhaps they had been afraid people would find out about their relationship, and now that the news is "out there" in the public domain of knowledge , they have nothing to fear anymore.
