Outed?
i have read an entertaining slot of news paper and i found something that triggered my curiousity as i didn't really understand its tittle.
SOMEONE was enraged because HIS wife was outed
what is meant by the OUTED?
It was shown that her wife have a bipolar disorder. The acter was just recovered from a severe illness.
The most possible meaning of Outed is unconcious.
However is it possible that a husband will get furious because his wife fainted?
I am confuse with it.

Welcome to the forums. The word originally was used when someone who was secretly gay (in the closet) was exposed as a homosexual (dragged out of the closet). It has transitioned to be used for any secret that is exposed.
