* ''WesternAnimation/TheOwlHouse'': In "Thanks To Them", Belos gleefully reveals to everyone that Luz assisted him in meeting The Collector, albeit framing it as her being more involved and willing in aiding him, rather than an indirect participant, just to try and [[EvilIsPetty damage Luz's bond]] with her friends. This doesn't work due to the Hexsquad's knowledge of Belos's backstory and Hunter's own history working for him.

* ''WesternAnimation/HazbinHotel'': Adam reveals that Vaggie is a former angel to Charlie just out of spite. Before that, he also accidentally mentioned the annual Exterminations that Heaven does in Hell, something that, unbeknownst to most of Hell, was ''not'' common knowledge in Heaven.

Related to KeepingSecretsSucks. It's a common way to start TheReveal and, in the worst case, trigger a DominoRevelation and a general WhatTheHellHero. Compare VillainsNeverLie and TheVillainKnowsWhereYouLive. Normally, it's this trope that kicks off a ThirdActMisunderstanding and a LiarRevealed moment. Expect the main character(s) to suffer from a massive HeroicBlueScreenOfDeath in both cases afterwards. This tends to overlap with WhamLine and/or DroppingTheBombshell. See also JustBetweenYouAndMe for cases where the villain goes into too much detail.
