The trope is about talking bad about someone as though the person is not present. It doesn't require that someone literally say the words "I'm standing right here."

Since the character is oblivious to the fact that the other person is present, Right in Front of Me seems like a better fit.

This is a trope I've been wanting to know the name of. It's when a character is being badly mentioned by someone else, not realizing that same character they're poking fun at or blaming for a crime is among the crowd. An example I can point to is in the Helluva Boss episode "Ozzie's", where Fizzarolli mentions he wants to meet the guy who was dumb enough to set Loo Loo Land on fire, without realizing Blitzo is in the audience until much later.
