Never tell a lie, they say, if the truth can cause more damage. A Masquerade, Big Secret, Dark Secret, and other things that you shouldn't know about are serious business. But what happens if your archnemesis, an evil organization, or your evil relative reveals something about YOU? And what would happen if that secret had the potential to blow up all your relationships with friends and allies alike? Well, you risk letting the bad guy win with style, and you may go from the frying pan into the fire if that secret may trigger a massive Face–Heel Turn and make the supposed villain look like a less flawed character than his or her opponent. In a case of Tropes Are Tools, this trope can also unravel much of a character's unknown Mysterious Past. However, the villain may have been lying all along to make the hero panic and stutter in front of The Cavalry, so be careful avoiding a red herring or blatant deceits. On rare occasions, this may undermine the villain if they reveal too much. Related to Keeping Secrets Sucks. It's a common way to start The Reveal and, in the worst case, trigger a Domino Revelation and a general What the Hell, Hero?. Compare Villains Never Lie and The Villain Knows Where You Live. Normally, it's this trope that kicks off a Third-Act Misunderstanding and a Liar Revealed moment. Expect the main character(s) to suffer from a massive Heroic Blue Screen of Death in both cases afterwards. This tends to overlap with Wham Line and/or Dropping the Bombshell. See also Just Between You and Me for cases where the villain goes into too much detail. Subtrope of "The Villain Knows" Moment. Spoilers ahead! |

In Danganronpa V3: Killing Harmony, Kokichi is Ambiguously Evil but acts as an antagonist for much of the trials. In the 4th case, however, he gets so frustrated at the other students for spoiling his fun that he flat-out tells them who the culprit is, and unlike most of his antics, he's being 100% truthful this time. | |

In Season Two of Arrow, this happens three times. Firstly, it is Merlyn who reveals to the audience that Thea is really his daughter as a result of an affair with Moira. Later, Slade Wilson tells Thea her parentage so as to drive a wedge between her and her family as part of his plan. Then Slade reveals to Laurel that Oliver is the Arrow, though this bites him in the arse as it helps Laurel reconcile with Oliver. The same happens in the following season when Merlyn forces Oliver to reveal he's the Arrow to Thea; she actually takes it quite well as it explains her brother's seemingly inconsiderate behavior for the past two years. | |

In The Dark Knight Rises, Jim Gordon is one of the three people who know the truth about Harvey Dent's actions in the previous film, and the guilt of having to keep the secret has affected his work and marriage. Gordon keeps a letter revealing the truth on his person at all times in hope that someday he'll have the courage to reveal the truth. Unfortunately, Bane steals the letter when Gordon is captured and reads it publicly as he and his men turn Gotham into an anarchist state, the demoralizing effect of learning that their hero was a murdering psycho making the city's downfall all the harder. | |

Kugie didn't survive, and Kanna blames herself for not being able to save her. When she asks the others how they managed it, Mishima claims it was a matter of physical strength rather than puzzle-solving, reassuring her that she couldn't have saved Kugie due to being a tiny middle-schooler. Sue Miley later reveals the Awful Truth in a Breaking Speech, taunting Kanna with how she could have figured it out in time to save her sister and calling her a murderer. | |

Supernatural: In season 6, the evil goddess Veritas, who forces everyone around her victims to speak to them with Brutal Honesty before killing them, reveals that Sam Winchester isn't really human since he's able to lie to her. Dean, who has been disturbed by Sam's psychopathic demeanour throughout the season, is shocked by this. As it turns out, it's because Sam has no soul due to a resurrection gone wrong. In season 7, when a leviathan who has taken on Dean's form confronts Sam, it reveals to him because he knows it will hurt him that Dean killed Amy, a kitsune Sam believed would not kill humans again, even after he told Sam he agreed that she was good. |

Elizabeth seems to guess the truth anyway, but Booker does not figure it out until much later. | |

In Captain America: Civil War, after striking a truce after a misunderstanding, Iron Man, Captain America, and Bucky work together to stop Helmut Zemo from releasing the other Winter Soldiers. But when they get to the room, Zemo reveals that he never intended to release the soldiers and killed them all. His real plan was to get them in the same room together so he can show them footage of Bucky killing Stark's parents in 1991. Rogers is forced to reveal to Stark that he knew about his parents' death and kept it a secret, which results in Tony trying to kill Bucky and a near-lethal fight between Cap and Iron Man. The end result is the Avengers being disbanded, seemingly for good. | |

The Owl House: 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 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. | |

Marvel Cinematic Universe: In Captain America: The Winter Soldier, Armin Zola gleefully admits that S.H.I.E.L.D. has been infiltrated by HYDRA, all to rub it in Captain America's face seventy years after they first met. This also serves to distract him and Black Widow from a HYDRA missile that is intended to take out everyone present. In Captain America: Civil War, after striking a truce after a misunderstanding, Iron Man, Captain America, and Bucky work together to stop Helmut Zemo from releasing the other Winter Soldiers. But when they get to the room, Zemo reveals that he never intended to release the soldiers and killed them all.

The end result is the Avengers being disbanded, seemingly for good. Defied in Spider-Man: Homecoming: After his defeat, another crook approaches the Big Bad Toomes in jail and asks if it's true that he knows Spider-Man's Secret Identity. Toomes lies and claims not to know, though whether he's being a Graceful Loser to his daughter's friend or has ulterior motives is left ambiguous. Spider-Man: Far From Home: In the mid-credits stinger, doctored footage of Spider-Man’s showdown with Mysterio makes its way to The Daily Bugle and subsequently the MegaVision in Madison Square Garden. Most of it is fabricated, but the one true statement about Spider-Man is the most damning of all - his real name, Peter Parker. |

In Act 3 of Baldur's Gate III while playing as the Dark Urge, Lord Enver Gortash would casually reveal to them during their first meeting that they, as Bhaal's Chosen prior to Orin betraying them, were responsible for the entire conspiracy behind the Cult of the Absolute, from stealing the Crown of Karsus to enslaving the elder brain with it. Although unlike most examples, Gortash does this with the intention of convincing the Dark Urge to rekindle their Villainous Friendship to keep both Orin from jeopardizing their plans and the Netherbrain from breaking free of their control. Meanwhile, most of the Dark Urge's companions do not take this revelation quite well. | |

Borderlands: In Borderlands 2, Handsome Jack openly admits that he's holding something secret towards the start of the game, but says that he has no plans to reveal it just yet. He waits until Wilhelm has been killed and his power core looted to replace Sanctuary's shields... at which point he reveals that Angel is actually working for him, causing the shields to go down and the city to be bombed by a Kill Sat. In Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel!, this is subverted towards the climax when Anti-Villain Colonel Zarpedon attempts to warn Jack about the dangers of the Vault on Elpis, in a last-ditch effort to keep him away from the forbidden knowledge it holds. Unfortunately, in revealing that the Vault has already been opened, she causes Jack (who is suffering from Sanity Slippage) to rush his plans into overdrive and shoot her before she can finish speaking. |

By telling the Jedi this, they start investigating Republic senators and Sidious latches on to this to create tension between the Jedi and Republic, ultimately allowing him to declare them traitors.

Pokémon: During his Villainous Breakdown in Pokémon Black and White, Ghetsis reveals to N and the player that he's really in charge of Team Plasma and that the plan to release Pokemon is really to weaken Unova so it can be conquered. Another example occurs halfway through the same game when N reveals that he is the rightful king of Team Plasma. The Wham Line in this case is underlined by how casually he's implied to reveal it. In Pokémon X and Y, a member of Team Flare accidentally gives away the fact that they might not be as harmless as they seem. This is fairly early on, so players may forget this Wham Line at first. Towards the end of Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time and Darkness, Darkrai reveals that he was responsible for the 'accident' that kicked off the game's plot. |

Subverted near the end of Acquisitions Incorporated season 8: The Big Bad seemingly reveals that the party's newest intern, Viari, had been The Mole for him the entire time, but it quickly becomes apparent that Viari had been just as much an Unwitting Pawn as the rest of the party and redeems himself almost immediately by killing the bad guy. | |

Infinity Train: Blossomverse: In a twist on this trope, she's the one who ultimately reveals to the Apex that she actually doesn't know how the Train works, and that she was lying to them for years. Vox and Dahlia eventually reveal to everyone on the Train that Chloe's circumstances before she boarded weren't quite as black-and-white as she made them out to be. |

She had confided this to Detective Somersett but hadn't told her husband yet.

Arrowverse: In Season Two of Arrow, this happens three times. Firstly, it is Merlyn who reveals to the audience that Thea is really his daughter as a result of an affair with Moira. Later, Slade Wilson tells Thea her parentage so as to drive a wedge between her and her family as part of his plan. Then Slade reveals to Laurel that Oliver is the Arrow, though this bites him in the arse as it helps Laurel reconcile with Oliver. The same happens in the following season when Merlyn forces Oliver to reveal he's the Arrow to Thea; she actually takes it quite well as it explains her brother's seemingly inconsiderate behavior for the past two years. In The Flash (2014), Dr Wells eventually confesses to Cisco that he is really Eobard Thawne, is from the far future, and is the Reverse-Flash, shortly before crushing his heart. This gets undone by Barry travelling back in time, but Wells accidentally gives a bit too much away when helping Barry beat the Trickster later on. In Supergirl, Lex Luthor does this when his own sister shoots him in cold blood, gleefully revealing Supergirl's secret identity to Lena simply knowing that he'll die having destroyed the Girl of Steel on a personal level. And this was coming around just as Supergirl was heavily considering telling Lena the truth, which comes right back around to bite her in Season 5 when Lena undergoes a Face–Heel Turn and starts committing villainous acts. |

Subverted in that the Cybermen tell her they don't care about the Doctor's secrets and that they want the superweapon for themselves. | |

While the recording is cut short, seeing a fragment of it persuades Ravage to switch sides and join him in his efforts to wipe out the Autobots. | |

In Highlander, the Kurgan gloats to MacLeod that he raped Heather after he took Ramirez's head, mistakenly believing she was Ramirez's wife. He gauges MacLeod's mortified reaction and realizes that Heather took the secret of what really happened to her on that terrible night in 1542 to her grave, and takes sick glee in it, suggesting that she secretly liked the Kurgan defiling her more than any of the time she and Connor made love. The more likely explanation is she realistically feared that MacLeod would try a Roaring Rampage of Revenge against an extremely dangerous immortal barbarian and get killed if he ever found out, or more simply she was just too traumatised to ever mention it (this is the angle the novelisation goes with). | |

In the final campaign DLC of Doom Eternal, Davoth the Dark Lord reveals his true origin to the Doom Slayer - the legends that speak of him in Urdak were complete lies. Davoth wasn't sealed away by the Father of all things - he IS the Father, who was betrayed by his own creations and therefore sealed away for eons. This is further punctuated by Davoth ordering the current Father to spill the beans for him first; and up until this point you are led to believe that he was Davoth's superior. Of course, this revelation just pisses Doomguy off even more, and he ultimately kills Davoth anyway. | |
