air dirty laundry

To discuss very private, personal matters, especially that which may be embarrassing, in public or with other people.

.air dirty laundry ... It always makes me uncomfortable when John starts going into all his personal problems whenever our friends get together. I just wish he wouldn't air his dirty laundry in public like that. People have an unnatural fixation on the personal lives of celebrities, but I don't see why they should be expected to air their dirty laundry in public.

air your dirty laundry

dealing with personal problems while other people are around.

A cop might let you out of his car to air your dirty laundry in front of everyone around who could see. I was made to change my dress in the middle of the parking lot, airing my dirty laundry like a little whore.
