"Fired" would apply if the person was an employee; it's a bit unclear from the context exactly what his position was.

Michele Fauble
: To "out someone" means to reveal something about the person that he or she did not want others to know./Maybe you meant 'ousted'?/Yes, many Google hits, and they, like all your references, confirm the definition I have provided.

Tanto quanto "fui saído". É a mesma sensação de impropriedade! Mas veja o Webster's. E veja o Google: 38,500 English pages for "I was outed".

I was shown the door
didn't someone mention this as part of their answer? After agreeing with "thrown out" I thought this could be more nuanced, as " eu fui saido" is somewhat nuanced, yet informal.
