blurter
Says things suddenly
A blurter is someone who blurts things out—speaks impulsively without thinking first.
The word usually carries mild criticism, suggesting someone who lacks a filter: He's such a blurter; he told everyone about the surprise party.
A blurter says what others might keep to themselves.
