ostracizes
Casts someone out
Ostracizes is the third-person singular form of ostracize, meaning to exclude someone from a group or community, typically as a form of social punishment.
When a group ostracizes a person, they deliberately shut them out of activities, conversations, and relationships.
The popular kids ostracized anyone who didn't fit their image.
The practice can be informal social rejection or, historically, formal exile from a community.
