tactlessly
In clumsy fashion
In a manner lacking sensitivity to what's appropriate or considerate of others' feelings.
Someone who tactlessly announces Your ex is here with his new girlfriend fails to recognize the awkwardness they're creating.
The word implies social clumsiness rather than malice—saying the wrong thing without realizing it.
