This proverb highlights the limitations of authority when dealing with shamelessness or extreme defiance. It means that if a person becomes utterly stubborn or discards their reputation by taking a private matter to the public (causing a scene), even those in power (like a husband in a traditional household or a king in a state) cannot control or reform them.
