Sweep under the Rug

Etymology:

• Just imagine would you like to welcome or expect someone in your messy house? Off course not, you will instantly put all the mess under the rug before receiving someone important. Since 20th century, the phrase meant to hide unpleasant matters or avoid dealing with obnoxious and horrid matters. If a famous personality does not like to disclose his or her unpleasant or embarrassing facts or events, he or she is sweeping that under the rug.
