You use this expression just after you say something that you feel is controversial, embarrassing, or shameful to say.
It's typically used after you finally say something that you have been wanting to say for a while, but you have been afraid to say it out loud or tell the other person because you feel it is embarrassing to admit or you are concerned about how the other person will react.
It doesn't have to be a statement that hurts another person's feelings... it could just be case where you were too embarrassed to admit something for a long time and you finally built up enough courage to say it.
Example (with hurting someone's feelings): "I think you are a gross and disgusting pig. There, I said it."
Example (without hurting someone's feelings): "Susan, there's something that I've wanted to tell you for a long time, but I've never had the courage to tell you... I love you... There, I said it."

This phrase is said to communicate that the speaker has decided to speak their feelings even if they might accidentally hurt some else's feelings in the process. They probably don't mean to but the speaker probably couldn't think of a better way to phrase it and so they just had to 'get it off their chest' in other words, just say it.
Hope it helped :)
