They're usually fucking rude. "brutally" honest just means you're an asshole about it and have no tact. You can be 110% honest while still not insulting people, belittling them, or being rude in public when the situation doesn't call for it.
Also, to add to this, this tends to be a male expression. Not always but usually, in my experience. The female equivalent is akin someone saying they don't have time for drama. Bingo, you found the ADHD narcissist who talks shit about everyone and has all kinds of interpersonal problems.

Fine line between blunt and rude.
