I'm not from the south, so from time to time I have to ask people that are about certain expressions I am unfamiliar with. I have heard on numerous occasions "put her out" "put it out" "put him out" as translation to asked her/him to leave or demanded her/him to leave. I could be wrong, but I think he was just saying he kicked her out of the house in the non-physical sense...however, I could be wrong.
