Did this ever happen in the history of Spider-Man?
In the end credits of Spider-Man: Far From Home,
Mysterio reveals that Peter Parker is Spider-Man. Spider-Man's identity was always a secret to the world (at least in the films).
Only a few people knew Peter is Spider-Man.
So I was wondering if something like this happened before, (i.e., the villain
revealing Spider-Man's identity.)
I am looking for answers that include animated films and TV shows as well as live-action films and TV shows.

For an example of it happening in adaptations: if you have seen Spider-Man: Into the Spiderverse they reveal that Peter Parker is Spider-Man in the very beginning to the world.
As the comments mention it has happened multiple times in the comics, in the various different universes. Sometimes Peter himself reveals it to the world, like in the Civil War comic arc.
When you ask if something like this happened before are you also looking for superhero types revealing their true identity, or just Spider-Man? The trope of "Secret Identity Unmasking" is well established and common place, this website handily give examples in all types of media.

Well, sorry to be bearer of bad news, but it turns out that it's scientifically impossible for someone to be Spider-Man\u2026and it has everything to do with our stupid bodies. As everyone knows, Marvel Comics' Spider-Man is able to leap and bound up walls much like a spider can.Who was the 1st Spider-Man?
