How do celebrities go to AA meetings and not have their stories known publicly after?

Question

As I understand artists like Eminem and many others, who have been part of AA, they go to the meetings, and talk their story. Share their experiences and etc.

I understand many of them are already public but still I am sure they share some sensitive stories there.

Of course in AA everyone is a friendly family community, but how is it possible that people don’t gossip about stuff after? Especially having a celebrity on their meeting?

A core part of AA is never revealing other members identities. Hence why you may often hear “my name is [first name] and I’m an alcoholic” but never last names.
