Does confidentiality cover both sides of a conversation?

Let's say 2 friends, Alice and Bernice, have a conversation. After the conversation Alice needed to release what was said out into the world, but Bernice thought this was a confidential conversation, while Alice did not. Does Bernice then have the right to release just what she said in the conversation and if Alice wants her side confidential, then Bernice will only tell people what she told Alice, and not what Alice her? Or does a confidential conversation mean that a person is not allowed to waive their own right to confidentiality after the fact?

This post was deleted for the following reason: This is too vague to be concretely answerable: if this is an actual legal question, that needs to be clearer (and kinda just needs to be a Talk To A Lawyer First situation if so), if it's a more general etiquette/ethics thing it still needs to be clearer what the reason for asking and context is. -- cortex
