Did the others know Addison had unmasked Eve?

What the viewer sees in the first reel is the anticlimax and then it picks up in the last reel for the conclusion; the first time I saw this movie I had forgotten that bit. I don't think the others knew about Addison and Eve's confrontation. Karen had obviously forgiven Lloyd (in the original story, she did not forgive him and was on her way to Reno), Margo and Bill were married and Eve was brilliant on stage and won the Sarah Siddens Award.

I think that's right. Addison would have no reason to reveal to the others what he'd learned about her, and Eve certainly wasn't going to. And in the meantime, Margo, Bill, Karen and Lloyd had all come to their own conclusions, one way or another, about Eve's duplicitous nature.
And of course, sharp-eyed Birdie, who disappears in the film's second half, began to spot Eve for what she was long before any of the others did.

Birdie spotted her right from the get go with her comment about " everything but the blood hounds snapping at her rear end."

I wouldn't be at all surprised if Addison told all at the party after the awards ceremony.
I would. Addison, for all of his admiration for Margo, Lloyd, and Bill as artists, has no respect for them as people. He certainly doesn't see them as his equals, and would have no reason to confide in them, not even to brag.
