I've no doubt Samson would talk, but most of the patrons didn't see it themselves. I think there will always be a certain level of urban legend about the incident; Kathleen would have problems if something like that happening routinely.
Harper may be a whore, but that's no reason to discount her opinion. As Rosalind notes, people will often feel free to talk around whores, and Dalia seems to think Harper is both a smart and professional whore. If Harp thinks half the patrons don't see Kat as an equal, I weigh that insight heavily. You are right, however, that Harper says "half" rather than "most."
I put no weight on the MC's tirade during his recent scene with Kathleen. I base my opinion on what we've seen in game and heard from sources I judge reliable. It's true that people like Samson and Jim obey Kathleen, but is that a sign they ultimately respect her, or a sign they respect Chuck (or August) and know he would take umbrage at directly defying Kat? I say it's more the latter. That doesn't mean they see Kathleen no differently than one of the house girls (there are degrees to this), just that she wouldn't be able to operate the Club - as it currently is - without the support of her partners.
Abel's cooperation is different since he clearly has his own agenda that Kat is helping with, but we don't yet know if that's a sign of Abel respecting her or simply a case of her being useful to him.
Warren DOES seem quite loyal to her, but I think that's because they're very closely aligned in their outlook. She likes the way he indulges his id and doesn't mind if he's rough on the girls, while he appreciates the way she makes things simple and fun for him. I'd say he respects her in his own way, but it's from a different viewpoint than the patrons would be looking at Kat.
