Nearly two years ago a dispute between two brothers—one of whom was dating the other’s wife—erupted into an early morning brawl at a Kennesaw restaurant and hookah bar that left one man sliced up by a box-cutter and the other in jail.

In the aftermath, Cafe Istanbul and its owner were sued by the injured man, Kenny Rivera, who claimed the club’s bouncer had held him while his brother cut him on the arm, abdomen and leg.
