 In tragic news, the ex-fiance of Kandi Burruss, who stars on ‘Real Housewives of Atlanta’, was killed in a brawl at a club in Atlanta. Police say Ashley “A.J.” Jewell suffered fatal head injuries during a fight at a strip club. He was rushed to Piedmont Hospital and died later. Fredrick Richardson has been charged with voluntary manslaughter. Kandi is the new ‘Housewife’ on season 2 of the Bravo’s hit show. On the show, she and A.J. are engaged and planning a wedding, although the show was taped months ago. Jewell and Burgess ended their engagement earlier this year. It has been rumored that Kandi bought her own engagement ring. Kandi, a single mother of one, has never been married. She is a Grammy-winner now working on launching a solo career. Responding to her ex-finace’s death, Kandi tweeted: “im bout 2 giv my swollen eyes sum rest now. i just wanted to say thanks 2 every1 for their prayers. i gotta get up & go 2 my uncle's funeral.
