Kandi’s Exfiance killed In Strip Club Fight at the Body Tap
Kandi Burruss’s fiancé, Ashley Jewell (A.J.) was killed in a freak incident yesterday. This has come as a shock for Kandi Burruss who is a participant in Real Housewives of Atlanta. She has been receiving accolades for her behavior on the show.
There are reports that Kandi is the legal guardian of AJ’s twin 12 year old daughters (Jewell has six children), and Kandi’s rep has confirmed the news. The former fiance of one of “The Real Housewives of Atlanta” was killed in a fight outside his strip club in Georgia, authorities said Saturday. Kandi Burruss, the newest member of the hit Bravo reality show, posted on her Twitter page about the death and asked for prayers for Ashley (A.J.) Jewell’s six children. “I could never in a million years imagine this happening,” posted Burruss, a former member of the R&B group Xscape. “I’m just in one of those moods where I don’t wanna talk,” she posted early this morning. “I don’t wanna be held & told its gonna be ok. I just wanna cry myself 2 sleep, alone,” she wrote.
Jewell, who made several appearances with Burruss on the show, suffered massive head injuries during a fight late Friday outside the Body Tap Club in Atlanta, according to police. Police arrested Fredrick Richardson hours later and charged him with voluntary manslaughter, officials said. Witnesses told Atlanta police Jewell fought with Richardson outside the skin palace. Richardson also was injured in the fight but will be charged once he is released from Grady Memorial Hospital. A spokesman for the Atlanta cops said it was not clear what prompted the brawl. “I adored A.J. [and] he will definitely be missed,” Housewives castmate Kim Zolciak told the Atlanta Journal Constitution. “I’ll be there for my dear friend Kandi,” said Zolciak, who called the killing “disgusting.” “I can’t imagine the loss they’re feeling.
Jewell was co-owner of the Body Tap, which opened in March 2008 and claims on its MySpace page that it offers $5 lap dances and draws “the sexiest ladies from all over. “Burruss, 33, joined the reality series this year, which debuted in July to the highest ratings of any series in the Real Houseswives franchise.
