Real Housewife Kandi Burruss' Fiance Killed Outside Of Strip Club
Posted on Sat Oct 3, 2009 07:56 AM PDT

Kandi Burruss, the newest ATL housewife and hit songwriter to Whitney Houston, Alicia Keys, TLC and Pink, suffered the tragic loss of her fiance Ashley “A.J.” Jewell when he sustained fatal injuries following a fight outside of a strip club in Atlanta last night.
"It appears he was involved in an altercation in the parking lot and he received a severe blow to the head," Atlanta Police Lt. Keith Meadows tells WSBTV. And although police are still trying to determine a motive for the fight, "We have developed a person of interest and we've made contact with him to question him about the incident," said the Lt.
Anyone who watched the season knows how much Kandi was in love with her fiance, whom fought frequently with her mother about.
"I could never in a million years imagine this happening," Kandi tweeted this morning. "Please pray for A.J.'s children...that's who i'm the most concerned for. I'm about to give my swollen eyes some rest now. I just wanted to say thanks two everyone for their prayers."

Why do you all post messages here that are for Kandi?? Do you actually think she comes to this x17online website in the hopes of finding messages for her, and reads what you have said? Why would she go to a "Celebrity Scoop" type of website at all? SHE WOULDN'T!!! This is meant to be a place for you to make a COMMENT about the situation .... it is not a website that was designed for sending messages to celebrities, and is NOT a place where you can leave messages for her. It isn't a site that Kandi uses, nor does she own it, nor does she read your messages!! If you really want to send her messages of sympathy, try sending them to her thru her record label, or online at Bravo TV....not here, and not at any of the other websites that are set-up for stories about celebrities! Come on now people, use your heads!!
