A friend in Atlanta just texted me this news: AJ Jewell, Real Housewives of Atlanta cast member Kandi Buruss’s former fiancee (he was featured prominently in last night’s episode) was fatally injured tonight.
According to news reports, he suffered a severe head injury after being involved in a fight, was taken to the hospital and died. Kandi’s rep has confirmed the news. Kandi’s engagement to AJ was a major source of conflict between her and her mother, especially because AJ had six children. As of a few months ago, Kandi announced she had called the engagement off. She told Essence magazine that despite their breakup, she is the legal guardian of AJ’s twin 12 year old daughters. I’d like to send my condolences to Kandi and AJ’s families in this awful time.
