Brew News: Kandi's Fiance Killed

We all laugh at the drama that is the Real Housewives of Atlanta, but this season, the show has taken an awful turn for its newest cast member.

The former fiance of RHOA star Kandi Burruss was killed in a fight outside Body Tap in Atlanta Friday night. 33 year old Ashley "AJ" Jewell (the father of 6) was co-owner of the Georgia strip club. Police say he suffered massive head injuries in the fight. Atlanta police arrested club co-worker Frederick Richardson in connection with the case. He's been charged with voluntary manslaughter.

Kandi took to her Twitter page to talk about the incident:

In August, Kandi told Essence magazine the marriage was put on hold and the relationship "on hiatus" but that she and AJ would remain friends.

Our prayers go out to her and AJ's children. What awful news.

UPDATE: Police have charged Frederick Robinson with voluntary manslaughter. He's currently recovering in the hospital from injuries sustained in the alleged fight with Jewell. He will be arrested once released. Police are trying to sort out the details but preliminary findings point to a business deal gone wrong.
