Kandi Burruss says on her Twitter account that she
needs some alone time after learning her fiancé was murdered during a fight at a strip club last night in Atlanta. The late Ashley “A.J.” Jewell had
been featured on the popular reality show “Real Housewives of Atlanta” with Kandi, the newest cast member.
“im just in one of those moods where i dont
wanna talk, i dont wanna b held & told its gonna b ok. i just wanna cry
myself 2 sleep, alone,” she writes on Twitter.
This is a particularly trying period for Burruss,
who has to bury her recently passed uncle on Saturday.
Police reports confirm that Burruss’ fiance Jewell suffered severe
trauma to the head after being involved in a physical altercation outside the
popular strip club Body Tap early Saturday morning. He was then transported to
the hospital where he was pronounced dead. Burruss’ ongoing attempts to marry
Jewell – who had several babies’ mommas which created friction between him and
Burruss’ mother – created one of the more interesting and compelling story lines
on “Real Housewives of Atlanta”, the highest-rated of the “Real Housewives”
franchise.
On her Twitter account, Burruss thanks her fans and friends for their prayers and condolences and revealed that she needs to regain her strength for another close person to her who recently passed.
“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.”
More
recently, Burruss shared that she’s still in disbelief at the sudden and tragic turn of events
“I could
never n a million years imagine this happening. please pray for AJ’s children.
that’s who im the most concerned 4.” Burruss has custody of Jewell’s twin teenaged daughters. –terry shropshire
